Kind of confused here.
George Stauffer imported the 80's Pantera's, to my best knowledge.
He also had a black Pantera GTS factory race car.

I must be wrong though?
Merry Christmas,

Stauffer wasn't exclusive to the imports. Chrysler imported 12 using Shelby as the official importer.
One had the 318 put in it as a feasibility study. I think Shelby himself had three. Others have turned up in Europe.

Kirk Evans imported them also as rolling chassis. They were titled as Amerisport's and those were Federalized with cats and the like. I don't know how many there were of those.

They still show up today. Most that I have seen for sale wound up in Canada.

They are all of the wrinkled leather interior type, single dash pod. Some with Australian Clevelands. Some with 351 Windsors.

They also have the later "boxed in" rear upright designs.

As best as I can remember, his cars all came in ready to sell.
I actually received a Christmas card today from him.
Should be chatting with him in the near future, will ask about how they were delivered.
Merry Christmas
Is this the first futuristic exotic in the world?
Size of an ac cobra, but built in 1935 !

He, who? Stauffer? As I remember, grey market cars. Could never get through California emissions. Still can't.

Truly do not know anything about Ca emissions.
I do know that he imported them, and as I recall, more than a few?
I do believe they did have the wrinkled leather type upholstery.
Merry Christmas,
