To rework the tires on a panther to original condition would cost some big bucks, they could just have recapped them and left out the viberation dampers. I know Littlefield had tires remanufactered for his panther with the dampers molded in them.

My only information is "reconditioned" but what that actually includes I don't know, I'll try to find out more.

Hi all,

The earlier discussion about the Panther II left me wondering something.

What is the difference between a Panther and a Panther II? What makes it special? At one time I probably knew, and I'm sure I'll feel silly for asking once I know again, but I'm really curious.

Thanks,
C

"In late 1942, German designers started the development of more powerful and slightly larger version of Panther mounted on a newly designed chassis"
