1974 DeTomaso Pantera - 3,427 Miles, Among The Best Preserved
Panteras In Existence, Window Sticker
Born from Alejandro De Tomaso's vision of combining exotic Italian
styling with proven American V-8 power, the Pantera became one of
the most exciting and usable supercars of the 1970s. Penned by Tom
Tjaarda at Ghia, the Pantera's dramatic wedge-shaped design,
aggressive stance and unmistakable mid-engine proportions made it
an instant icon, while Ford's dependable 351 Cleveland V-8
delivered the kind of performance to rival Europe's finest exotics
at a fraction of the cost.
This 1974 DeTomaso Pantera represents an extraordinary opportunity
to acquire what is truly one of the finest preserved original
examples in existence. Showing just 3,427 original miles from new,
this remarkable Pantera is the kind of preservation-grade example
that simply cannot be duplicated. Finished in its striking factory
orange paint over original black leatherette upholstery, the car
presents as a true time capsule, retaining the kind of authenticity
collectors search years to find.
Power comes from its numbers-matching 351ci 4V Ford V-8 engine,
paired to the highly desirable ZF 5-speed manual transaxle,
delivering the raw, visceral driving experience that made the
Pantera legendary. Further underscoring its exceptional
originality, this example still rides the Campagnolo magnesium
wheels wrapped in its original Goodyear Arriva tire, an incredibly
rare detail seldom seen on any vintage performance car, let alone a
Pantera.
Sold new through Vin Devers Inc. in Toledo, Ohio, this
U.S.-specification example remains accompanied by its window
sticker, tools, owner's manual and additional documentation, adding
further credibility to its remarkable provenance.
For the serious collector seeking a true preservation-class exotic,
this is the type of car that stands in a category of its own, an
exceptionally original, ultra-low-mileage Pantera that represents
the very essence of what discerning enthusiasts and collectors
desire.
