The Panther Lima was a family of sports cars that was introduced in 1976. The Lima was built in a two door, open top body style, and was powered by a 2.3L inline four that was available in naturally aspirated or turbocharged versions. These engines sent their power through manual or automatic transmissions to the rear wheels. The Lima was mechanically based on the Vauxhall Magnum, and was in production until 1982, with a total of 897 examples made.
