Great job. Back in '75 when the Pantera came out through Lincoln Mercury, they took all the Pantera reps on the east coast and put us through a week long Bondurant course on the track at Daytona. It was a blast and we brought our 1st inventory cars back home with us. Mine was a canary yellow one with chunks of rubber knocked out of the Goodyear Arriva tires they came with . I was stopped three times on the way back to Atlanta and never got a ticket. The HP just wanted to know what it was and see it.

They were a good car but the design of the pressurized cooling system for the 350 cubic inch mid engine wasn't fully baked for normal shop mechanics to work on. It was the weak link for us.

My apologies to Ron Fellows! The cars were close together, and I was in the Bondurant car. Didn't notice. (Ron Fellows really is one of my favorite drivers - met him a few years ago.)
