The later 1972 "L" cars featured larger black rubber bumpers that would remain on the Pantera throughout the run of US carsDerived from the earlier designed Mangusta, the Pantera, also designed by Ghia, employed a steel monocoque chassis and starting in 1972, utilized the reliable Ford 351 Cleveland V8. With a 4 bolt main and the "Cobra Jet" cam, it delivered reliable performance that Americans demanded.Originally imported by Ford and sold through Lincoln Mercury Dealers from 1971-1975 it was marketed and sold to performance enthusiasts until it became too expensive and not profitable for dealers (Ford priced the car at $9,995, below the Lincoln Town Car which was $9,999 as Ford wanted the Town Car to be the most expensive car it sold). Only about 5,500 were sold during this period with another 2,000 or so produced for various markets over the next 20 years in several iterations including some wide body cars in the later versions.This extremely nicely preserved example has been in the Dallas area it's entire life with the 2nd owner possessing the car for nearly 30 years. They maintained & drove the car regularly and it shows in this well presented example with Factory A/C.Exterior photos show an original car complete with proper Factory Alloy Wheels and chrome bumpers and trim present and showing well. The paint is in good condition having had a respray in what appears to be the original Factory color with some nicks & chips, mostly below the front bumper (see all 100+ pics).Interior pics show a well sorted and original interior that has not been modified and is well preserved with clean, solid seats, carpets, dash & door panels. Even the steering wheel pad is solid and clean (these are often deteriorated by UV exposure & are difficult & expensive to source).Engine compartment pics show the fairly original and un-modified 351 V8 with the addition of a High Volume K&N air filter.The transaxle is clean and included pics of the cross member reveal the solid & rust free condition.Underside photos reveal a clean and solid chassis that hasn't been altered or modified (again. See all 100+ photos).While this Pantera does run and drive very well, it will need to be completely inspected and serviced before any extended driving to ensure safety and reliability (due to our filming schedule we cannot perform any additional work on this car or build it for you).

Photos About Us “I’ve been obsessed with cars since… I was born.” Richard Rawlings had a car by age fourteen, and had gone through nearly twenty cars by the time he was out of high school. His father worked three jobs his whole life—two to make ends meet for the family, and one to buy toys. Neither a mechanic nor a fabricator, his father took pride in his car collection. Needless to say, this stayed with Richard. Rawlings was always working, and always chasing pipe dreams. By twenty-one, he’d been a cop, a fireman, and a medic. But he wanted more. After a rough stint of sleeping on his sister’s couch, he got his act together and entered the world of trading sales. Here he solidified his business savvy, and went on to build an advertising and printing firm from the ground up. The company grew to become a “juggernaut” in the Dallas area. A mere four years later, the company sold, and with that money Gas Monkey Garage was born. Aaron Kaufman worked at a shop Rawlings frequented, and loved the stuff Rawlings brought in for him. Kaufman always went above and beyond for him. When Gas Monkey opened, Rawlings called him up and asked if he wanted to work for him. The premise was simple: Rawlings wanted the fastest, most expensive, most badass hot rod shop to be found, with apparel and a show on Discovery to boot. Kaufman thought he was crazy, but signed on anyway. Eight years later, the shop is all that and more. They owe their success to a strict business model. They don’t buy parts—only whole models without too much rust. Owing to his business background, Rawlings has a handle on the market, and knows the price he ought to pay. In ninety days or less, the job will be done, whether they start with a decent model or a carcass. Then it’s onto the next job without hesitation. If a finished car sits too long, Rawlings will sell it at a loss. He’s interested in a killer operation, not a stockpile. Their roles within the shop are clear. Rawlings is first and foremost an entrepreneur. He wants to sell a style, push a brand, and make sure Gas Monkey Garage never stops growing. Kaufman runs the shop, armed with his mastery of mechanics, electrics, and fabrication. The dynamic is vital, the common ground being their mutual love of classic cars. Rawlings has always been an old soul when it comes to cars, and his style has brought in a steady flow of clientele who trust his no-B.S. methods. “Anyone can go out and buy a Ferrari.” Rawlings’ dream car? “A 1932 Ford Roadster—the holy grail of hot rods.” Warranty Information This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied.
