The Pantera is one of those cars that everyone stares at a little too long when it pulls into a parking lot. It’s stunning design is hard to ignore. The cars are an American-Italian hybrid. They were born when Ford and Alejandro DeTomaso grouped up. DeTomaso was located in Italy and Ford decided to have their cars built in his facility. 6,128 Panteras were produced between 1971 and 1973. The example at hand is said to have just 32k miles and is listed on craigslist in Roseville, California for $105,000. Thanks to Tony Primo for the tip!

The car is finished in red and is in pristine condition. Limited information is available on the history of the car but it’s safe to assume it is the original paint. The factory wheels also present very well. These cars are impossible to hate they’re so unique and interesting all around.

There are no images of the interior in the ad, unfortunately. If the interior is original it is likely finished in black throughout with a gated shifter in between the seats and Pantera floor mats. These cars are spacious and have all the bits and bobs you need with nothing you don’t.

A 5.8L  Ford 351 Cleveland V8 sends power to the wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine has allegedly been modified to produce 420 horsepower. The engine from the factory produces 264 horsepower. The work done has not been disclosed by the seller. The images of the engine bay present very clean. I would highly recommend calling the seller for more information. Having said that, this example appears to be in pristine condition. Panteras are hard to come by, and running examples are even harder. This example may need some work in the cabin if it isn’t in good condition but based on the price and mileage its safe to assume it’s in good shape. If you’re interested in calling this 1972 De Tomaso Pantera yours, contact the seller on craigslist.
