Once a friend and I were talking about cars. He's a total fan of german and british automobiles. I also love british cars, such as Aston Martin and the XK Jaguars. But there's something in the italian cars that makes them unique. Their soul. It's in the appearance, the sound and the performance. Some say they break alot, they burn oil and after 80,000 miles they're a mess.
But God... these can be the best 80Kmiles of your life. LOVE DeTOMASOs!
Hi Lee, I didnt even know this was being filmed! Cant believe how many people have seen it (I would have really gunned it if I had known!). It will be 11 years of ownership in Feb 09. Guess I love the car as much as you did. Its still the thug of all supercars :-)
I have heard one of these cars one time in my life and believe me no matter how good it sounds in the video its better when your actually listening to it it makes you just stop and stare and in some cases start to drool
Die-hard Porsche fan here, and (finally) owner of an '88 930 turbo. Just bought her 6 months ago. The Pantera could possibly the one car that I would put on the same pedastal as my 930. Great friggin car, I could stare at it all day.
That is one sweet car. I would take a Pantera over any Lambo any day of the week. I'm still kicking myself in the ass for not buying a 1973 Pantera for only $9800. I thought the insurance was way too expensive at the time. I know what you are thinking: "What a dumbshit!" I'd have to agree with you.
No regrets!That's common to lots of sport car owners.A guy I knew owned in the early 80es a Dino 246 y.72 and a Pant.74-in 1987 he sold the Dino which from 88/90 topped €.95.000.000,00= and kept his Pant.which he liked more,but....had a poor market in Italy being rated not even the half at the time!
Countach, moontach, once you've seen or heard a Lambo you've heard and seen them all. The De Tomaso was a unique rare breed. Like it's creator Alejandro De Tomaso. In their day of the early 70s 0 to 60 in 5.5 seconds was a tough mark to beat on the street!

I could buy a 246 instead of a sequence of 911
which ran great but didn't make me richer...
So,it's a wide community!
