Project Car Hell, Fat Bankroll Edition: Stutz or Pantera?

The appeal of a couple of right-hand-drive woody wagons was almost, but not quite, enough to beat out the pair of MGB-GTs plus supercharged Toyota engine in yesterday's Choose Your Eternity poll. However, both of those choices, painful as they were, were on the inexpensive side. How can a project truly be Hell if you can just walk away from it a little poorer and a lot wiser? That's why we're going to look at a couple of "no turning back now" high-ticket machines today. Each is a car that will blow the dial off the Cool-O-Meter, in true Rock Star Excess style... but only if you can scrape up some more cash (out of your now-depleted reserves) to fix it up.

Project Car Hell: One Longchamp or Three Bitters?

We had our second two-thirds majority vote in a row for yesterday's Choose Your Eternity poll, with the Infiniti Q45 using its V8 to pound the V6-powered Mazda 929 into submission. We went Japanese yesterday because it's Japan Week here, and also because we needed to give you a little breather after the terrible punishment of an all-French L'enfer des Projets-Voitures.

De Tomaso Revisited: The Stefan Schulze "Panthera"

3D artist and designer Stefan Schulze did something we wish someone inside an actual car company would — revive the design of the Ford V8-powered De Tomaso Pantera of the 1970s. Once sold at Lincoln-Mercury dealerships, the Pantera — along with the Porsche 930 (911 Turbo) — was the symbol of vehicular sexiness for the unisex-salon-and-coke-spoon generation. Schultze's rendering revisits the Pantera shape as a modern retrospective model built atop the bones of a Lamborghini Gallardo. Lamborghini's already put the kabosh on a production version of the Miura concept. Don't expect the "Panthera" to make it through any automaker's boardroom alive. [via Autoblog.it]

We Really Want a Pantera

For some weird reason, we just suddenly just started suffering from a complete, utter and sheer attack of Pantera-lust, and we're not talking about Phil Anselmo's old band, either. We simply need one, no two ways about it. Please, gracious, well-heeled readers, we will accept delivery at our San Pedro office. We mean, look at the damn thing. Just look at it! More »
