Vehicle Description
The 1972 model year Pantera's had Several modifications over the
previous year. A new 4 Bolt Main Cleveland Engine, also 351cuin,
was used with lower compression ratio (from 11:1 to 8.6:1, to meet
US emissions standards and run on lower octane standard fuel) but
with the more aggressive Cobra Jet camshaft (featuring the same
lift and duration as the 428 Cobra Jet's factory performance cam)
in an effort to reclaim some power lost through the reduction in
compression along with a dual point distributor. Many other engine
changes were made, including the use of a factory exhaust
header.The Lusso (luxury) Pantera L was also introduced, in August
1972 as a 1972 model. For the US market it featured a large black
single front bumper that incorporated a built-in airfoil to reduce
front end lift at high speeds, rather than the separate bumperettes
still used abroad, as well as a 266Net hp Cleveland engine. The L
model featured many factory upgrades and updates that fixed most of
the problems and issues the earlier cars experienced. It was so
improved that the 1973 DeTomaso Pantera was Road Test Magazines
Import car of the year beating Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, and
Porsche.Details:1 of Only 1,258 MadeMarti Report IncludedBuilt as
