That Pantera is Far Beyond Driven.
-
You all really pulled out all the stops on this episode. This video is wonderful.
-
I like how the assessment was quick and while still in the garage; it didn't take but a few minutes to note the overall condition and mileage, then the flatbed was immediately brought in. No dicking around with anything else, just close the deal and take it away for its much needed overhaul. Looking forward to seeing what Brian does with this.

I worked for Tony for many yrs & learned priceless information from him, I remember the blue & red Panteras seating next to each other with a lotus esprit hanging from the ceiling directly above the them, Those where great times i miss working with the old man. & the pink sign said "if you value your life then you will not touch these vehicles"
-
As a devoted Ford fan, this one had drooling from the get go…FANTASTIC to see the PANTERA in such original condition!!! Looking forward to follow up episodes!
-
What a fantastic opportunity, always have loved these cars, I just kept saying "wow" the whole episode. Congratulations!
-
The steering wheel for that car is the same that came with the British Ford Capri Mk1 GT, (1969-1973) so you should be able to get a replacement quite easily, just change the center cap from the Capri logo to the De Tomaso one.
-
I hope you guys make another episode so we can watch the Pantera get running

Back in the spring of 72, I was stationed at Ft Sam Houston, in San Antonio. One weekend, there was a new car show at the convention center downtown, so, being a car geek, I went to look at the new cars, that I knew I couldn't afford. At the Ford, Lincoln-Mercury display, was a bright orange Pantera. I stood there looking at it for a bit, and one of the people there asked if I'd like to sit in it. Heck yeah! Closest I ever came to owning one. I do have a couple plastic models, and a nos 74 Pantera parts catalogue. Lots lower maintainence on them.

I’ve been watching Barn find hunter for so many years now and I have to say this is one of my favourite episodes. The people, the cars, the story and the outcome all perfect. Thank you
-
What a great barn find! I’m jealous!!
-
That's right guys keep finding them and keep saving them don't let die
-
Great to see the gang all together!
-
This was an awesome episode! Pantera and THREE Tigers! What a find. I can listen to Tom talk all day long.
-
My ex girlfriend's dad had an unbelievable Tiger. He liked me enough to let us take it out for a date night. I've never had so many compliments and questions thrown at me in a car. I've driven some wild stuff but the attention we were getting was insane. Being a young and attractive couple in a convertible at the time didn't hurt us. I'd almost take one over a Cobra if economics weren't involved.
-
One of the best episodes I've seen in a long time.thank you tom and company.
-
I hope the Tigers find good homes as are a beautiful car when restored.
-
Being a 'Brit', I do struggle to enjoy American car shows, but I like this guy presenting here, He knows his stuff and he's not trying to prove anything. More of the same, please!
-
AMAZING. My favorite cars of all time together in one barn find episode.. A Pantera and the Sunbeam Tigers. Personally, even if I found a Tiger and the cross member was rusty, along with other spots on the car, I would still get it and rebuild it. I know metal fabrication and don't have the money to buy a nice one, so would work with what I could afford.
