Every time I give someone a ride in mine, they have the same reaction when I let off the throttle......They burst out laughing. It's that good.
Never knew the Pantera had such a long production run, had only knew of the 70's Panteras!
The Pantera still looks modern 50 years later.
Still one of my top 5 dream cars.
Back around 1991 I was in auto body repair in my high school’s vocational program. We had a Pantera and I was best friends with a classmate whose father had a large independent car dealership and mechanical repair shop. The Pantera was there to get in good running condition and the sound and fury of that beautiful beast still resonates in my soul. God I wish I would’ve been smart enough to buy one back in my 20’s (mid to late 90’s when they were still selling at reasonable prices. One of my favorite cars of all time.
My uncle Joe was a serious car collector who owned 67 cars at the time of his passing. The only cars he owned that had any foreign heritage to them were his beautiful 1964 Shelby Cobra 289 and his 1971 Pantera. Both having Ford engines and European and English built bodies. I used to love it as a kid when my uncle Joe came around. Being the only male child in the my generation and uncle Joe never having been married of having children meant I was getting to hang out with him and my dad . I have ridden in and have driven some of the greatest automotive offerings from American Aut manufacturers. And 2 of them just happened to be the Cobra and the Pantera. And the Pantera was one of my favorites out of all of them. My absolute favorite however was his 1974 Jeep CJ5 Renegade with the 304 V8 and T 18 4 speed transmission. It was definitely not the fastest of his cars but it was something different yet held all of best attributes of the cars he collected. A V8 , a convertible and off road capable. That very same CJ 5 Renegade sits in my garage as I make this comment. Only now it's much better in every way than it was originally. But I would trade it and everything else I own today just to get to hang out with my Uncle Joe one more time .
My brother owned 3 Panteras. A 1972, 1974 and 1975. I had the pleasure of enjoying all of them. For that period in time absolutely amazing cars. Great video, thank you for the memories!!
MY biggest car regret was not buying a restored1972 Pantera L back in 2002 for $27K. Instead I remodeled my kitchen.
Saw my first Pantera when I was a kid...musta been around 1975, and my mind was blown.
Last time I saw one of these was in the 70's. Me and my buddies were on our bikes when a Pantera went by and jumped on the highway on ramp. Can still hear that engine sound 50+ years later.
It still displays the BEST WIDE tire photos of the internet. Those are some beasts. Nuff said.
Very well done video! I would also choose a Pantera over a similar aged Ferrari 😊
Shelby Cobra.....DeTomaso Mangusta (Mongoose). 😎👍
When I think of getting replacement parts, the Pantera wins.
I am absolutely blown away!... I've had a thing for the Mangusta and Pantera for over thirty years and I've never once seen or heard of the 90si! If only they built more, so the prices weren't so crazy!
Between 1974 and 2006, I owned one '69 Mangusta, two '72 Pantera's, and one '71 Pantera. Even though the '71 was the most unique with the old push-buttom door handles like the Mangusta, it was the most reliable car. It was serial number 1300, one of the first 15 cars imported to the States. I never should have sold it.
I remember a guy, Eddie tell me about this car back in 1998.
This car is the epitome of "best of both worlds"... Timeless beauty, unbeateable sound and decent power for its time.
I had a friend who had one,(purchased a burnt one and restored it ). It was amazing.🤗
I really love seeing modified Panteras and marveling at the self-expression and uniqueness embodied by what people come up with for them. Wild colors, rear wings, fearsome performance upgrades, you name it.
