Pantera . . beautiful name but oh so shit on the road that is why they don't exist anymore . . lovely engine but not backed up by the ability to stop or go around corners. . . as clearly demonstrated can only go in straight lines
The very first time a Pantera was entered in a road circuit race in Italy, it beat the pants off all the Porsches and Ferraris. It was enough to send Porsche back to the drawing board to come up with the 911 RS. I have owned my Pantera for six years now, and I can say, THERE ARE VERY FEW CARS that can keep up with me, and fewer that can pass....straight line or in the corners. With MILD improvements, ie. tires, shocks, some simple engine mods, a Pantera holds its own very well.
@timrk2001 . . as you stated with MODS . . . I would like to know what race you are referring . . having recently been to the Spa Classic 6 hours in Belgium I can report that the 2 Panteras that were there came in last and second from last against a whole plethora of Ferraris, Porsches, Maseratis, Jaguars and Mustangs all from the same era . . point me to that race
@68knative With all that glass, little headroom, the firewall behind the seats and dodgy air conditioning, the interior can get hot very quickly in a Pantera.
If I was going to nit pick at all, I would say careful with negative engine load such as the down shifting at 2:26. You want positive load, or neutral, such as idling. Most engines let go under negative load. So said the late Benny Parsons one time on TV talking about Nascar engines.
Well, there are so many different ideas about the perfect running conditions of an engine. The worst part about it is that they all make sense. I have been told that the worst condition for an engine idling. The idea is that without a any load on the engine that the engine will tend to jerk forward on each cylinder firing and then jerk backwards when no cylinder is firing. So positive and negative loads will limit the amount of jerkiness. So said by a sprint car builder.
Beautiful work! Can I ask you where you got the straight pipes? Also, the center console with the radio delete.. is that your own customization or did you buy from a vendor? Any info will be appreciated since I'm about to buy a 74 :). thanks
@inagod Yes, two pipes from the left side merge with two pipes from the right side, and two from the right merge with two from the left side, this allows for better scavenging and increased performance.
@MrFiat131... were do you get off with that misconception because of what you see in a 2 minute vid clip?.. This pantera could outhandle your tiny fiat any day.. Take your misconceptions somewhere else you prick.. Btw have you ever heard of a CTS-v?. No!?.. How about a corvette?... Yes a corvette will out handle many euro cars despite what you think.
Another yank with a V8 that doesn't seem to have a steering wheel lol, bends, chicanes, twisty roads, no just a heavy foot and a arrow straight road, nonsense!
Gotta love modern technology & the ability to do almost anything (if ya got the money). Always liked the Pantera & yours represents the breed quite strikingly.
Watched this vid like 50 times. Best sounding Pantera on You Tube. The seat covers make me cringe...the motor makes me tingle down there..and for the love of god put Manguso's back on the tires please. Beautiful car and I'm so jealous.
I'm sorry, but is this YOUR car?? NO! So if the owner wants the sheepskin seat covers, then he will have sheep skin seat covers! Good day to you, sir!!!!
@fabregasfan1 You have never sat in a Pantera, unless you are racing, the seats are hard as a rock. With seat covers they can be comfortable while driving around town, then when you are ready to race, simply pull the seat covers instead of having two sets of seats.
@fabregasfan1 please,youre messing with this guys sex life.im joking.but i agree,i would never put sheepskin on that car.i wouldnt put them on my work truck,i wouldnt put them on a pinto,i wouldnt eat them with green eggs and ham either.ill throw a towl on my seat first.really nice car.
I always drooled over these. They were on the road just as I got my license in '74. I'd see one now & then, even in Hampton, Va. Look but don't touch...
these are nice cars, my grand father has a 73 detomaso pantera, its the 351 but bored out, it goes pretty good haha. hes taking it apart this fall though, he got a 460 racing block and has it bored to 557. should go reallyyy nice hahaha
What a restoration!! Beautiful job. I hate to say, the Bullits do look better that the campos. Awsome leather job. And the pre L bumpers. I had a 72 pre L in the 70's- the L's looked lumpy, bulky bumpers.
It should be and appears to be a 351 Cleveland. At the very tail end of production after they ceased exporting to the US in any numbers did they have anything besides a Cleveland and that was a 302.
ya damn nice car but ide lose the beige seat covers,probably a whole interior color change is needed,I dono i jus dont like beige or fluffyness.White leather everywhere would be nice.
Corvettes for appetizers; Vipers for dinner.
I'd love to put a Pontiac V8 in the Pantera.
