Selling or Buying a De Tomaso Pantera?

The Pantera by De Tomaso, was produced from 1971 to 1992. That’s a 22 year run! Why the longevity? There are several reasons why:

Affordable Exotic Appeal: The Pantera offered an Italian designed, mid-engine sports car experience at a fraction of the price of a Ferrari or Lamborghini
Unique Design and Rarity: The Pantera’s wedge-shaped design by Tom Tjaarda is still admired today
Owning a Piece of History: The Pantera was an interesting collaboration between an Italian automaker and an American engine supplier.
Driver’s Car: For those who appreciate a car that prioritizes performance over creature comforts, the Pantera delivers.

However, it’s important to remember that owning a classic car also comes with challenges. Alex Manos is the owner of Beverly Hills Car Club and an expert on the Pantera and many other classic cars. Straight from the mouth of a collector and active buyer, here is some advice about Detomaso Pantera for sale.

Why is the De Tomaso Pantera So Special?

1972 DeTomaso Pantera interior

The first De Tomaso Pantera was revealed at the New York Auto Show in 1970 and succeeded to the Mangusta model. The Pantera was a mid-engine supercar created for the American market and distributed using the Ford network. The styling was handed to Ghia while the body was supplied by Vignale in Turin and assembled by the De Tomaso factory in Modena. Standard Ford components were used for the engine in order to make it more reliable and the car was fitted by a high-output version of the 5.7-liter V8 linked to a 5-speed ZF transaxle. Horsepower was rated at 330 for the European models, 310 for the American version and down to 250 hp by 1973 due to increasing emissions controls. The Pantera was the top selling model of the brand and stayed in production until 1992.
