This rare Pantera has just received a superbly done paint job and runs better than it looks. Ford's answer to the competative call of Ferrari and the Corvette and after its failed attempt to purchase Ferrari in the late 60's Ford partnered with DeTomaso to build the Pantera. Race inspired componentry was present - including: Independent suspension with upper and lower A-Arms, coil-over shock absorbers, front and rear sway bars, 4-wheel power disc brakes, and rack and pinion steering. The full monocoque chassis layout of the Pantera was built around the Ford 5.7 liter Cleveland V-8 that featured "deep-breathing heads patterned after the very successful Boss 302 design, 4-barrel carburetion and 4-bolt main bearing caps." This V-8 was mated to a ZF fully synchronized 5-speed transaxle with limited slip, and rated at 310 horsepower.
