72 Detomaso Pantera Pre L Vintage exotic

1972 De Tomaso Pantera Pre L Description

I am not going to give everyone a lengthy history of Detomaso or the Pantera, as you can easily go to the Pantera Owners Club of America or the Pantera International website and read up the Marque for yourself.This car is beautiful and drives very well, with the odometer showing only 20,205miles.

In my opinion, it is tastefully done, built to look great and perform awesome.I really like the way this car has the big wheel and tire package carefully fitted without the crazy bodywork. Yes, this car will attract crowds and be the star at cruise nights. It will win car shows. I have a shelf full of trophies to validate how nice it shows.71 and 72 Panteras require one to raise the rear deck lid to access the fuel filler, so get ready to field questions from everyone else at a gas station.You’re going to be there for a while.

Panteras are all about the proper modifications, and fortunately these mods make them more desirable, not less.This one has many.I have a folder of receipts for most of the parts, mainly sourced from Pantera Performance Center and Hall Pantera.It has been built with care, as evidenced by use of safety wiring, stainless and chrome fasteners, lock nuts, and anti-seize in the appropriate places.The car has absolutely no rust, which is paramount for Panteras. Transmission was rebuilt in 2014 by East Coast Pantera expert Ron Mcall, and shifts flawlessly.

With the Wilwood brake & master cylinder upgrades, it no longer has one of the original Pantera’s main weaknesses, poor brakes.The handling is very crisp with virtually every suspension upgrade possible being done.See the long list of mods below.Most notable are the Aldan Eagle double adjustable shocks.They are currently set a little soft, so the ride is as comfortable as a new car.Ride height is also set low for an aggressive stance.This can easily be raised with a simple spanner wrench if desired. The car handles like it’s on rails. The torque of the 351 Cleveland will put a smile on your face every time you step on the accelerator
