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
We have seen many De Tomaso Pantera for sale in recent years, but never so black as this one. The reason is certainly because this is a newly restored car but not enough: black is the most difficult color to apply on a body (ask any coachbuilder) because the black color also highlights the smallest… Read More Pitch-black: 1972 De Tomaso Pantera
Nature is varied and in fact, even among the big cats, there are albino ones, exactly like this Pantera. White on the outside and black on the inside: a combination not really common as many of these cars were ordered in bold colors (as if the car itself did not look sufficiently aggressive) and in… Read More Black and white: 1971 De Tomaso Pantera
I know what you are thinking: why change a Pantera GTS in this way? Well, this car is the first GTS built and has been modified by De Tomaso factory itself. Obviously we are reporting what the seller writes: this is the first Pantera GTS built (chassis #7427) and as proof of this the seller… Read More Number one: 1975 De Tomaso Pantera GTS
