PVGP recap
by Kurt Byrnes 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

I raced my MG last weekend at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. It was quite the eventful weekend. I met Pantera owner Matt Harkis and his friend Paul who were both driving Matt's 1965 Wolseley Hornet. Paul drove in the under 1 litre class and Matt was driving in the under 1.5 litre class. Their car overheated significantly during Matt's practice session and when they brought it back to the paddock, it started spilling the nastiest milky slime I've ever seen come from a radiator overflow. The strange thing was the engine oil looked perfect. After a compression test and a bit of investigating, we concluded it must be the Setrab oil/water heat exchanger. They pulled the Setrab and thoroughly flushed the entire cooling system. Their car ran great the rest of the weekend. During my first full lap of qualifying, my clutch pedal jammed to the floor and I never got a time so would have to start from the back of the pack. A floorboard screw had come loose and fallen into the pedal box. Due to a Nash Healey loosing most of its oil during the session, several driver's chose to come in early and didn't set very fast qualifying times as well. Although Sunday morning practices are not typically timed for gridding, a friend and I went out to set fast times in hopes they would use our Sunday times. We were pushing hard. We got separated lapping some slower traffic and I lost sight of him. Unfortunately, he had total brake failure at one of the fastest parts of the course and hit a jersey barrier and rolled. I came passed him and his car about 5 seconds after he crashed, his car upside down against the barrier. Fortunately, he walked away from the crash but was taken to hospital for scans and tests. His car is repairable and he was back at the track a few hours later. Thank goodness for all the safety gear. Sunday's final race came and there were now three of us who would be the front runners and George, who used to dominate the class but has been slowing down the last few years. Although I was supposed to be gridded at the back, they moved me up to third where my friend who crashed was to be. As a group, the three of us decided to secretly allow George to win and try to put on the best show we could. We traded positions numerous times and allowed George to work his way past us. Although I think he figured out what we were doing, he was grinning from ear to ear on the podium. I didn't get over to the DeTomaso display at the Cortille but Matt, Paul and my son all did. They said there were about 8 Panteras which is many more than usual. If you made it, hope you had a good time. I posted some footage here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLLaFXaOPmo Kurt

Need Pantera Door Rod
by Fred Sweeney 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Looking for the "Rod - outside door handle R/L" . It is the small rod that has nylon (?) tips on both ends. It evidently connects the door key lock to the jamb latch. I think the number on it in my blowup tech manual drawing is #61. I have a square handle '72 Pantera. I can lock the door with the inside knob (technical name), but not the key. If you have one of these rods, please EMAIL me with the price delivered and your snail address so I can forward funds. Thanks in advance.

Re: [DeTomaso] detomaso pantera alternator bracket
by cengles＠cox.net 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Dear John and Jack, This is a tangential comment about duplicating a Pantera alternator bracket. I know just enough to be dangerous, but.........from what I hear about fancy computers and 3D printers, is it possible to scan a factory alternator bracket with the proper (high dollar) scanner and then have a 3D printer make a copy that could be sent to John? I *think* that it is technologically probable, but I suspect that cost of the fancy scanning and the 3D printer might equal buying and shipping a new or used alternator bracket to New Zealand.

20 Jul '16

So I drove down to the San Diego Pantera chapter meeting @ Mimi's on Mira Mesa Blvd this evening. Nobody was there, so I had dinner by myself. Did I get the wrong day or has the location for these meetings changed? One day (hopefully soon) I'll meet up with some of you San Diego folk. Roydon

WTB: Probe SRS 14213-020 Piston
by Garth Rodericks 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

I'm looking for a single Probe Sportsman Race Series piston (#14213-020). This is a forged 383/408 stroker piston with a 16cc dish for a Ford 351C. Looking for a single used piston in excellent condition. But if you know of a new set sitting on a shelf somewhere, I'm willing to buy the entire set if necessary. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks! Garth #4033 I'm looking for a single Probe Sportsman Race Series piston (#14213-020). This is a forged 383/408 stroker piston with a 16cc dish for a Ford 351C.

Sidewalk cafe in Arnage....

Hi guys, Fred and Nancy Phillips, in front of part of our crew and a dozen or so of Charlie's friends from Spain on the main drag in Arnage..... Dinner on the street with a rolling car show all evening long. Saw several Panteras, and everything from a 1920s Bugatti, various modern super cars, a Mini Marcos, and on and on and on...countless! We had a delightful dinner, great simple food and laughably cheap. Now in a tent with amazing cars and people partying all around us. What could be better? Mike Sent from my iPhone

Shelby events
by scott black 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

All, Michael Shortt mentioned me and my connection to the Ford Shelby GT350 track tour in his latest club email. I would like to shed a bit of light behind that program. FMC contracted with TPRM to fill up two sessions at each of the 8 events. We were responsible for media and the "competitive" makes session. As a long time Pantera owner (almost 30 years), the first group my team contacted was the area POCA chapters using the contact info in the monthly newsletter. We wanted every member in the area of an individual event to have an opportunity to participate. I believed that Pantera owners were great prospects for the car. Sadly, some chapters never responded to calls and emails. Others let their members know. A handful of POCA members attended like Nancy and Michael Haney, Dick Koch, Michael Shortt and Forest G. I believe several POCA members were also at the Ariz. event last year. However, the response rate from other marques was MUCH better. If any POCA member wonders why they did not know about an event in their area, they now know the reason.

NPC- Gallery of photos from the historic races at Road America

Here's a link to some photos my son took at the races last weekend. The 50th anniversary of the Can-Am series was recognized and the largest field of Can-Am cars was there. Unfortunately, for the first time in the 26 years I've been going to this event, I did not see a Pantera (on the track or in the parking areas). I hope this doesn't mean that the rising prices of our cars is causing people to not drive them.
