Okay, how come a guy that bleeds Ford Blue took his first car ride in a GM?
It's not a Panther of course, but I think many of the lines resemble a two-door quite well.
This is the car I was brought home from the hospital after I was born.
I mother bought it in 1977. She liked the 5-Speed, and to be quite honest, I do too! Nothing like a full-sized (actually considered mid-sized at the time) with a 5-gear, three pedals, and a V8.
We kept it until 1989, when my dad said my mom had to get rid of it. He sold it to a co-worker, who's son wrapped the back end around a telephone pole within a week of buying it. Little brothers threw rocks at it after they set it back in a field and broke the grilles and windshield.
We bought it back in 1993. It has been in the garage ever since, waiting for it's new quarter panel. The windshield has been replaced, the trim is in the back seat.
It sports Salon bucket seats (rare), the 5-gear (really really rare!), and a 260 V8. With a 2.56 gear in the back, this thing is quite a freeway flyer.
Then there is the parts car we bought mostly for the grilles and taillights ('76 specific). Those parts have been removed for safe keeping. It's a rust bucket (probably about the worst I've seen in VA), but it's got a 350 4-bbl that still runs like a scalded dog. It's got buckets and a console as well over the standard bench most came with.
