there is alottery wiinner in bishop that braggs on his very modded pantera .its suppose to be the fastest car in bishop 60 miles north. well having made a job change again back to the old golf course job that i found I loved. but thats another story. well i am coming back from bakersfield with 300 lbs of fertilizer in the car . i go to turn on the lightsand one doesnt come up. So I pull off and open up the clam and a wire is stopping it . So i fix that and am just dropping the clam and ihear this roar go by . I spin around and its that Pantera that everyone talks about. so off i go about 2 miles ahead I catch up ,he seem to slow thinking i am a chp maybe so i shift into 4th blast by ,hopefully letting him knowthat I wanta play, so I slow shift into 4 th . the first ime i kinda jump the gun . but i notice he doesnt gain on me I slow again and this time he hits it first but low and behold by the top of 4th I am 2 cars ahead and going strong .i hit 120 and slow .he pulls up next to me and we go again with the same result . then he slows to 30 and off we go . till 55 we are evn i hear him shift and he falls a car back and by 120 i am 3-4 cars ahead well i slow wxpecting him to motion me to pull over but he just zooms by. well i get home an hr later and have 15 messages on my machine from buddies in bishop telling me about this guy complaing that I jumped him.but that I had a fast car . so we set up a 1/4 mile race last night . thank god for small towns with not enough cops . we raced twice (with about 50on lookers) well he got e out of the gate but i pulled by him hard and by the end of the 1/4 got him by 2 cars both times . i had my Gtech hooked up times were 12.18 @118.79 and 112.75 @119.62 A4000et eelevation . the group of car guys there pronounced me king of ownes valley. kinda strange feeling as its been a hard week getting banned from the forum by a person who bald faced lied about me . god sure is an interesting guy how did he know this was just what I needed to bring e out of the doldroms even if it was a tad illegal. Man i love these cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just gotta say that is a cool story!

Ya'll be careful, now!

Brought back some memories for me. Man in 72 I thought the Pantera L was the nuts!

It also just proves what I say about these cars.....they can cure a bad day!

THANX FOR THE THOUGHTS . I too can remember looking in the show room floor late at night wishing i could own a pantera. dumb kid thinking that I could get the girl of my dreams(jackie kidd)if I only had that car. I got to start acting my age instead of being a kid . but ffor those few minutes i felt 18 and on top of the world. i know now though I WILL always own one of these Cars anything else .............. just aint good enough
