Enjoy the feel of the open road in this unique and collectable American open Roadster. Wanting the feel of an open roadster with the reliability of a modern powertrain, Panoz merged designs of old and new. Acquiring the rights for an Irish designed sportscar called TMC Costin, Panoz had a new body designed that is not only light but strong as well. The genius came when the lightweight body was hand-crafted on a stainless-steel tube chassis then equipped with reliable Ford 5.0 liter V8, Ford running gear, electronics and 5 speed manual transmission. This created the uniquely American open Roadster that can be maintained and serviced at any Ford dealer or authorized service center.
Lucky number 13 of 44, this car was built for its creator Dan Panoz, who used this vehicle for personal and promotional uses early on. This consignment sale is offered by the current and second owner of this rare low milage car. Attached is a letter from September 2017 to the current owner from Dan Panoz stating, “The vehicle is in remarkable original condition. Virtually all parts and components are the original OE components except for the oil filter and 1 tail light bezel that was slightly corroded and replaced with NOS component from Panoz LLC.” It goes on to say “With 639 miles on the odometer Panos Roadster 1P9PR2826PB213013 may be the lowest mileage and most original and factory correct 1st series Panoz in existence at this time.”
With less than 700 miles currently on the odometer and a clean CarFax this vehicle is offered for sale through Top-End Motors Inc and by an owner who are both located within 10 miles of where it was manufactured.
