I really want to love this next car because the DeTomaso Pantera is one of my dream cars and this one is cheap…but it might be more of a nightmare before it is done…just take a close look at some of the photos and judge for yourself. Find this 1972 DeTomaso Pantera offered for $25,000 […]
The DeTomaso Pantera is known for being a wicked fast Italian supercar with an American heart, but it was also so unreliable that Elvis Presley reportedly put a few rounds from his pistol into a Pantera for not starting.

The most famous Pantera is […]
The DeTomaso Pantera is famous for two things. First: for being a wickedly fast Ford powered Italian supercar and second: for being so unreliable that Elvis Presley once reportedly pulled out a handgun and shot it for not starting.
