PANTERA just listed

Really rare machine, just listed on FeeBay, incase anyone’s looking...

Aaron

Hello Aaron,

Just now seen it, she is pretty clean right down to the coil. I picked up a Pantera from the UK a while back, not as clean as this particular one on eBay but mine is still in good condition.

Thanks for sharing,
Paul

One of Monte's all-time faves!

D I have the same problem with classic cars, but there sure are a lot of people who don't! Nostalgia by any other name?

The Pantera is up there with the Diablo µmax - short production run - interesting operating characteristics - thin but solid fan base. Kind of like the Pinzgauer.

Most guys won’t part w them, I know you can’t get Keith sell his. Must be reason why...

I am hatching a plot to buy the entire fleet of Pinzgauers from the Omani Forces - surely they are about tired of them - think of all the spare parts!!!

If you are confused, here’s a pic.

Is it desirable because it is rare? or because of how well it works? It don't look that impressive. Looks like it might be a good cherry picker because of the notch.

Are you asking about the Pantera or the Pinzgauer - they are both rare over here - The Pinzgauer has no notch!

Just kidding - the notch is the main attraction of the Pantera - and two tones if I remember correctly. Classic Jack Gifford design - a master of analogue design.

O man Rick those are some awesome looking off road wagons! I'd be a little nervous about mpg and yeah parts availability. Same reason I am not getting a Honda Element.

You want to “supersize” that? there’s always the Tatra 813. Saddam bought a bunch of them to convert into mobile Scud launchers. After the dust settled from the Gulf War, a bunch of them - unconverted ended up in Riyadh. I had a chance to drive one (slowly) around the lot a Saudi equipment dealer had them in - wow.

Sort of the grandad of the Pinzgauer. This monster is 8X8 - central backbone chassis with all the axles being swing axles from the central tube - V12 twin turbo air cooled diesel, central horizontal PTO winch with fairleads in all four directions - Just the thing for hauling all those Czech Panzer divisions to the front where they were scheduled to be the breakthrough forces to bust the NATO defenses.

This is also one of Hombre's fave Detectors.

That is a very well kept Pantera for sure. Tempting...but....emotional Impulse buys have to be way cheaper than that now a days considering it would only get used maybe once or twice a year.

I had one briefly but My Golden uMax was so much hotter I just turned around and resold it. Maybe it was not a hot one as barley hit a dime at 6" tops?

I had 2 of them. Definitely not a 'depth demon'. Had to be super tuned,meaning running a higher than normal threshold in the all metal mode and then switching to discriminate mode. I found my first shield nickel with one.

why not? - its always good to take down someone swinging the latest & greatest with an old tech unit

its seems to readjust the balance and disc of the user
