Description
1972 De Tomaso Pantera – 351ci Cleveland V8, ZF 5-Speed, Chrome Campagnolo Wheels, Deluxe Marti Report
This 1972 De Tomaso Pantera presents a striking blend of Italian design and American muscle, powered by a 351ci Cleveland V8 paired with a five-speed ZF manual transaxle. Originally developed as a mid-engine exotic with everyday usability, the Pantera quickly became one of the most desirable and unique sports cars of the era.
This example benefits from desirable “Boss Quench” cylinder heads and has been fitted with an upgraded aluminum radiator and electric cooling fans for enhanced performance and reliability. Finished in a vivid yellow over a black interior, the car was previously repainted and retains a clean, aggressive look that accentuates the Pantera’s sharp lines and low-slung stance.
Chrome Campagnolo wheels add to the car’s period-correct flair while improving its visual impact. Inside, the cabin remains faithful to its original character with a functional layout and classic Italian sports car feel. The five-speed ZF gearbox delivers crisp engagement and is renowned for its durability, making the driving experience both visceral and refined.
Offered with a Deluxe Marti Report, this Pantera is supported by documentation that confirms its production details and adds confidence to its provenance. With just 51,000 miles and two owners from new, it’s a well-preserved example of one of the most iconic Italo-American hybrids ever produced.
