I would LOVE too! But, I'm heading out tomorrow for a 2 month tour of the sandbox. I'll let you know when I'm back (mid march). I really want to link up with some other Cobra's and see what else is out there.

Here is another shot I took today...

I think you do all right. I might have been tempted to do the same swap.

Was it an even swap?

The Pantera is on it's way to Wa state, a dealer.. Park Place Ltd. It actually left me here in Ca on Weds.. and STILL hasn't reached the dealership! It's in a beautiful enclosed auto carrier. But, I think major snow storms between here and there are slowing things down. I was LUCKY to get my Cobra before I left. The truck driver said it was really bad driving down here.

The deal was close to a straight across trade. I gave them my Pantera and some dinero. But, not a bad deal for either of us. Park Place is a great bunch of people. I also own a 2003 SVT Cobra which I got from them. It only had a bit over 3,000 miles on it too. It now makes 450rwhp with 461 tq.

Here are my two snakes....

I have been on their website many times and they seem to have quality automobiles.

When you get a chance, I would like to hear your thoughts about Pantera ownership. I have wanted one since the early 70's, and have come close to pulling the trigger. But with some of the issues with them, I have always opted for something else.

Currently, I check the Pantera sites just about everynight. My 1st color of choice is Grabber Blue. There was one on PI that did not last long.

All of the issues Pantera's had can easily be addressed. The cooling system is and old one, but has long since had a solution. With a good aluminum radiator, good flowing water pump, and good electric fan or fans, the cooling problem is solved. You can also replace the cooling tubes that run from the rad to the motor for even better flow. PI sells EVERYTHING for the Pantera's to make them even more of the super car they started out.

The earlier cars ('71/'72) had minor electrical issues.. but, look a little better on the outside (no big bumpers). The later cars ('73/74) have better electrical systems and the single pod style dash (the early cars have a two pod dash).

Anyway, all the little problems with Pantera's can easily be taken care of. And OMG... a good running and sounding Pantera is a SWEEEEEET thing.

As I said before... I WILL own another Pantera some day.. It will come from PI... and, I'll park it right next to my SuperFormance Cobra.

Congrats on the SPF! Have fun, but take a little time to get familiar with the power and the fact that you only have a 90" wheelbase before getting too crazy. -It doesn't handle like your Pantera OR your 'Stang ! The 392 crate is a very popular choice for a lot of Cobra replicas (I know a couple guys with them myself) and it has been pretty reliable. If (I mean....WHEN) you get to the point of wanting more HP, do a search here on CC because there has been a lot of discussion on the power upgrades for the 392. Heck, just changing out the GT40x heads for a pair of AFR 185 or 205's will give you an extra 70-90 HP according to my buddies that have done this.

-Welcome to the Madness! Have fun, be careful, and (most of all) thank you for your service.

Terry
