The Pantera, introduced in the early 1970s, was a collaboration between Italian design house Ghia and American car manufacturer Ford. It combined Italian styling with the power of an American V8 engine, resulting in a car that was not only beautiful but also fast and less expensive than any Ferrari. With its sleek lines, low… Read More Estate sale: 1971 De Tomaso Pantera
It is an Italian with an American heart, and perhaps this is why it was very successful in the USA, much more than other supercars produced in the same period. After all, having an engine full of torque, power and cheap to run like the Ford 351 was not a bad advantage, especially when compared… Read More Bare metal: 1972 De Tomaso Pantera L
What we have here is a high concentration of felines, different in both color and state of maintenance and all of them, we guess, need work to get back on the road. There are three Pantera available: the most aggressive has the fenders borrowed from the Pantera who ran in Group 4, is said to… Read More Herd of felines: 1971/1972 De Tomaso Pantera
A few days ago we said that lately there is a shortage of interesting classic cars (by our standards) for sale: we confirm this, but luckily there is still something around. Indeed, this car is extremely interesting for two reasons: the first is that it is a Vallelunga, one of the rarest cars produced by… Read More Spotted green: 1967 De Tomaso Vallelunga
Many of the De Tomaso Pantera that you find for sale are the base model which in the USA was called “L”, then there is also the GTS model like this one, much rarer and much more expensive than the first. But the GTS was not one for all markets: that for the American market… Read More Euro specs: 1972 De Tomaso Pantera GTS
What is sought in a classic car is, in addition to beauty and rarity, its compliance with the original production specifications: this Mangista should satisfy all three of these requirements. It appears that this Mangusta has been kept in a garage during the last 35 years, and has seen the light again only a few… Read More Gone in 35 Years: 1970 De Tomaso Mangusta
It is certainly one of the most beautiful Pantera we have ever seen, for just two – but important – reasons. The first is obvious and concerns the color: we cannot remember the last time we saw a Pantera painted in silver; we have probably never seen one before and this is the first, and… Read More Wonderfully preserved: 1973 De Tomaso Pantera L
No, I didn’t go crazy for publishing this car, rather I’m nostalgic because as a child I was often in the passenger seat of a car like this (a white one, though). The car in question was most likely imported from Italy and placed before being put back on sale. It looks very nice although… Read More Red shift: 1985 Innocenti Mini De Tomaso Turbo
Few Mangusta were produced – about 400 – and obviously a lot less survive: this is a representative of those survived, unknown until today. Unknown since it seems that this de Tomaso has been locked in a garage since 1976, obviously the only reason that comes to mind is that at the time the car… Read More Rest in pieces/3: 1970 De Tomaso Mangusta
We have to admit that, although it is not the first time I see a De Tomaso Deauville, I have only now noticed an interesting detail. The detail in question concerns the opening of the engine hood: if you look at the photos posted by the seller, you will find that the bonnet, hinged at… Read More Tilting bumper: 1972 De Tomaso Deauville
