[Spridgets] No LBC - Itaiy and America Unite

For some strange reason, FOMOCO decided to sell the Pantera through its
Lincoln dealers.  Probably, because of the $10k price putting it in the
high-end category.  While beautiful, the Pantera initially  suffered a lot of
problems, like overheating and Italian rustosis. The simple lines of the
original Pantera were modified through the years to accommodate wider rubber
and huge rear wings (the "chairs and flares" cars)  Over the years, cures have
been found for most of the shortcomings, but consulting with an expert before
purchase makes a lot of sense.

And I had one of them stop in front of my house a few years ago. Owner
was having some problems and pulled over to make sure it was going to
make it home. There is so much to like in one of those! They just had
an aura that felt right. Of course this guy wound up selling it and
buying a Viper. Came back a year or so later and handed me the keys to
the Viper and told me to take it for a spin. WOW! There is nothing
like knowing that any time I wanted to pass someone it was simply a
matter of pushing the right foot a fraction farther down. Good thing I
have Spridgets; I would be a menace in one of those. Sadly enough, the
Viper caught fire a couple weeks later.
