Hi,\r
\r
I do not know who this Larri(with an""i"") guy/gal is in this other review, but he/she is obviously someone who is campaigning to have Pauls Automotive smeared. Why? (I'm guessing here,) because the place is always busy and has a great crew. \r
I am a female that has always loved Italian sports cars (men too). I once saw a Ferrari (308?) at Pauls and knew right away that Pauls Auto had to be good for a Ferrari owner to bring such a car there.\r
My husband and I bought a very used basket case '72 Pantera and took it (towed it) to Pauls. This was going to be MY car so I had to bethe project manager (ha!) When I saw my first Pantera I was around 8 years old and thought it was the coolest car I had ever seen.\r
I had discussed everything with Paul himself before bringing the car to him. He was courteous as all get out and knew a lot about the year make and model. He even kept my 8 year old daughter entertained blowing bubbles for her while I was in the bathroom. \r
To put this car back together was a major undertaking--including rebuilding the orighinal motor (351)which we had slightly modified. He had also addressed some of the original flaws that the car originally came with such as overheating, braking and more. I wanted the outside of the car 100% stock, but he had some room for change in the interior. I was really in awe at how the metal workers in his shop welded, banged out and smoothed body parts. Paul was able to find Pantera items that I thought were impossible to get. The car was finished beautifully even though it took so long. It was worth the wait! Unfortunately, the project went over my estimated budget but he worked with me on that without any hassles. I kept the car for around 3 years before I sold it for 46,500.00 Not bad. Again, let me say that this shop is capable of doing anything you want done and they do it right. If you're a female you should not worry that you will be dealing with a bunch of animals. I'm sure that one day Pauls Auotomotive will have a reality show on TV.\r
