Vehicle Description
This 1973 DeTomaso Pantera is located in Bradenton,FL and offered
by a classic car dealer. When is the last time you have seen one of
these rare Supercars for sale anywhere? Alejandro De Tomaso, who
produced the Mangusta Coupe, commissioned Lamborghini designer
Gianpaolo Dallara to produce the chassis for a Ford/Mercury Motor
Company project, the mid-engine supercar by the name of
Pantera.Ford Motor Company became DeTomaso's partner for the
introduction of this car series in 1971. Like the earlier Mangusta,
the Pantera relied on a Ford V8 power plant backed by a ZF 5-speed
trans-axle. Pantera was distributed through select Lincoln-Mercury
dealerships in the USA until 1974, and ours has been modified to
make it a very fast street and track car. Features 1973 DeTomaso

The built 351 cubic inch engine in this Pantera is a Cleveland Ford
V8 that produced 266 horsepower and 301 lb-ft of torque with single
4-barrel carburetor when new, but now has over 450 horsepower and
we have a dyno sheet that show it plants 390 of those horses at the
rear wheel. It has been rebuilt with aluminum heads, finned
aluminum valve covers, K&N air filter system, performance
Holley carb, aluminum intake, and a ZF 5-speed manual transmission.
This supercar is better looking and more powerful than new and has
been modified into a track car as well as a super street car with a
lowered independent unequal length A-arm suspension with front and
rear anti-sway bars that works with rack-and-pinion steering for
supercar-level road control. The Pantera rolls on fat super wide
black sidewall radial performance tires mounted on custom wheels
made in Australia and has other mods such as a custom built
radiator with dual cooling fans, dual fuel tanks with the stock one
and a racing fuel cell up front, and racing triple safety harnesses
inside the cockpit. Interior Our exotic Pantera offers an interior
just as worthy of praise as does the engine and exterior. It
consists of twin bucket seats with aromatic and supple leather
upholstery and tweed inserts. The dash is angular and has large
clusters of gauges front and center with auxiliary gauges on the
center stack cleverly angled towards the driver. It has A/C but the
Sandison air compressor on the car has been disconnected and a
spare one goes with the sale. The 5-speed gearbox looks great with
the Ferrari-like polished gate and electric windows add luxury to
the '70s-perfect interior. A 200 MPH speedometer and tachometer are
ready to gauge 6-second 0-60 MPH launches and the Pantera's over
175 MPH top speed. This rare supercar can literally be driven every
day in comfort without issues and it will really impress everyone
in attendance at the track. Exterior This American-market Pan
