'71 Pantera Pics....

Is he going to put some tires on the back with some wider treads??? I like the look of the Pantera, but I have never been in one. What are the driving impressions?

Thats one BAAD MOFO

 

You should take a ride in one. They are very fast and exciting cars, and I think they are THE best buy on the collector car market and have been for a very long time. Muscle car enthusiasts look down on them because the body was made in Italy and foreign car enthusaiasts look down on them because they have an American engine. But they are very quick, they have a timelessly beautiful and clean design, and they are very cheap to maintain. You can literally buy a new engine for the price of an annual service on a 12 cylinder Ferrari.

 

One of the greatest car's in history, well in my opinion, and wow the line's!!!!! Gotta run I messed my keyboard over those pic's LOL!!

 

Youre right on the money. Funny, its those things that make me love them...Italian body, American muscle. Lets all do what we are best at!

This car is AMAZING! I couldnt think of a better way to do a Pantera.

 

Dont forget that most most importantly, in stock trim they can blow away most muscle cars and exotics...brutal cars. Hot rodded they are incredible, virtually limitless set-ups for power and handling/braking too...all for much cheaper than the " thoroughbreds"

 

i'll try o post pics of my mangusta when i return to the states. the pantera is one bad to da bone ride...thanks 4 the comments...

The Mangusta pics by Issac-Thanks Issac, is a '69 that underwent a 250K resto in '95 has traveled only 186 miles since! I was told it won its class at Pebble Beach that year.
Enjoy!!

Stunning Goose. Absolutely gorgeous. I think the Miura and the Mangusta are right up there with my all-time favorite designs.

 

Thanks!

 

What do non-showroom models go for balpark?

 

Nice Pantera could be had for ~35- 40K Mangusta add another 10-20. There are only 150 of the original 401 Mangustas made still registered to exist. Some are complete basket cases. Problem with some Panteras is since they can be had in the 20's some bad taste mods/add ons can be found on otherwise ownable cars. One need not look far.

 

What size are the rear wheels? They look HUGE!!

 

Interested in the wheels on that goose too, tell us about them. Do you not drive this car?
I was trying to buy a Mangusta is California over the last few days but could not get the car checked out as the owner was away, had another looked at also but it was in pretty bad shape, the seller was not honest in his description.

Pantera wheels are Boyd C's and the rears are 18X13 w/345-35's The Goose wheels are Etoiles 17's I believe the fronts are 10 and rears 12". The Goose is only exercised to temp and put away. Too hard to keep it to that detail if driven on the street regularly. I do drive the Pantera on the street though...

 

does anybody know of a mangusta for sale?

 

Here is one www.pim.net or www.panteracars.com

Good Luck!

Tony

 

I'd be willing to sell mine for the right monies. You've seen the pics on this thread. If serious PM me.
