This DeTomaso Pantera commands attention with its striking red paint, a vivid transformation from its original white that was applied in 1985. Designed under Tom Tjaarda's direction, its sleek lines, pop-up headlights, and quad exhaust outlets speak of an era when style and muscle converged with unmistakable flair.
The Pantera rides proudly on 15" Campagnolo cast magnesium wheels wrapped in Pirelli Cinturato tires — a nod to racing heritage — paired with disc brakes at all four corners for confident stopping power. Every inch of this machine reflects a commitment to performance and presence.
Underneath the sculpted hood roars a robust 351ci Ford Cleveland V8, carbureted by a Holley 1850-2 four-barrel, delivering an assertive 310 horsepower. This isn’t just a showpiece; it’s a car built for the driver who craves raw, unfiltered American muscle paired with Mediterranean passion.
Matched to a finely crafted five-speed ZF manual transaxle, this Pantera invites the enthusiast to take command with a gated shifter and dogleg pattern that rewards every precise shift with visceral satisfaction.
Step inside to find Porsche 914–sourced bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl, wrapping you in vintage comfort complemented by air conditioning for those long highway stretches. The original dashboard, center console, and doors continue the tradition of classic design, paired with electric windows and a commanding Veglia instrumentation cluster, including a 200-mph speedometer.
Recommissioned with care, recent maintenance has revitalized the steering, brakes, fuel system, and clutch hydraulics, ensuring this Pantera is ready to carve the open road once more.
This is more than a car- it’s a legacy left from decades of stewardship by its first owner, now ready for the next chapter of freedom, power, and style. Own a piece of automotive history that captures the spirit of American muscle fused with Italian soul.
