An aluminum alloy monocoque chassis was first used in the 1962 Lotus 25 Formula 1 race car. The Pantera's chassis was of a steel monocoque design, the first instance of De Tomaso using this construction technique. 1973 IMPORT CAR OF THE YEAR They were sold through Mercury Dealers, from 1971-1974 They were 0-60 in under six seconds in the 1974 product. They were a 14 second quarter mile. Ironically, they were built for handling and to compete against the Italian Giants! Top end speed of 159mph! Mid-engine design from Ford Ford and Ghia Joint Venture, Tjaarda & Dallara Great info can be found on these cars at - We purchased our first Pantera in 2004. It was Gary Wilson’s GT5, which was the first Pantera in the Hall of Fame. We were hooked…. this vehicle was purchased in June of 2006. At that time, we considered her in great condition, she was our third Pantera. Originally, she was Cortez silver (see Marti Report), somewhere in the late 70’s early 80’s she was completely disassembled and painted Maltone (orange -#20R498). The files that will come with car date back to the original owner and give a complete historical vehicle documentation. In the past few years the price of these cars has jumped, due to rarity, and standard transmissions on Italian cars. In 2018, we decided to put the car on the market. We looked at the overall condition of this car. She was the perfect candidate for our restoration project. Time (14 months) and money (over $70,000), plus the cost of the car, we are now ready for market… The biggest parts of the project were, drivetrain rebuild, Lusso impact bumper(comes with car) to Gossamer Split nose bumper conversion, complete insulation/heat shield of cockpit and engine compartment and rewire and rebuild light assembly. Here are the shop notes of what we did, a bit choppy, but you will be able to follow. Remove engine and transaxle. Disassemble motor and inspect for wear. We found flat lobes on the camshaft and cylinder wall tapper with worn main and rod bearings. We sent engine out to machine shop. We rebuilt with OEM Bore and had the crankshaft turned. We reassembled engine with a Q code camshaft. We installed new Center-force flywheel and clutch assembly. Replaced a/c compressor, receiver, dryer and condenser.
