I have dreamed of owning one of these cars for over 25 years, even was a member of POCA for awhile and almost bought one in the late 90's. Still just a wish though. Do any members here own one or has owned in the past?
I am about to turn 40 and have been think about these cars a lot lately. I would love to hear about your experiences and see some photos posted. |

Just saw a '73 at a car show the other day.
Hadn't seen one in a while, and man, they are lower than I remembered. Nice looking cars, but I suspect a lot have had engine changes, and getting one mostly original, will be expensive. Good luck to you finding one. You only live once. |

| Jay Leno talks too much. The other guy can barely get a sentence out without being interrupted. Good video, though. I've really liked those cars for a good while now. A few years ago, I saw a totaled one down in Baton Rouge. It was at a car meet and cruise, and it was left behind the next day. I was able to basically crawl all over the car and get pictures. I was told that a teenage girl who was texting at the time pulled out in front of it. |

I love those cars. I learned from an early age its best to avoid supercars with special engines, unless you have a lot of money. the Pantera bi-passed that issue nicely.
I was looking at these maybe 5 years ago? and you could easily pick one up for around $25,000. I see them going for a heck of a lot of money now. |

The Jeep in my avatar is a 1979 Wagoneer with an early Gladiator truck grill. The one i am working on currantly is a 1979 Cherokee that I have put a 6.2L Detriot diesel into. I will upload some photos of my jeeps and once I figure out how post them on here to share. I should probably do a write up on the jeeps and armored scout cars I have been restoring the last few years. Probably when I am back on a graveyard shift and have time to do so.
What do most people do, use a photo hosting service like photobucket then link it onto their posting? |

Upload the picture there, find the link it gives you (should end in .jpg or something), and paste that link here. Sounds like some awesome projects. |

This gentleman does terrific work -soup to nuts- on high-end sports cars.
