This truly amazing 1973 De Tomaso Pantera comes in a clean orange paint job complemented by a clean black interior. Powering this car is a 351 Ford V8 engine paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. Features include factory air conditioning, AM/FM radio, factory chrome exhaust, factory seatbelts, factory shifter, correct factory interior and Goodyear Arriva tires (C60V15 up front and H60v15 in the rear). This stunning Pantera is presented with 10,628 miles and same owner since 1975. The Pantera was designed by the Italian firm Ghia's American-born designer Tom Tjaarda.

Unlike the Mangusta, which employed a steel backbone chassis, the Pantera's chassis was of a steel monocoque design, the first instance of De Tomaso using this construction technique. The Pantera logo included a T-shaped symbol, the brand used by De Tomaso's Argentinian cattle-ranching ancestors, as well as a version of the Argentinean flag turned on its side, inspired by the company's founder, Alejandro De Tomaso, who was born and raised in Argentina. The De Tomaso Pantera is a mid-engine sports car produced by Italian automobile manufacturer De Tomaso from 1971 to 1992.

Italian for 'Panther,' the Pantera was the automaker's most popular model, with over 7,000 manufactured over its 20-year production run. More than three-quarters of the production was sold by American Lincoln-Mercury dealers from 1972 to 1975; after this agreement ended, De Tomaso kept manufacturing the car in ever smaller numbers into the early 1990s.
