Buying or Selling a 1976 De Tomaso Pantera?

 

Introduced at the 1970 New York Auto Show, the De Tomaso Pantera was the brand’s most successful model thanks to beautiful bodywork, satisfying performance and a very affordable price compared to other Italian sports cars. The 1976 De Tomaso Pantera was powered by a 5.7-liter V8 engine with an output of 266 hp and could reach a top speed of 174 mph according to the factory. Also, the 0-to-60 mph acceleration was recorded at 5.5 seconds. The De Tomaso Pantera was penned by Ghia and featured a low wedge-shaped body with sharp lines and an overall aggressive look. The inside featured upgraded equipment and options such as air conditioning and was roomier than the previous model—the De Tomaso Mangusta. The American model was adapted to comply with American emissions and safety regulations, which resulted in lower horsepower and the addition of unaesthetic black bumpers. However, many examples have been restored to original looks and performances.
