Pantera #3887 Review

For those that are interested, the following link provides a review of the Pantera on which I did a cursory inspection this past Sunday and some pictures of the car. After Mike Langston and I passed on buying the car, I was told it sold to someone in Texas. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1276591225714207.1073741858.100000900252005&type=1&l=cebbefed29 Dick Koch - Atlanta For those that are interested, the following link provides a review of the Pantera on which I did a cursory inspection this past Sunday and some pictures of the car.

Over on Facebook "Motorology" someone is claiming the L bumper in front stopped a wind noise / buffeting issue. Sounds like malarkey to me, but I don't have pre-L to make a comparison to. Was this ever a thing ? GD Over on Facebook "Motorology" someone is claiming the L bumper in front stopped a wind noise / buffeting issue.

I will go on the record that my chrome bumpers do not stop wind noise above 120 MPH. Is it just me? On Aug 17, 2016 8:53 PM, "Guido deTomaso" <guido_detomaso@prodigy.net> wrote:

I've had mine on and now off, I can't tell anything, car still goes fast, I just have to clean a few more bugs off the paint. My windows are usually open so there's always wind! Lol.

Isn't wind noise a property of an object's inefficient movement and speed in air and that's why no one never hears a golf ball until it hits you. Speaking about golf balls did any one ever see the Myth Busters episode where they put golf ball dimples on a car and actually made the care more efficient. But who wants to drive around in a car that looks like a golf ball that would be as bad as having s goat for a pet,,, no one wants a goat as a pet. Sent from my iPhone

I always thought the L-bumper was a designer "tip o' the hat" to celebrate the unique look of the duckbill platypus. In addition to eliminating wind noise/buffeting, the L-bumper also serves to function as a link from one front corner to the other so that when the car is involved in a front corner collision, the opposite corner also receives equivalent damage, which is a very clever design characteristic to ensure that the un-crashed corner does not miss out on all the fun.

Isn't wind noise a property of an object's inefficient movement and speed in air and that's why no one never hears a golf ball until it hits you. Speaking about golf balls did any one ever see the Myth Busters episode where they put golf ball dimples on a car and actually made the care more efficient. But who wants to drive around in a car that looks like a golf ball that would be as bad as having s goat for a pet,,, no one wants a goat as a pet.

So Doug, That was an intriguing read. I could not put it down. Who knew? I may have to rethink my life and love for K-9s. On Aug 18, 2016 4:29 PM, "Douglas Kelm" <dakelm@qwest.net> wrote:

That sucks he did not honor your initial cash offer. It must have looked worse in person not to have gone $10/15K! (before the TX 25K offer).

Joe, I'm happy for the young man and have no regrets for passing on the car. He got more than he was initially asking for the car, which for a guy that looked like he really needed the money is a good thing. Mike and I debated on paying more for the car. I had told Mike that the car could be parted out for at least $40k, or flipping it for a quick profit, even with the major issues with the body sheet metal and other parts of the car. While there was no downside on paying more for the car, when it came down to it, Mike and I had other things on our plate and decided to pass. Dick Koch - Atlanta On Aug 18, 2016 8:59 AM, "Joseph F.
