The Panther that did the 131 mph was the only one of the 4 with standard shift and OD, and only two were supercharged. There are plenty of pictures and data on the 4 Panthers in an old volume of PAC's The Packard Cormorant ,Spring 1984 issue, article by Leon Dixon. The article is profusely illustrated and detailed, about 12 pages. At the risk of violating copyright, here's a small excerpt from that article with the details on the 4 cars, as of 1984. For those that have more interest, back issues of many of PAC's publications are still available.

The car was originally to be called the Gray Wolf II.
