1971 De Tomaso Pantera

This 1971 DeTomaso Pantera combines Italian styling with American V8 performance, creating a distinctive Italian-American sports car that remains instantly recognizable. Finished in red over a black interior, it captures the aggressive character and unique design that made the Pantera stand out in the 1970s. This California car is powered by a 351 CID 4V Ford Cleveland V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transaxle and gated shifter. The Pantera was developed through a collaboration between DeTomaso and Ford, with Ford supplying the V8 engine while DeTomaso handled the chassis and Italian coachwork, creating a unique combination of European design and American performance. The exterior is equipped with retractable pop-up headlights, a rear split bumper, DeTomaso-logo center caps, and 17-inch front and 18-inch rear Campagnolo-style wheels. A dual twin-tip quad exhaust setup complements its aggressive appearance. Four-wheel disc brakes and a 3-spoke MOMO steering wheel further add to its performance-oriented character, while the Demon 4-barrel carburetor helps feed the Ford V8. Inside, the cockpit features Veglia Borletti instrumentation, power windows, rocker switches, and a Panasonic radio. The gated shifter and period-style instrumentation add to the distinctive driving experience that has made the Pantera such an interesting part of 1970s automotive history. This 1971 DeTomaso Pantera presents an opportunity to own a unique Italian-American sports car with its combination of Italian design, Ford V8 power, and 5-speed manual transmission, and is mechanically sound.
