Used De Tomaso Pantera for Sale near Alberta

In 1975 my dad bought this car off the showroom floor for $9,500, and I later sold it on eBay in 2010 after 35 years of family ownership and pure bliss. This was one of only 50 1974 DeTomaso Pantera GTS "American" imported to the USA, although the Euro version same year had more HP and suspension upgrades. The Pantera is exciting to look at, and more fun to drive. We logged 25,000 before selling it. I can remember 155mph trips to Toronto from Buffalo and the top speed hit was about 175MPH, although never fully tested. The Red & Black color still is rare, and inside the Pantera had A/C, a decent radio, but that's was useless when you wanted speed, because you'll go deaf, it's so loud inside, although it's also very exciting at the same time. The general design and build quality was excellent, and the FORD 351 Cleveland in my opinion is one of the best American made engines ever made. Over the years, this car does require a commitment, and costs escalate if you let it go, but having such a rare car is worth it.

American Muscle in an Armani Suit! Tap the throttle at 70 and you blip to 90 before you know it. One of the most fun things about driving the car is the sound it makes Detomaso did not install a radio or side view mirrors on the car for a very good reason... one, unless you buy the big amp for the radio you can't hear it and who wants to. Two, the rear view mirrors.. who cares what is behind you (unless the lights flash). It does have a 200mph speedometer and with my 150 NOS shot it will almost peg it. When I do drive my car I worry about the people around me hanging out of their cars to take pictures of mine... Smile! You don't see that happen when you drive a Vette or a Viper (Well maybe some time it does happen to them too.!) Keeper of #6656
