General description :
Beautiful 1972 DeTomaso Pantera with Matching Numbers and a Desirable Original Color Combination This 1972 DeTomaso Pantera is an excellent original matching numbers car wearing its original color combination of blue over black interior. A highly attractive driver that's mechanically excellent. It starts right up and runs great. It also shifts and stops as it should. The paint is not without its flaws and is showing its age in a few areas but the body is nice and straight. It comes with its original wheels but its seats are not original. The interior is clean and very presentable as-is. Retaining its original 351 Cleveland V8 engine with 5-speed ZF gearbox, this Pantera would be an ideal addition to any collection favoring these extraordinary supercars. An exciting opportunity indeed! Matching NumbersAttractive Original Color CombinationMechanically Strong Driver Highly Desirable and Collectible Pantera Price: $67,500
