Pretty sure Panther made a brief come back around 2000 before being phased out.
Looks like a nice ride. Any plans for it?
Very Nice, my dream car is a VT II GTS.
Very nice car mate
Nice car Macca. Hate to tell you but this is Phantom Mica not Panther
Welcome to the club.
Hey Guys,
Thanks for your comments, it is probably Phantom Mica, just got mixed up as my old ute was panther mica, haha.
Am absolutely loving it so much more fun to drive and feels like a lot tighter car than my VE sportwagon i just got rid of and the GTS is 16yo lol.
Plans for it in the future are very minimal atm, will get a tune pretty soon and some nitto invo tyres, but here are a few bigger ones down the track:
- Exhaust, standard is better than most nice and deep but just not enough burble for me
- Stereo upgrade as im a big music man
- Maybe a slight lower only in the front rear sits spot on, but def dont want to loose the cars handling characteristics
- Baby Cam, lifters and springs
- Maybe an OTR but from what ive heard the GTS setup is pretty damn good stock
Cheers

What's the paint code? If it's 609F/KO25 it's Phantom which is more than likely
Will have to wait to get the car back from the mechanic, during the roadworthy they found the rear donut was shagged, and the center bearing, and the diff pinion seal was leaking so failed, so now its in getting all fixed up ready to play.
Cheers
