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.
Exterior and Interior
Conceived under the visionary eye of American-born maestro Tom Tjaarda, the De Tomaso Pantera made its debut in Modena. The subject car, adorned in a red exterior with contrasting white racing stripes, reportedly underwent a meticulous re-paint. Featuring upgraded bumpers, the sale includes the original ones, preserving authenticity. Riding on red Campagnolo GT5 wheels shod with original Pirelli P7 tires, this Pantera commands attention. As it passes by, the upgraded stainless steel exhaust system with 4:1 ceramic headers announces its presence. Inside, the three-spoke sports leather wrapped steering wheel with the De Tomaso logo, alongside the gated shifter, beckons you to seize control. Carpets bearing the De Tomaso insignia and exquisite wood accents on the dash and center console create an ambiance of refined elegance. The power door locks, opened with two keys included in the sale, add a touch of convenience.
Engine
Beneath the hood, the 1986 De Tomaso Pantera GT5-S flexes its muscles with a robust 351ci Ford Cleveland V8 from the Ford lineage, unleashing approximately 290 horses. Mated to a ZF gated 5-speed manual gearbox, it propels this Pantera from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 5.5 seconds. The sale includes the original shock absorbers, and the current owner attests to the originality of both the motor and transmission.
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.
