For Sale: 1972 De Tomaso Pantera in Fredericksburg, Texas

Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 26th year in the classic and muscle car business. Here's one you don't see every day. The de Tomaso Pantera was the first attempt by a major American manufacturer to blend sexy Italian styling with a reliable yet muscular American V8. Designed by the legendary Italian firm Carrozzeria Ghia, the Pantera was penned by American-born Tom Tjaarda. The gorgeous low-slung coupe was first seen here at the 1970 New York Auto Show, sales began in 1971, and the rest is history. Our mean green 1972 Pantera is sporting a freshly rebuilt engine that accentuates the strong performance these beauties were known for. Beneath the rear decklid lurks a stout, numbers matching (03077) and fully balanced 351C V8 that's been JetCleaned, decked, bored, and honed, then fortified with new forged pistons, a Crane hydraulic roller camshaft, an aluminum intake manifold, a Holley carburetor, factory headers, and a MSD ignition with billet distributor. Broken in but not driven much, this beast spun the dyno to the tune of 461 bhp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Additional features include a fully independent double wishbone suspension with coilovers, highly desirable early small bumpers, rack and pinion steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, power windows, air conditioning, a ZF 5-speed manual transaxle with 4.22 Posi differential, front and rear stabilizer bars, an AM/FM/Cassette stereo, full instrumentation, and fresh tires (205/60R15 F, 295/50R15 R) wrapped around original Campagnolo alloy wheels recently refurbished by Wheels America. With 130 bhp more than stock and fresh oversize radial tires, this Italian road missile is an absolute thrill ride. Also, as one of only 2131 produced, this jewel is likely to continue appreciating. Another amazing unicorn from the team that can make your dream a reality. G-suit and helmet not included.
