Pantera
Hello guys,
dreaming a Cobra, even more a FGT ... to big to fit a GT40 :o.... i came across a '86 Pantera GT5S... deal done ... and i hope this is a keeper as i'm convinced now ! :cool: be patient... takes a few sec's... ;) just after a quick "polish" :LOL: www.vette.be/pantera.mpg |
Congratulations Wafflehead.
For those that don't know Norbert, he's from Belguim. Not a Cobra owner, but he is a first class gear head. Have known him for years and an all around great guy. |

Very nice car, I had a pre L 1972 car many years ago, wish I had been able to hang on to it. That car was really fun to drive. Enjoy your ride!

i know i'm ugly but at least i'm still young :p:p:3DSMILE:.....:o agree... it's a Holley "dog bone" filter... BUT... it's low profile and keeps that way "some" rear view which is already very limited....here on a Edelbrock carb... owell, will see what i wanne change..... sure not "rush" anything ... gonne first enjoy it as is and drive it ! :) |
oh.. and not that it will be unique but the first owner was nobody less then Caroll Shelby himself ! Buildyear '85 , he registrated the car 01/01/86 and sold it on 07/01/86 ... after 286 miles :D together with 2 other Pantera's.
Documents mention even another 2 Panteras which were not yet in the US at that time... so.. i have no proof.. but Shelby "could" have been behind the wheel :cool: |
my son put me on youtube :JEKYLHYDE...:)

Pretty car! We bought a yellow '72 Pantera the week after we sold CSX 3121 (September 1975). I don't know how your much later car was set up. but those sold in the U.S. exhibited nothing but understeer, to the point that if driven aggressively, the front tires would be gone in under 5k miles.
There's a pic in my gallery of my then 20-something wife standing next to the car. In an attempt to replicate the Cobra's performance, I upgraded the engine to Boss 351 specs and added headers, but it never offered the same intoxicating rush. |
Congratulations belgiumbarry. Great looking Pantera!
Toured the factory in 1986 when they were still building them. Always wanted one. Bonus that this was Mr Shelby's ride. Enjoy it. AR |
Looks and sound great!

Nice videos Norbert.
You need to go to the lounge and post the build pictures of your 928. You did some beautiful work on that car, and these guys love cars, not just Cobras. |
