A friend and fellow Pantera owner has an identical TR6 in exceptional condition that he loves, and it's quite beautiful, I must admit. My 53 year old entry is my early '72 De Tomaso Pantera (built late '71) that I've owned for approximately 30 years. Coincidentally, my next door neighbor has a '73 Pantera that he bought new in '73 for about $9800. My car was barely driveable for the first 20 years with so many issues and overheating problems within the first 10 or so meters. When I bought my Jag XKR in 2013, I just gave up driving the Pantera altogether. A couple of years of it just sitting in my driveway forced me to make a decision to either get rid of it or finally make it the car I always hoped it would be. After four years of modification and restoration, it is now a luxurious, ferocious beast that I drive every weekend with few hiccups.
That is beautiful hilly10 said:
Mine would have been 56 this year. My first Classic car back in 1998
Hilly10, your TR6 looks lovely. It appears we are following similar paths...Edited by hilly10 on Tuesday 30th April 14:30
My first car which was only 6 years old when I bought it!
If it still exists, it will be 50. That's scary!
I loved that car and had a lot of adventures in it. Shortly after that photo was taken it 'failed to proceed' (not for the only time!)
