[QUOTE="Heresy, post: 59179, member: 540683"] I've seen a range of Panteras from the first production ones to the later models. I wouldn't want a '71 pushbutton for the sole reason that the passenger compartment was known to get pretty warm because of crappy insulation between the occupants and the engine. Although it was the most powerful one made because it was right before gas started soaring. Whatever the case, Pantera's just looked fast and could be modded the same way as a Mustang could. I don't know specs without looking them up but my uncle could probably answer half the questions I ask him if I ever got around to calling him. He worked as an engineer at Ford for 25-30 years and just recently retired. Because he could get discounts straight from the company, that side of my family is impartial to Ford products and it somewhat rubbed off on me. But I don't have a favorite auto maker, I go for individual models and save the bantering for everyone else. [/QUOTE]
