May all your Christmas, Holiday and New Year’s wishes come true. For mine to come true, Santa, this Pantera is going to need a little home-country friend to keep it company, like the one after the jump:

Full-time rust fixer, maybe, mechanic, I think not. That’s a Ford V8 under there, with IIRC the same transaxle as a GT40. The marginal cooling system may be an issue on a hot day, but otherwise the drivetrain is as stout as the come. Of course, they toss the rest of it in for free…. True, it has a 351, so it's rather easy to hop up. The transaxle is a classic piece by ZF. Works well, up to a point - above 800 or so HP, they tend to frag. ZF no longer does parts for it, but there's a guy that has all the parts and tools. Everybody that I know that has had one fixed the cooling eons ago - simple to do. The rest of them were pretty well sorted by the 80s. The later model GT5 is a bit boy-racer for some, but I like it in the bespoilered-Countach sort of way. The driving position is a bit classic 'ciao Sofia', but pretty livable (I'm 6'). Personally, if you're looking for something that's fun and well sorted for $50K, I'd recommend it. Bonus: you don't see a dozen of them every time you drive to McDonalds. Unlike C5s/C6s...

  True, but then again, that 'Vette probably has a decent A/C system, and won't bake you alive as you drive it.

IBx1 Everyone in the working class (if you’re not in the obscenely wealthy capital class and you perform work for money you’re working class) should unionize.

Ltcmgm78 Imagine the feeling of fulfillment he must have when he looks upon all the improvements to the Corvette over time!
ToolGuy "The car is the eye in my head and I have never spared money on it, no less, it is not new and is over 30 years old."• Translation please?(Theories: written by AI; written by an engineer lol)
Ltcmgm78 It depends on whether or not the union is a help or a hindrance to the manufacturer and workers. A union isn't needed if the manufacturer takes care of its workers.
