According to the accompanying Marti Report, this Pantera was completed in Italy in May of 1973. Originally finished in Green paintwork, one of 90 painted as such for 1973, the car was outfitted with air conditioning, Magnesium sport wheels, power windows with tinted glass, and full instrumentation. Powered by the 351 cubic inch Cleveland V-8 engine rated at 330 bhp, power is managed through a ZF five-speed transaxle and four-wheel power disc brakes with an all-independent suspension. Needless to say, the Pantera was no slouch, capable of a top speed in excess of 240 km/h. Just 1,258 Panteras were produced from 1971-1974. Released from the factory in September of 1973, the Pantera was put on a boat and shipped to Bernes Lincoln-Mercury of Chicago via the Port of Newark. All Panteras sold new in the U.S. were sold via Lincoln-Mercury dealerships. Sold new on February 22, 1974, unfortunately little is known of the Pantera’s subsequent history. Today, it is registered in the Netherlands and has been restored in in Ford’s iconic Grabber Blue paintwork with a black leather interior by specialist Martin Dijkhof of Achterveld. According to the consignor, €80,000 was spent on the car during his ownership. A truly fascinating and partnership between Ford, De Tomaso, and Ghia, the Pantera brings the very best of Italian craftsmanship alongside American performance and reliability. Well-presented in one of the most eye-catching and period correct colour schemes for the model, this example would sit proudly alongside its contemporaries from Ferrari, Maserati, or Lamborghini.
