1973 DeTomaso Pantera, 5,000 miles, $74,998

This Pantera is in Springfield, Missouri. I am the 3rd owner. It was originally purchased in Beverly Hills, California by George Kent and he owned it until 2005 when Greg Oliver purchased it and brought it to the Springfield, Missouri area. I purchased it May of 2011 when Mr. Oliver wanted to downsize things.

Mr. Kent and his wife put a huge number of door dings in it. My mechanic believed the milage of about 5,000 miles to be accurate for the things we did to the vehicle

It has had the following performed and I am sure I have missed some stuff:

New head liner, new front and rear trunk carpet, safety wired transmission and new gaskets, front brake kit (no brake pads), hot water valve to heater, removable cross member under oil pan, separation on driver seat repaired, switches on dash replaced as needed, massive number of door dings dentless paint repair, side bumper trim removed and had to do touch up paint due to peeling of pain (looks very good to me), front hood repaint due to antifreeze stain from my other Pantera (looks good). Carb. rebuilt, new hoses all around, radiator boiled, full tune up, replaced plastic window and headlight gears with brass, put new bushings in the steering rack and new battery.

I did not replace the suspension bushing which are a little cracked. The AC works but I did not update for new freon. It leaked out over about 2-3 months. It has an old am/fm radio with a power antenna.

Over zealous detail guy got out of hand and painted the bumper since he tought it should be more shiny. This could be replaced or painted rubber color and sheen. He also painted the pressure and overflow tanks black and the half shafts bronze like. Engine has been painted.

It has the original tools and tires (which Mr. Oliver took off when he bought the car)

This is a very original car with updates which had to be done without hurting originality. The only thing I see which may need work is the brake pedal travel is a little long and there is a slight antifreeze drip up front which I have not found the cause. It runs cool even in 90 plus degree F. temp. Shifts perfectly and drives nicely.

$74.998 US dollars.

Thanks. It is definitely a 70's color.

 

90 cars in 1973 were painted green.

I have a 74L that has been upgrade in many ways which I drive on a regular basis. This one is a museum piece. I have tried to keep as original as possible but the darn bumper has been painted.

 

A Hudson, your Pantera is beautiful!

 

Here are some examples of receipts. Pretty much complete records available for this Pantera. Second owner did not do much more than pull original tires and change fluids as far as I can tell.
