Vehicle Description

 

1971 Detomaso Pantera push button early prototype serial number #1006 engine # 1004 listed in the Pantera registry as  the earliest documented Pantera in history.   This is the 6th Pantera ever built with the 4th engine ever put in a Pantera. It is believed to be the first complete Pantera ever sold and delivered to a retail customer. Original engine and ZF TRANSMISSION.Pantera number 1,  2 and 3 were built as prototype body’s only with no engine for show use only and are believed to be non existent ~destroyed. Car number 4 and 5 were believed to be  sound and crash tested so this car number 1006 is believed to be the first complete car ever shown and sold in Italy and then later shipped to the USA. No earlier Pantera has ever been seen or shown to date. This Pantera has many prototype options never seen on any other production car. 3 piece front grill. Rear deck Hatch release in door jamb like early Ferrari, hand hammered firewall, original steering wheel and seats  not on any other Pantera same for Detomaso emblem on the dash, THIS IS THE ONLY PANTERA WITH 2 HEADLIGHT SWITCHES IN THE DASH one that raise and lower the headlights and the other to turn on and off. I am the owner of this vehicle since 1990 over 32 years. The last time this vehicle was driven was 1996. After that the car was sent in to have the Motor professionally  “ Pickled” and delivered to my garage where it has been parked.  I have all the documentation since delivery date back in Italy to date, every owner. I have the original delivery book - registration in Italian hand filled out to the first owner... It has never been shown or advertised. Very few people even know of it’s existence.This is the first time it is ever been offered for sale by me. This vehicle is a piece of history in many facets. automobile history, Italian cars, Detomaso, Pantera history. This car belongs in a museum or someone who wants it for their collection. This car also has a very interesting original owner history which I can discuss with potential serious buyers. Please No trades or time wasters this is a very rare once in a lifetime offering. Taking offers over $150,000. Just for some recent info the first EV Hummer was recently sold for 2.5 million and the first Bronco brought over 1 million both sold at the recent Barrett Jackson auction
