It takes a lot for us to get excited about a car listing online since we look at so many, but this 1974 DeTomaso Pantera admittedly did get our heart pounding. We’ve been big fans of the mid-engine American-Italian exotic beast for some time, but this one is beautiful and seems to be well-sorted.
People seem to be discovering the new Nissan Z is actually good.
As you might already suspect, a classic car like this one doesn’t come cheap. The listing says it only has 54,000 miles on it (you decide what that means) and says PI Motorsports built it, so this isn’t some hack job by a guy in his garage.
That yellow paint looks great in the photos with no real blemishes showing. We do admit that when we’ve gone to look at cars in person after seeing pictures like these, the naked eye can pick up on things the photo lens doesn’t.
But we’re also fans of the wheels, even though we might not have picked those out, they do work great on the Pantera. All the exterior trim pieces seem to be in excellent condition, which we’d expect considering.
The interior is black, which works great with yellow. Everything inside also looks great, including the logo floormats and Pantera script on the dash. You’ll also note this car has a gated shifter, which is fantastic.
What’s more, the seller says this DeTomaso will be sold with a clean title. We would definitely reach out and ask questions if we were serious (that means you have the money and would genuinely buy this car if you like the answers) because not too much info is in the ad.
Of course, the kicker is the money. This Pantera doesn’t come cheap at $120,000 for the asking price. We know, that right there will put some people out and we get why. But if you genuinely have the cash to spare and want a well-sorted DeTomaso masterpiece, this might be the car for you.
