The
Pantera was the third car from De Tomaso. De Tomaso managed
to get the Pantera into Ford dealerships through a deal where
by Ford got De Tomaso's coachbuilding firm, Ghia. This move
significantly improved the sales of the Pantera, although Ford
stopped selling the Pantera in 1974 partly due to complaints
about build quality, reliability and rust.
Powered by a 5.8 litre Ford V8 the De Tomaso Pantera was capable
of reaching 160 mph, and it also displayed admirable handling
characteristics.
In total around 10,000 De Tomaso Pantera's were built from 1970
to 1995.
