Description: "Looking for a great Pantera? This is it! Tons of horsepower, 
and handling like a slot car, this is perhaps one of the finest examples of a 
Pantera Group IV in North America! Over $70,000 invested in improvements and 
restoration, not to mention the purchase price - and   I have the receipts to 
prove it. The list of improvements is a VERY LONG one, beginning with racing 
suspension, racing brakes, improved cooling, a Kenz & Leslie engine (less 
than 500 miles on this fire breather!), gobs and gobs of body improvements, 
Gotti 3 piece alloy wheels ($825 EACH!), Pirelli P-345 rear tires, P-285 
fronts, air dam, rear spoiler, flares, Ricarro seats, and on and on. This car 
sounds like a monster, runs like mad, and the handling is out-of-this world! 
If you want to turn heads, and get tons of attention at the car shows, this 
is the way to go. For interested parties, I will be happy to provide a list 
of the work done - NOTHING has been overlooked. If I were keeping the car, 
I'd consider new paint (some chips and cracks), and a higher output 
electronic ignition to keep up with the big engine - which, by the way, is a 
351 Cleveland with cam, lots of performance goodies, and more. Wanna 
intimidate Porsche drivers? With a few inexpensive mods, this engine can put 
out over 700 horsepower! I've set a modest reserve, taking into consideration 
the cost of a paint job (if desired...), and below the cost of a modest 
family truckster. This car will not depreciate - the Truckster will. This is 
my personal car. I know it's history. It has been in storage since 1993, and 
has been lovingly maintained it's entire life. No rust - Common with 
Panteras. Great chassis, great engine, great looks, great performance. I will 
be happy to answer any email questions. You can see the car in Evergreen, 
Colorado (25 miles west of Denver). Successful bidder to handle all 
transportation costs/responsibilities. Check my feedback and bid with 
complete confidence. I've had a LOT of fun with this car, now it's your turn. 
Please be patient while photos load - it's well worth the wait!"
