Just 100 miles from new, totally original!

This is truly a “time warp” car! It has never turned a wheel and is just as it was when purchased new 33 years ago. To the collector who is looking for an original car it doesn’t get any better than this “out of the box” example. It has never been touched, modified, damaged or restored. It is totally as it was when NEW and completely period correct.

It is hard to imagine a more perfect example of any 33-year old collector car than this De Tomaso. It has only covered 100 miles from new, having been coveted by successive collector owners, and retains fascinating details such as the original unused collapsible spare tire.

\The car comes with its purchase invoice dated February 25, 1975, the Manufacture’s Statement of Origin, the original manual and certificates of title issued since new. The car was featured in the Fall 2003 edition of the Pantera International magazine.

About the De Tomaso Pantera
Alejandro de Tomaso has purchased Ghia in the late 1960’s and produced the Ford 302 V8 powered mid engine Mangusta super car. During the course of the Mangusta deal, de Tomaso has established a good relationship with the Ford Motor Company. This was very instrumental in his next automotive venture, the Pantera. The new Pantera used a unitized body and the larger 351 cid Ford “Cleveland” V8, developing up to 330 HP. With a top speed of 160 mph it made headlines and Ford took a stake, offering the car through Lincoln-Mercury dealerships.

The body was styled by Tom Tjaarda, son of Lincoln-Zephyr designer John Tjaarda, then working at Ghia. Lincoln-Mercury records show 6,000 cars sold over its four-year production run.
