Some cars where not meant to be replicated ....this is one. In this case we are talking about a car that is pretty inexpensive for what it is .....I have seen many on ebay in the 30k USD range. buy the real thing its worth it

Panteras look like fun project cars the only thing i dont like about them is the Ford V8. I wish they came with V12 engines.

I have to agree with kitcarguy, these are too inexpensive to even consider replicating. The thing is if you try to build a car for any less then $30K it will show! It is often forgot that exotic cars look expensive because they are!! And to replica that you gotta spend money hence why so many people give up on they dream and why there are bargains to be had in the classifieds. So go buy the real thing and turn it into your dream and you will be better off…besides the pantera was/is much like a kitcar in many ways.

Bingo....like I said its one of those cars not worth replicating.....great to look at but with the cost of the original at about the price of a new WRX STI its just not worth it. Good luck on your quest for the perfect car.
