1985 De Tomaso Pantera GT5

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.

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.

What do you get when you combine European flair and all-American power? Well, none other than the Pantera by the De Tomaso Modena. De Tomaso, initially founded in 1959, was into the production of sports prototypes and auto car racing. Their success with the Vallelunga and the Mangusta prompted Ford to acquire 84% of the company and thus the birth of the De Tomaso Pantera in 1971. The Pantera was praised for its exceptional performance and sleek design. During the Pantera's production years, Gary Hall, renowned De Tomaso Pantera enthusiast and restorer, was offering a modified and enhanced De Tomaso Pateras; his work involved the production of 33 Gary Hall Super Panteras, of which this specimen is no 18. A rare chance to own a highly sought-after Pantera is at hand with this 1973 18 of 33 De Tomaso Gary Hall Super Pantera bearing 20,300 miles on the odometer.

The De Tomaso Pantera, a captivating Italian sports car that roared from 1971 to 1992, encapsulates the very essence of automotive allure. Translating to "Panther" in Italian, this mid-engine marvel stood as De Tomaso's pièce de résistance, with over 7,000 units gracing the roads during its two-decade reign. Amidst the subdued hum of classic Ferraris and the unheralded Lamborghini Countach, the De Tomaso Pantera GT5-S emerges as a rarity among rarities, gracing the asphalt with a mere 182 counterparts. Fusing sleek Italian design with a Ford powerhouse, the GT5-S doesn't merely satiate your appetite for muscle; it serves it with a side of flamboyant flair. This stunning 1986 De Tomaso Pantera GT5-S, with just over 13,100 miles on its clock, stands as a testament to this automotive masterpiece.

An Italian-American confluence, the De Tomaso Pantera was the brainchild of Alejandro De Tomaso. An Argentinian by birth, he founded De Tomaso Automobili and started knocking out some awe-inspiring sports cars that are collectibles today. The Pantera, Italian for panther, is arguably the most famous De Tomaso. Over 7,000 were produced between 1971 and 1992, and three-quarters ended up in the United States. This 1985 De Tomaso Pantera GT5 is your chance to own one of these beautiful brutes that will keep you entertained no matter what kind of drive you choose to take in it. It's for sale by its original owner too.

The Mercedes-Benz SL has enjoyed a distinguished place in automotive history, and the R107 generation remains one of the most celebrated luxury roadsters to emerge from Stuttgart. Produced from 1971 through 1989, the R107 became synonymous with sophisticated open-top motoring, exceptional engineering, and the understated elegance that defined Mercedes-Benz during the era. Introduced for the 1986 model year, the 560 SL became the flagship American-market version of the R107, bringing a larger 5.6-liter V8 and further refinements to an already accomplished grand tourer. This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL, showing 65,981 miles, is finished in Arctic White over a Palomino leather interior, complemented by a contrasting Dark Brown convertible soft top. Its factory specification is particularly appealing, featuring a rear spoiler delete that preserves the roadster's clean, classic proportions. Additional highlights include a removable body-color hardtop, 15-inch Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels, automatic climate control, heated exterior mirrors, and a Pioneer audio head unit replacing the original Becker radio. With its elegant color combination, naturally aspirated V8, and timeless R107 styling, this 560 SL offers an inviting opportunity to experience one of Mercedes-Benz's most enduring grand touring roadsters.

The Lincoln Mark VII LSC brought an unexpected dose of performance to the American luxury coupe market during the 1980s, combining the comfort and refinement expected of Lincoln with the same 5.0-liter High Output V8 that powered Ford's celebrated Mustang GT. By 1990, the Mark VII had established itself as a distinctive alternative to European grand touring coupes, offering rear-wheel drive, four-wheel air suspension, and a remarkably well-appointed interior. This 1990 Lincoln Mark VII LSC Special Edition, showing just 47,063 miles, is finished in Garnet Red over Titanium Gray leather and belongs to a particularly limited production group. Reportedly only 3,345 LSC Special Edition examples were produced for 1990, with just 442 sharing this particular paint and trim combination. Its Special Edition appointments, monochromatic exterior styling, distinctive lace-style aluminum wheels, and powerful 5.0-liter V8 make it an appealing example of Lincoln's performance-oriented luxury flagship. With its distinctive specification, low indicated mileage, and documented production figures reported by the seller, this Mark VII deserves attention from collectors and enthusiasts of American luxury automobiles.

The fourth-generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Am arrived during an exciting period for American performance cars, when powerful naturally aspirated V8 engines, rear-wheel drive, and manual transmissions still defined the muscle car experience. By 1997, Pontiac had refined the Trans Am into a formidable competitor, combining the proven 5.7-liter LT1 V8 with distinctive aerodynamic styling and impressive handling capabilities. This 1997 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, showing just 31,092 miles, is finished in Black over a Taupe interior and features the desirable BorgWarner T56 six-speed manual transmission. Its aggressive appearance is highlighted by a Ram Air-style hood with dual scoops, removable glass T-tops, and aftermarket wheels that complement its low-slung profile. The interior has also received several upgrades, including an aftermarket sound system, subwoofer, and JVC touchscreen multimedia receiver with Apple CarPlay connectivity. Combining low indicated mileage, traditional V8 performance, and an engaging manual gearbox, this Trans Am captures the unmistakable character of Pontiac's celebrated 1990s muscle cars.
