1977 Panther De Ville. One of only 48 factory handbuilt aluminium bodied sedans , and most probably the lowest miles one in existence. Only 8000 miles since new ! We purchased this vehicle from the estate in CA , where the car sat next to other collector cars for a long time. In fact , it has a oilchange sticker on the windshield , stating to renew oil at 10k miles , in approx 1992 ! Last registered according to sticker on CA tag in 1994. We just had the car gone thru and serviced by a Jaguar specialist here in town , and spent over $1500 making sure she's ready to go mechanically. We just had brand new whitewall tires mounted on her , and only thing left is to re-fill the A.C. This car comes with the optional 12 cyl. Jaguar drivetrain. It's easy to understand why this was the most expensive car built in the UK at the time ; the quality of the build is very impressive. We had it on a lift , and there's zero rust on the car. Paint is original ofcourse , and has some very minor flaws in it from age. The Conolly leather interior looks great and the leather is soft , as the car was always garaged. The wood is beautiful. All in all , a great touring car and a great collectors item as well ! Most probably the ONLY one in the US !!! I have seen two others , but they are in Europe. What is the chance of finding one of only 48 cars built , and then in the more desirable LHD version ? Only at Victory cars..Can ship anywhere on the planet.
