Our Take:
- The 1973 DeTomaso Pantera is a fascinating blend of Italian design and American muscle. It was a product of Alejandro De Tomaso's vision to combine a stylish body crafted by renowned designer Tom Tjaarda and the raw power of Ford’s 351 Cleveland V8 engine. This combo makes it a standout piece from the golden era of '70s sports cars.
- If you're into rarity and charm, the '73 Pantera is a gem worth noting. During its production run from 1971 to 1974, just over 5,000 units were produced, making each example a rare find. The car’s unique heritage, coupled with its limited numbers, cements its status as a collector's item, albeit one you can still enjoy on the road.
- The modifications on this Pantera enhance its driving dynamics while keeping true to its classic roots. Upgrades like the Edelbrock intake manifold and Holley carburetor are aimed at boosting performance, while the Pertronix ignition system is a nod to reliability—something vintage car owners can appreciate on long Saturday drives.
- As with many cars from this era, the interior was often minimalistic and driver-centric. This Pantera’s refreshed interior—including power windows, an amenity not always functioning in older models—suggests a more user-friendly approach. And while the paint might not win Concours awards, it still turns heads, providing that perfect blend of classic charm and everyday usability.
