Had a few buddies in town labour day weekend. We did a 'tech session' and rebuild 4 steering rack, instaled a bump steer correction shim kit, instaled a set of headers, tumed a few cars and reworked some electical issues. How would you like to walk in to this garage?

The main host owns a few cars, the GT40 is a GTD40 #09988, very well done, does not look or sound like a kit at all, he also owns a 71 DeTomaso Pantera and Mangusta (not shown)
azfast, nice set-up , now you need a few tools, a refreshment fridge and some decor. tell us about the Cosmo!

The Pre L is a very original 72, just bought from the previous 36 year owner, unrestored, never in the rain, no rust, 27k miles. The L10A Cosmo is restored, will be shown at the Palos Verdes Concours D'Elegance next Sunday the 18th. The unrestored L10B and the Toyota 2000 GT belong to a friend who is storing them here.

Quick question on the large rear fan that resides over/behind the transmission. Is this fan designed to pull hot air from the engine compartment or cool something else. I noticed the car has a standard radiator and fan setup under the front hood. Interested if adding a similar fan in a 308 would help cooling or this is unqiue to the Pantera.

Most surprising thing is that the fan it pulls the air in. The hot air actually escapes thru the hatch opening at driving sppeds. If your 308 has overheating issues, there could be other issues such as carb mixture, spark plug temperature & gapping. Pantera owners use other tricks: water wetter coolant additive, good modern radiator shrouded pusher fans, modern design radiator, exhaust coatings....

I've also driven a few late model Pantera GT5s and find they drive even better. Lighter steering, clutch, smoother and even softer ride (to my aging back that is a plus...). I have a good friend who drives his GT5 all the time and he always exits the car with a big smile. Fantastic value for money, IMHO. Also a pretty great looking car for a 40 year-old.
