You’re looking at a 1972 numbers ( engine ) matching, alifornia blue plate De Tomaso Pantera. Odometer reads 37,174 but the actual mileage is unknown. Originally it was Fly Yellow. It was probably painted more than 25 years ago. It was faded when I bought it and I had it buffed out. It’s shiny but needs body work and paint. It has small dings, cratches, reas needing rust repair, tc. The front and rear bumpers need to bere-chromed. The front trunk area and rear fiberglass shell have been recovered. There were no rust holes in the front or near the battery. It has a new battery. It runs and drives but will need some attention before it is road worthy, .e., elts, oses, ooling system, ook at the brakes, tc. The previous owner spent $3,500 on the brakes (have receipt).I bead blasted and painted the air cleaner. It has the original wheels, 5x7’s and 15x8’s. I bead blasted the wheels and painted them. They came out really nice. It has the original lug nuts with the Pantera logo on them (one lug nut is missing). One of the 15x8 wheels has some damage that needs to be repaired. The rear tires are good. The front tires need to be replaced. It’s been off the road since 2008 but was started and driven short distances to keep it up. I have read in Pantera books and have talked to other Pantera owners regarding the recall on the frames. The early cars had a tendency to crack and this car is no different. It had reinforcements welded on as shown in the pictures. The motor looks to me like it has been rebuilt. It runs great, o smoke, o noises, t starts right up. It has a rebuilt Holley carburetor, SD ignition, ew plugs, ap, otor, il filter and oil change. I bead blasted and painted the side window gills, he wiper grills and rear license plate light holder. The black paint on the hood and deck lid were faded, o we scuffed them down and repainted them in flat black. The gear box is good shifting through all gears. It has the original Anza exhaust with the metal tag still intact. The emergency brake works. The shocks on the motor deck lid need to be rebuilt or replaced. The doors open and close great. The antenna goes up and down. All the bright-work, tainless around the windows, ain gutters, tc., re nice. When the car gets painted, hey'll look great. It is missing the De Tomaso rear emblem and the driver's side side-marker light and bezel. All the glass is good. The front windshield has three small chips that can be repaired by a glass guy. The power windows did work. I'm afraid to lower them because they might not go back up. They're very, ery slow. The windshield wipers, azard button and blinkers work. The radio does not work. It needs a horn button or new steering wheel. The headlights do work, ut it will need a dash light switch and relays. The headlights do go up manually. One headlight housing has a dip in it. All the gauges and speedometer work. The tachometer does not work. It may be a very simple fix like a wire. The dash pad, onsole and door panels are in good shape but have some imperfections, ome light marks and very small tears. I pulled the seats out to shampoo the carpet. When they were out I cleaned and greased the seat tracks. The seats are in great shape, o tears, ot worn. The carpet is in good shape, little faded in areas, ot too bad though and not ripped. It has a new headliner (center section only). The headliner trim pieces need to be cleaned. They are original.

Clean California title in non-op status, o liens or back fees. To sum it up, t’s a great project car, umbers matching, uns and drives. It's one of those cars that's a little rough around the edges but runs great. If I had the space, would keep it and watch it go up in value. ** Check out the videos of the car at the end of the pictures **
