This is an actual" Barn Find" that has not been on the road since 1987. This car has covered only 13,500 miles as stated by the last 2 owners. The 1987 Georgia license tag goes with the car. The color is red and was repainted prior to storage in the 80's. The interior has the early step down dash with the original carpet that is still in the car and falling apart. The car features the series #1 flat rear deck along with the series #1 high output Cleveland engine. This Detomaso has not been started since it was removed from the barn and the engine turns freely. The Pantera has the original exhaust system, the original wheels, the original spare tire, the original tool roll and the car is complete. The only thing on this car that is not original is someone chromed the valve covers and the air filter base but bead blasting will rectify that. The Detomaso Pantera's are now firmly crossing the 100,000 Dollar mark and above for original examples. Some recent sales were 112,000 and 135,000 for top quality cars and that number is expected to rise in the near future. This car is a perfect candidate for freshening to be on the receiving end of such a sale. This Pantera is not without some minor early stage bubbling from sitting and not being used. This car has a dent in the passsenger side front wheel well flair and one on the rear upper fender and deck. This Pantera is equipped with series #1 square end bumpers versus the series#2 rounded edge split chrome bumpers. With the right person doing the freshening of the paint and carpet along with detailing the engine and trans this car could very well be a 150,000 dollar car at Auction.
