Guys,
I found an unrestored 1974 Pantera Detomaso GTS that one of my fiance's bridesmaids has stashed away in the family Garage. The Car does not currently run (stored for 14 years) and I could probably get it (if I can gather the money) for a VERY good price. Which would you guys go for the Pantera or a 914 V8? |

Pantera!
Screw the driving position and comfort. I would find out why it is not running though. I am not so sure that the engine would be "cheap" to rebuild. What would be uncomforatble is pushing it to a local hang out just to sit in it and have the women look at your crotch. Sounds like if it was parked in running condition it is nothing more than battery and fluids. You might want to put in a good battery and make sure all of the electircal stuff works. Rodents may have been nibbling away. Once you are tired of it sell at a profit and buy several 914s! |
