         Jeff -- tell us more about the Pantera. What's it like to live with one?  Pros and cons?  I always liked the overall shape.  I've seen some that were pretty run down, but I've also seen some beautiful ones.  And the sound is pretty terriffic -- at least from the outside. 
 
Was it livable?  Did you do the "normal" modifications -- cooling system upgrade, etc.?

         Ben - 
I really enjoyed this car.  If I could have found an automatic trans to put in it, I'd probably still have it.   Only other thing that bothered me about was - the top wouldn't go down. 
 
It was fast and fun to drive.   I got a set of the factory TSB's, and just started from the back (latest update), and performed any TSB updates I considered relevant. 
 
It was not a difficult car to maintain, although mine was a little tougher than most with dual points and solid lifters.  Adjusting the valves was a back-breaker.   The Webers were fantastic sitting right behind your head - when you opened those babies up, you wondered if that magnificent deep-breathing sound was gonna suck your head in, too (in the Cobra, they are drowned out by side-pipes).
