Wow, nice cars! Pantera is great, and I also want one of those Gilbern's as a tow car ;-) In fact, I'd even break principle and have one without a towing hook ;-)
Is that 4A-GE engine a common choice for those GTM's?

GTMs are just such a lovely shape. A couple of years ago I was racing at minis V beetles at York and someone rocked up in a maestro turbo powered gtm.
Really would love one. How do they drive?

Really would love one. How do they drive? Bit tricky to get in, but once you get in, just like a go-kart. Properly set-up will pee on pretty much anything thru the twisties. Power to weight currently matches my Boss's Porsche Cayman 0-100mph  And yes, will do a build thread on the Pantera - as it is hand built originally will need much guidance especially on fitting new door skins. Bodywork isn't my strong point. |

Old man used to have a pantera, built by a roger someone, cnt remeber the name off top my head. i'll see if can dig out some pics.
Stroked windsor, twin suppercharged monster.
Pretty unreliable, kept throwing supercharger belts off.
but when running very very fast.
Heavy Clutch and the silly fiat X19 mirrors would come off above 130mph
I even bought a Detomaso Longchamp to keep it company, £200 though that was in 1999.
I never moved and eventually sold for bits. gave me £3000 in my pocket not bad for a 12yro

Time for a powerstroke pantera Surely The only bits missing are engine /box and windscreen. I'd love a clevor, but that'd mean circa £2.5k of gearbox to take the torque, so plan is 4.0 V8 Audi on audi box with a flywheel converter. All on megasquirt. |

I really REALLY like the GTM!
Didn't Elvis shoot his Pantera when it wouldn't start?

look at gt40 kits few gearbox options around
old man Still has a spare ZF sitting in a maclaren chassis, and a Pantera standard manifold, maybe a clutch and flywheel somewhere
Parteras are a pain to start, even worse when supercharged.
normally ok cold, with lots of pumping of throtle.
HOT however, not so clever. Electric water pump, and removing the boot liner will help alot.
one thing i'd be concerned with the audi lump is making sure its as easy to get engine in and out, getting to components up against bulkhead might be a pain.
