A legend among Italian sports cars, the De Tomaso Pantera GTS holds a special place in the hearts of collectors.
Crafted in the early 1970s by Ghia’s Tom Tjaarda, the Pantera was a limited-production car that enjoyed an extended lifespan, solidifying its status as a desirable classic.
While the standard Pantera was a force on the road, the GTS dialed things up a notch. Drawing inspiration from Group 3 racing, the 1972 GTS variant sported a more potent Ford engine, enhanced brakes for superior control, and unique black accents that emphasized its aggressive character.
This fall’s auction scene is about to be revved up by a stunning De Tomaso Pantera that’s undergone a meticulous transformation.
Forget clunky handling the suspension now features an adjustable rear shock and a tower brace for a more responsive ride.
Overheating is a thing of the past thanks to a brand-new radiator, water tubes, and a revamped flow system that keeps the engine running cool. Efficiency gets a boost too, with the air conditioning relocated to the front of the car.
