Exterior and Interior
The DeTomaso Pantera design was nothing short of iconic; the curves and features make for bedroom poster material and still turn heads to this day. This 1985 DeTomaso Pantera GT5 is finished in a unique Medium Garnett red with the current owner reporting that the car was repainted. To go the extra mile the owner also reports that the exterior is protected with a ceramic coating. In terms of shoes, this '80s hero sits on a set of Gotty wheels, adding to the period charm and character. While this 1985 De Tomaso Pantera GT5 is a sports car from the '80s, the tan leather interior can be a comfortable place to savor a weekend drive. The cabin features leather and wood trim and even features an aftermarket stereo to pump out some synthpop when on the go.
Engine
While it may look and sound Italian, the DeTomaso Pantera's heart was all American. You could say that it's the perfect symphony of Italian design and old-school American V8 performance. Make your way to the rear of this 1985 De Tomaso Pantera GT5 and you'll find a stroked 351ci Ford Cleveland V8 motor that was swapped in 1989 for more performance. In terms of power delivery, this mid-mounted performance powerhouse channels all its performance to the car's rear wheels through a 5-speed gated manual transmission, boosting your drive feel.
The 1971 De Tomaso Pantera was already an unusual machine when new, combining Italian mid-engine styling with American V8 muscle, but this example takes that formula much further. Showing 30,582 miles, this Pantera has been extensively updated and refurbished while retaining the 351ci Cleveland V8 and 5-speed manual transaxle layout that defines the model. According to the seller, virtually every major area of the car has been addressed apart from the ZF transaxle, which is reported to function well. Finished in Concours Red over a custom White leather interior, the car features an all-steel body with flared fenders, ground effects, brake-cooling ducts, shaved door handles, modified headlight buckets, Group 4 tail lights, and a relocated fuel door. Underneath, the build extends to Koni suspension components, upgraded braking hardware, stainless cooling components, and a thoroughly reworked Cleveland V8. This is less a lightly modified Pantera and more a comprehensive enthusiast build centered on preserving the model’s raw character while sharpening nearly every part of the experience.
If you grew up as a petrolhead, then you no doubt dreamt of certain machines. Likely, the next best alternative to owning an exotic machine from your childhood was a poster on the wall and a whole lot of manifestation. Well, presented here is the stuff of countless childhood dreams, and it comes in the shape of this 1972 DeTomaso Pantera. This Italian powerhouse is a true automotive icon and even comes with all its receipts and invoices back to the ’80s.
