20k: A Musical Interlude: 1971 DeTomaso Pantera GTS
Babe, gas station’s so far away
There’s something I just have to say
I don’t think I can hide when I’m drivin’ inside
Another day, knowin’ I’ll own you
And I, I’m getting too close again
I want to see your wide rear end
If I drive you tonight when I turn at the light
And walk away knowin’ I crashed you?
Oversteer might take me by surprise and make me realize, Pantera!
I’m gonna counter steer right away, and the back end’ll go another way, Pantera!
I’m gonna tank-slap it like a van and make you understand, Pantera! I own you…
Find this 1971 DeTomaso Pantera GTS here on eBay currently bidding for $26,400 with a few hours to go.
I feel like today’s the day
I’m lookin’ for the words to say
Do your tires wanna be free, are you aimin’ for that tree
To slide this way
I don’t wanna lose you
So, it may be too soon, I know
Momentum takes so long to grow
If I tell you today will you turn that way
And let me go?
I don’t wanna crash you
Fiberglass repair bills’ll take me by surprise and make me realize, Pantera!
I’m gonna tell you right away, I can’t wait another day, Pantera!
I’m gonna sell you to a man and make you understand, Pantera!
You and I
I know that I love that V8
And I swear, I swear it’s a Cleveland
Transaxle doesn’t add much weight
You, you and u-joints
We can share a life together
It’s now or never
And tomorrow I’ll buy a Z28
And, feelin’ the way I do
I don’t wanna wait my whole life through
To say I once owned you.
My apologies to Boston. tips@dailyturismo.com
You have a lovely singing voice, V.

That's some serious sax and violence, there.
A new Level, of Confidence,
and Power!
That rose in price quickly.
it looks and sounds like a kit car to me and ended at $ 42 K (price not met)

Thanks for all those links, I still think that the kit takes a lovely well-designed road car and makes it look like a kit car. Like a beautiful woman with fake blonde hair, breast implants, silicone lips. beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder!
hAhAhaha… troooo dat!
Yep, exactly.
Why didnt you just rewrite a pantera song? "I ask you please just give (me and this car) 5 MINUTES ALONE!!!! DUH NA NA DUH NA NA !!!!" !
"I will unlock my italian supercar, and drive right through the cemetary…..GATES!!!!!"
One more , sorry. " RE! SPECT! THE 351 CLEVLAND!!! WHAT DID YOU SAY? YOU CAN BEAT ME WITH YOUR CIVIC? NO WAY PUNK!!!
+1!
I just spent the last 2 hours googling De Tomaso and I don't regret a minute of it.
You have the cars that got him noticed, the Vallelunga and the Mangusta.
You have the car that got Ford to buy him out and develop it into a first approximation of a real car, the Pantera.
And then Ford threw the fish back in the pond and he never did anything that mattered again.
My opinion, of course…
