Default Pantera

Anyone else a fan of the ole pantera? my dad was tellin me stories of he and his dad doing 165+ in one. He said it was like a late 70s model that had some real ***** to it for its time.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but the pantara was a full race car for the street. Big block ford, lots of power, tub chassis. everything.

Here are some pics. And 165 is not all that much for these cars.

What are you talking about? they were in production in the 70s because my family used to sell them. My dads dad had the biggest Ford dealer around here. And in the 70s, 165mph was not "nothing" for a car right off the showroom, 165 was fast in those days.. Those links are of panteras reworked, not the real pantera, you really that ford biult them with that same motor in them? your dreaming.
