The Pantera

One of my favorite automobiles.

The original car shows it's beautiful lines and it is refreshing to see  one 
that has not been modified with chrome wheels, chrome engine bay,  chrome 
license plate frame and so-on. (Do I really need to mention the  aluminum wings? 
No? I didn't think so.)

I'll add a typical period story. A friend of mine in college in the early 70's 
shows me a little portfolio of a Pantera he is going to survey. Beautiful and 
original but a little pricey at $11,000. but hey, we were into cars. You could 
look for free. A couple of years later Bob Sharp, the Datsun racer and auto 
dealer in CT, had one for sale for a personal friend. Another beautiful and 
original car, similar price.

Those were the days.
