Point/Counterpoint: DOHC v OHV

The Pantera is the next car on my bucket list. When I decided to get another car I was torn between the Pantera and the ZR-1. I'm glad I went with ZR-1 but it only temporarily eased my desire for a Pantera. My Dad had a yellow '74 when I was growing up. It was one nasty car. Now that all of the electrical and overheating fixes are out they can be very dependable. And I can't remember the last time I saw one on the road.

I once owned a 71 Pantera (#1683)...hence my username. It was great car and I modded that car to no end. I even replaced the 351 Cleveland with a 5.4L DOHC motor. I am quite certain I was the first to ever do it. It was such a fun car to own, modify, and drive. As expected, the prices have gone up considerably since I owned mine. I may even have pictures somewhere...
