Panoz For Sale Thread

[PanozGTLM]

It sold for $13,100.00 In my opinoin the front suspension looked like a simple fix it was the rear suspension the scared me away.

"Only one of 275 produced"? Where do these people come up with these numbers? The car was "1 of 176 produced". You would think that someone who owns one of these rare gems would at least know the extent of their history and pedigree? But seeing that this particular unit hasn't been just simply "used" but rather blatantly "abused" seems to be rather indicative that the owner simply cares nothing of its originality, exclusiveness or worth so why should he care about the minor detail of its storied birth?

I will say though that he is WAAAAAAY low on his repair estimate of $2500.00 - $3K for the parts, not to even mention labor and paint. And even if it could be repaired to a decent and drivable condition, you'd still have a "repaired" AIV with a "salvaged" title.

Also, he claims that the damage is on the left front and left rear but I would be curious as to what that liquid is "splattered" all over the trunk area. The trunk area is where the battery, fuel tank and fuel filter are all located but each are pretty well isolated from any left side impact damage.

AIV w/Salvage title on Ebay

I wonder what the real cost to repair it would be???

Also this Car has an Auto Transmission i believe that is why it has been for sale so long..

[PanozGTLM]

The car on Ebay is a GT model with upgrades not a GTLM The GT model does come with the body kit of the GTLM no factory Super Charger and different seats.

Also I believe that the Classic/GT comes with 17" wheels and the GTLM has 18's.

Black Esperante For Sale

The JRD supercharged Esperante I'm referring to is here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

What East Coast GTLM are you referring to?

From the description, it appears the Esperante in the Ebay ad is as a naturally aspirated Classic with GT bumpers added by the factory and a Kenne Bell supercharger added by JRD. The GTLM from the factory has, along with other upgrades and add-ons, a SVT supercharger.

If your talking about the Black adn Tan one offered on the east coast. Very nice looking low mile GTLM. The suprechargers have proven very reliable. It may shorten the total life of the engine rebuild time from mid six fiquares to under 100,000 miles; but these cars are ment to last a very long time.

I'm interested in purchasing the black supercharged eBay Esperante (#250768116006), but would appreciate some guidance from you folks. Does the supercharged version of the Esperante have any driveability or reliability issues? I have several classic cars which always need a little tinkering (that's Ok), but I'm getting to the point where I don't want to deal with exotic car repair issues or a car that is hard to drive on an everyday basis. Maybe I should stay away from the supercharged version....? Thanks, Wil

As far as a supercharged application goes, it's hard to get more "non-exotic" than standard Ford supercharged modular engine. These have been quite reliable in Mustang Cobras. Don't be disappointed that it's not an exotic. It's a good engine, capable of a lot of power if you want to modify it further and it can be serviced at any Ford dealer that works on Mustang Cobras.
