My 1972 De Tomaso Pantera

[Mikebentley]

That is probably the best white car I have ever seen. It looks so straight and original.

Ah looks fab, well done!

[smn159]

Indeed - that looks spot on

Thanks, pretty much stock apart from American bumper delete from new, Holley carb, MSD electronic ignition, stronger headers and Momo steering wheel.

I do appreciate the wide bodied models but really like the clean lines of the early models.

Holy sh*t that looks awesome! Hope you enjoy it mate.

[Brucedog]

This is one of its stable mates.

tberg,

If you get to read this your Pantera is stunning! I love what you have done to it, truly inspirational.

Cheers Andy

The Pantera is awesome but we need more info on this.

Fulvia 1600 HF fully restored and absolutely mint. The previous owner to me was the racing driver Barrie (Whizzo) Williams who sadly died in 2018. I bought it from his estate at auction and I treasure it very much.

Thanks for the comment

not normally a fan of white cars... I can safely say that this is an exception to that

Looks great Brucedog - I'm very envious!

Welcome to PH Brucedog, and what an amazing first post, fan-bloody-tastic!!

tberg, if you're still on PH, more pics of your beauty too please, especially from the music video you mentioned if there are any.

Haven't visited this post for a while, however, Brucedog, it's always a good day when you wake up with a beautiful Pantera in your garage. Congratulations on your new addition. Ash, the music video was cancelled, however, about a month ago my Pantera was used in a video for a singer Ty Dollar Sign, and I took a couple of pics. I am in the hospital for a couple of days but will post them when I get out. And by the way, we were never able to diagnose the fuel injection issue, pulled it out, and replace with an Edelbrock carb and haven't had an issue since.

[Brucedog]

Thanks for the welcome and positive comments.

tberg, I hope you soon get over your stay in hospital and it’s nothing too serious.
As I said I love what you have done to your car. I want to keep mine pretty stock but have to say, as much as I love the Campag wheels I’m not sure I can live without those arches being filled.
Once your up and about I wouldn’t mind picking your brain over wheels if that’s ok?

Cheers Andy

Brucedog,
I haven't visited this thread for quite a while, so I'm sorry I didn't respond to your last post. Anytime you want to talk, send me a message and we'll get in touch. I bought the wheels probably 18 years ago from Pantera International Motorsports in Orange, California. A friend recently bought a set for his new to him Pantera so they are still available. Several other Pantera parts vendors also offer their own versions of the Campy clones. How are you enjoying your car now that you've had it for a few months? Are you getting used to driving it barefooted like most of us have to do?
