Hey Ed,
Yep, that Pantera would look great with your Punto

In the big picture, don't Panteras seem like a deal? Too bad Shelby didn't sell them, then they would be worth millions.

Colin, very neat car. It would be a good one to bring to the Vettefest if you still have it.

Actually Colin the power windows always worked i told John you just had to smack the door panel above the switch lightly and they never failed once,must have been a loose wire!

I can't even imagine how easy that thing must spin the tires...

**csx289** · #5 09-10-2006, 05:45 AM

I've never spun the tires on any car I own

And the power windows work great with a new switch!

No not at all Colin...never tested the drum brakes on that green lift off hood at your Power Tour BBQ either.

I would just like to point out that Belair has no proof of this alleged abuse. It was probably my twin brother driving

BTW, Belair - your sig is old. Change it or be square

You know, everyone always thinks the ElCaminos are much lighter in the rear and are prone to losing traction more easily, but if you look at the engineering specs, they are actually a tad heavier on the rear axle than a sedan or coupe. They have a full station wagon floor pan under the bed floor, plus inner steel panels from the wheel house back, plus the heavy gauge sill at the back of the bed, and the extra tall reinforcements for latches in the rear quarters......not to mention the weight of the tail gate itself!. That all than more makes up for the lack of a "C" pillar and a deck lid.
