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? |

There is or was a Pantera only shop in Mountain View when I lived down there. The owner said the two biggest problems with them were they overheated very easily, and even when the engine wasn't overheating, the driver often was. The gearboxes were/are quite dear, and hard to get parts for, at least in the US.
I've long suspected they're the kind of car that's wonderful to own, and terrible to drive. The Italians are masters at these kinds of cars. No vote on the which way to go question. |
