Selling or Buying a 1978 De Tomaso Pantera?

Presented at the New York Auto Show in 1970, the De Tomaso Pantera was a very attractive new sports car, featuring great looks and thrilling driving experience. The model was particularly successful because it was available at a much more affordable price than competitor Italian models such as Ferraris and Maseratis. Powered by a 5.7-liter V8 engine, the unit was matted to a 5-speed ZF transmission. The 1978 De Tomaso Pantera had good weight distribution and provided fine handling. Penned by American designer Tom Tjaarda at Ghia, the chassis used a steel monocoque construction technique and the body featured a low profile and sharp lines. The interior was more spacious than the previous De Tomaso modelthe Mangustaand offered a more complete equipment including air conditioning to satisfy the American market needs.
