Stunning looks and sounds, and absolutely flat handling make this 40 year old classic a lot of fun to drive. Chunky gearbox and lack of power steering, along with cramped quarters are the drawbacks, but what a body, easily as attractive as anything coming out of Modena or Stuttgart today, testament to Tom Tjaarda's timeless design.

I loved everything about the Pantera. In fact of all the vehicles I have owned in my life it is one of just two that I wish I had never sold. I still to this day remember the VIN number and hope I can someday track it down again to see what has become of it. Perhaps I'll own another should the right (white Pre-L) come along. It's only weakness was the lack of tires that would allow it to really perform.

In 1975 my dad bought this car off the showroom floor for $9,500, and I later sold it on eBay in 2010 after 35 years of family ownership and pure bliss. This was one of only 50 1974 DeTomaso Pantera GTS "American" imported to the USA, although the Euro version same year had more HP and suspension upgrades. The Pantera is exciting to look at, and more fun to drive. We logged 25,000 before selling it. I can remember 155mph trips to Toronto from Buffalo and the top speed hit was about 175MPH, although never fully tested. The Red & Black color still is rare, and inside the Pantera had A/C, a decent radio, but that's was useless when you wanted speed, because you'll go deaf, it's so loud inside, although it's also very exciting at the same time. The general design and build quality was excellent, and the FORD 351 Cleveland in my opinion is one of the best American made engines ever made. Over the years, this car does require a commitment, and costs escalate if you let it go, but having such a rare car is worth it.

Amazing. Rode on rails. The car I still walked away from backwards for two years.
