Pantera clone body (where to buy)? (Page 1/1)
Pantera383sbc FEB 18, 03:12 PM
Hey guys I gotta 85 Fiero I swapped in a 383 swap(mild cam and 180 degree headers).I’m looking for someone who molds fiberglass pantera bodies(preferably the 1st gen 70s one) but I can work with the newer or hell even a GT40 body would be okay. But I’m mainly lookin for that classic 70s pantera look. I’ve seen some very nice work in other forums and google images. Plz point me in the right direction. Your help is very much appreciated. This is my dream car.

Thank y’all

There was a person on here making the body kits but I have no idea what happened to him. The issue with the Fiero for ALL replicas has been the annoying tall roofline. It ruins the look of almost every kit. Here is the stock Fiero roofline with the kit:



And the same kit with a 3" chopped roof:

The first car I ever was interested in was my Dentist's Pantera back in 1972.....Also first road test I ever read in Mechanix Illustrated.......

I am kind of weird tho; I actually like the Pantera L with the 5 MPH bumpers...I think they look better with them (The original bumperettes don't FIT the shape of the front end)

Here is a comparo (The 5 mph bumper is little warped- I have seen them in good shape and they look even better)

Yep,
Dave and I did several kits. I just happen to know where a couple versions are located and could be made available. Contact me through PM for more information.

Hi,
Could I see a pic of your 180* headers?
Thanks,

Stumbled on the thread for the 'in the beginning' sort of thing in case people are interested.
