Vehicle Description
This 1972 Pantera Pre-L is powered by a Ford 351 cu in (5.8 L) V8
engine producing a 330 HP. A gated manual 5 speed ZF transaxle is
mated to the 351 and allows the Pantera to reach 60 MPH in just 5.5
Seconds. The recently serviced Power-assisted four-wheel disc
brakes and fresh rack and pinion steering were all standard
equipment as well. Newly completed $5000 heavy duty cooling system
service has just been completed on this car with all new system
including aluminum radiator fans and hoses. The black vinyl
interior with red piping and Pantera logo floormats is in beautiful
shape. Newer JVC stereo cassette radio with door speakers. Very
nice removable carpeted trunk treatment in great shape. Very nice
red exterior paint with blackout treatment done on the chrome trim.
Pantera values have been steadily rising and with 61,000 original
miles, this superb example will not last long. One of the more
eclectic creations of the 1970s, the DeTomaso Pantera is a blend of
Italian design with American muscle. And yet, it has remained an
often overlooked classic. But with values now rising, DeTomasos are
quickly becoming hot property in the classic car market. The car
pictured is known as a desirable "pre-L", or pre-facelift. The
pre-facelift cars had more aesthetically pleasing small bumpers, as
opposed to the facelifted car's large rubber bumpers. The Pantera
was originally designed by the Italian design firm Ghia by
American-born designer Tom Tjaarda. The Pantera is a steel unibody
design, the first instance of De Tomaso using this construction
technique. An interesting point is the Pantera logo included a
version of Argentina's flag turned on its side with a T-shaped
symbol that was the brand used by De Tomaso's Argentinian cattle
ranching ancestors. Only 2061 were made in 1972. Go to our website
