Hi,
I purchased my 2001 Esperante in Dec 2001, car #62. Currently has 20k miles on it. Love the car and several people at car shows have told me it the most beautiful car in the show. I still feel that way when I open the garage and take the cover off it.

I'm an old Ford guy from way back, in the late 60's I was a Ford line mechanic. Have restored a few mid-60's Mustangs over the years, currently working on a ground up restoration of a '66 coupe. Now negotiating with Tubular Fabrication for a roll bar for the Panoz so I can use it for track days at Willow Springs.

Glad to have found you guys,
Larry

Welcome!! Great to hear from an original owner. Let us know how the roll bar works for you. We are all interested in modifications you do on your car as well as where you buy the hard to find parts.

Hi Larry -

I've had my blue 2001 #16 in Huntington Beach for 10 years - still LOVE IT! - over 44,000 miles and looks great. Have a buddy here with an Esperante, a GT and an AIV - we need a SoCal owners club.
