Call it third times a charm since this is my third P71, and my fourth Panther overall.

After selling the 2001 P71, I wanted a 2004 due to the factory HP rating, Marauder airbox, and last year of drive-by-cable TB.

Picked up this near mint 2004 SAP in FL. The small dealership thinks it was a supervisor's car at Cape Canaveral.

Color is a unique Spruce Green Metallic (FS) with Medium Parchment (YH) interior.

No exterior holes, strobe holes, or permanent-mounted lighting.

It rides and drives night and day differently from my prior P71s. Suspension is smooth and tight, and acceleration is fantastic.

After two prior P71s with black grilles, bumper strips, and rear fascias and tail lamps, the chrome trim is a nice change and will remain.

Nice car! I like that color as well. You reminded me of when in 1994 or 95 I got issued a brandy new black Interceptor and when I went to get get my radio installed the guy climbs up and is just about to drill a hole right smack dab in the middle of the roof and I went nuclear. I told him Uncle Sam could spend the extra $5 for bolt-on trunklid mounts becasue when that vehicle eventually went for auction it would go for a higher price than one with a hole right in the middle of the roof. I figured the $5 I spent up front was more than recovered at the other end.

Congrats on your find. I thought all CVPIs, MMs, LTCs, and GMs went to yellow coolant. Anyway, Enjoy your new ride.
