As with any other car or major purchase, it is best to get as much good information as you can to help you find the right car for you, to buy it at a good price, and to avoid getting a lemon. The information in this article should help guide you on your journey.
Most importantly, you should meet current Pantera owners. We are a tight knit community that supports one another. Don't be shy about asking for help. We have an active e-mail list that you can subscribe to and ask questions. We also have a new web forum.

The De Tomaso factory built a handful of full-race Panteras to compete in FIA Group 4, featuring a host of chassis and suspension modifications. The characteristics of these cars have been fairly well documented in the past, including the Fall 1996 Profiles. Due to their limited numbers, finding an original Group 4 car for sale is next to impossible, and those cars are fantastically expensive when they do trade hands, which isn’t often.
What many people fail to realize is that De Tomaso also built less-radical race cars to compete in FIA Group 3, either for road-racing or on- and off-road rallying. Comparatively little is known about these cars, as they received considerably less publicity.

The OEM BFG space-saver spare was the subject of a Ford recall in the mid-70s, due to the thing being unsafe to use. This is the BFG that in the folded mode has a perfectly flat tread area with a sharp edge where the sidewall attaches, and it was on a std 7x 14" Ford steel wheel. There may be rubber flashing hanging on unused ones. These wre essentially 4-ply inner tubes, good for 50 miles at a max speed of 50mph.
