Pantera Oro

By 66 Underachiever
Pantera motor spotted at Belmont Shores car show today.

Thanks for humoring me. This is a test for the mobile blog thing. It finally worked!

Since you're here...this car really had a gold plated drivetrain and lots of trim including custom made bumpers. Believe it or not it looked really cool in a strange way.

Here you go Barbary Buzzard.




Lori got better shot of engine compartment.

    I saw this Pantera, also. The vanity plate read, "PURR ORO."

This place is pretty good. It reminds me of the cafes found in small towns far away from California. The waitress was real nice, the food was good, and lunch was less than $10 including coffee! I'm going to try breakfast next time. Cafe Racer Lunch Counter at Silverado Cafe I was honored to be allowed to drink from Rosemary's pretty cat mug.
