Introducing the meticulously crafted 1973 De Tomaso Pantera, a masterpiece of Italian design and American engineering, now proudly presented by HotRod Collection. Originating from the visionary collaboration between Carrozzeria Ghia and De Tomaso in Modena, Italy, this Pantera debuted at the 1970 New York Motor Show. It features a powerful Ford Cleveland V8 engine within a mid-engine layout, blending exotic allure with muscular performance. This model was sold through American Lincoln-Mercury dealers from 1972 to 1975, marking a special chapter in automotive history.

This 1973 Pantera has been under the care of four meticulous owners - including HotRod Collection - and has benefited from significant enhancements, including high-end custom wheels shod with Michelin Pilot Sport tires—225/45ZR 17s at the front and 335/35ZR 17s at the rear. Further modifications include a Holley Ultra Double Pumper carburetor, ceramic-coated headers, double-adjustable coilover shocks, a Wilwood big brake kit, and polyurethane suspension bushings.

Designed by Tom Tjaarda of Carrozzeria Ghia, the Pantera showcases low-slung, wide profiles with sculpted body lines, pop-up headlights, quad exhaust outlets, and distinctive flying buttress C-pillars.
Previously refinished in a deep black, this vehicle now sports its custom wheels that perfectly accentuate its aggressive stance.

The interior is a realm of luxury, featuring black leather upholstery with red contrast stitching, custom door panels, Daytona-style bucket seats, a three-spoke Lecarra steering wheel, a gated shifter assembly, Veglia Borletti instrument dials, and black carpet floor mats adorned with the red De Tomaso Pantera logo. It also includes modern amenities such as a heater and an aftermarket stereo system.
