I’ve always loved how the back of this car looks with the exhausts and wide back tires. I guess I’d have to give credit to the Miura for this kind of styling, but either way I really like it.

I have owned four, now working on my fifth! Very cool cars!

such a cool lady, love her style!

Those tires are enormous!

Used to be one in my neighborhood in the early 1980s when I was a kid. It was yellow-orange, sort of a "cheddar cheese" color but it actually looked great on the car. Even back then you didn't see Panteras every day. It's been one of my favorite dream cars ever since. Their exhaust has a unique stuttering snarl that sounds like nothing else. Maybe it's down to the way the engine is positioned, or the length of the pipes, but whatever, they have their own totally unique note. Especially when fitted with tube headers.

The Pantera has timeless lines

Panteras have always been some of my favorite cars that I will likely never own. Nice video. The audio did not pick up how good they really sound when done right.

The Pantera was by far the Best looking mid-engine car of it's era

Absolutely love these cars! Your knowledge and insight really are quite special. Great to know I can maybe fit into this specific Pantera!

Just can't get enough of any Detomaso. But the Pantera is my favourite of the marque. Thanks again Colleen. When we will see some more of your car racing? 😀

The Pantera styling coupled with American muscle and a ZF manual is a killer combination. I have always loved the styling and the simplicity of it! The trunk insert for carrying some overnight bags looks fairly spacious, probably don’t want to put ice cream in there it wouldn’t make the trip home too well! Love the sound of the stroker V8 based on the roll bar and fire system this car is set up for track days, and you can drive it there and back and not worry and hopefully not break any drivetrain internals! Great video thank you Colleen!

Absolutely love this car. I was lucky enough to get pictures of one and speak to the owner. And it was an original race version, had the massive engine compartment id tag. Crazy headers going straight out the back. Super duper wide tires, super low. Beautiful car

The American Countach!

These are beautiful cars, you're extremely knowledgeable on mostly every high end car. It's great to see women really interested in the automotive hobby, that truly amazes me, I wish my daughter were into cars as you are. God Bless!!!

Good job, u look great... And fun to watch

Go Colleen!! Great car and great video. I love how much passion you put into digging into the history of the cars.

Thank you for another marvellous car history lesson! 👍🏻👏🏿👍🏻

Awesome design that has aged very well. The Mangusta looks epic too. Thanks : D

Great video with excellent details! Just acquired a 73 Pantera in stock trim. I am impressed with everything I learn about this car. Your next video should feature short shorts or patches 🙂

I had to do a double-take because this car has the same exact GTS-style steel flares that were on my '74, which I've rarely seen. I've lost track of ol' #6152 and thought maybe a new owner had painted it red. :) But alas, this is an earlier vehicle. The split pod dash was one clue.

Agree on Pantera on the want list. Excellent video. Been admiring these cars for many years.

OH YEAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You definitly have some mites at home.

A tour of her garage would be a treat

Beautiful pantera

Awesome car, awesome narration ❤

Have always loved the styling of Panteras since seeing one being driven at high speed walking home from school back in the 80s here in the UK. The only other one i saw was at a car show about 20 years ago so very rare compared to Ferrari's. I love high revving naturally aspirated engimes and have owned both a Ferrari 355 & a Porsche 996GT3 with redlines above 8000rpm and both sounded fantastic but not huge amounts or torque. American V8's also sound fantastic and have plenty of toruq low down so probaby lower running costs compared to a Ferrari, Lambo etc.

Lots of Pantera's , only one Colleen ... Nicely done ..

I agree you don't need another car, you need to replace your torn up trousers first

New subscriber and absolutely love the video. They are such underrated cars

WHAT. A. BEAUTY. - PERIOD :) !

Wow that thumbnail is awesome! Unbelievable great car. Nothing beats DeTomaso style.

always one of my favorites.

This is very cool.

she's gorgeous, and her jeans get more outrageous by the month, like the pants tera 🤩

She knows her cars and should market the nice jeans too..Love .

Here is a bit of history she forgot to mention, De Tomaso emigrated from Argentina , he added the Argentine flag to the logo on the car.

A later version with all the flares and etc with an all aluminum big cube Roush or Kasse SBF with a killer top end would be a killer setup I think. Or maybe even a forged Coyote or forged Voodoo with a 3.0 or 3.8L Whipple would be an absolute blast. I've always loved the way these look and I'm not a Blue Oval fan boy by any means. Who couldn't love these looks with a Whipple Coyote or Voodoo making an easy 800+++ whp and rev to 7500+ rpm plus.

ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT REVIEW..

One of my favorites

450 HP!? Geez, what a beast.

I prefer the blue one next to it.. stunning alloys!!+

"To buy a car or not to buy a car, thats the question!?" ❤

Awesome!

I SERIOUSLY LOVE the Ford V8 in this.

Always loved these beasts. Not digging the non OEM wheels/tires though. Thanks for sharing!

I don't know if anyone can beat a Corvette for price, performance,styling, and reliability but that thing is comes very close to it.

Teach On Ms Cali Car Lady ! Same Dream....Car !

The mangusta vs the pantera is a study in 60's vs 70's car design. But our host looks like a giant standing in front of the pantera in the beginning of the video.

Dream rig

Alejandro de tomaso un procer argentino ,no olvides mencionar quien es y si historia ,un beso .

Always wanted a red Pantera,, however I did restore one at work

great video

Nice one

I saw a few of these when I was a kid. It reminded me of Ferraris, which we never saw in the Buffalo area.

I guess owning a pantera leaves little for the clothing budget❗️🇺🇸

ARES Modena Italy has made a restomod of this Detomaso Pantera. Which the Ares calls Panther ProgettoUno. Equipped with a Corvette C8 engine and chassis, I thought.

always had a soft spot for the Pantera and I'm a lil' tickled that it shared the showroom floor with the Mercury Cougar, which I'm proud to say, I have a '68 model.

a pantera that has been "modified" to fix the problems that these cars had when they were new. a great car after you fix the bugs.

1972.5 had late bumpers, early leather dash

This is a car to place the 8-1 bundle of snakes exhaust system in. 351c 4v built to rev would be amazing.

Some of the more staid Lincoln-Mercury dealers must have wondered what to do with these things when they came in. Too bad the AMX/3 didn't pan out for AMC...that could have been a rivalry for the ages.

Please a video on the DeTomaso Longchamp and Deauville! so uncovered cars!

Keep it!

The trend of reviving successful models from the past like the Bronco could be taken into account once again with De Tomasso. 🤔 his new nickname would be the corvette killer 🤔🤔😃👏👏👏👏👏

You were attacked by some animals ?

Is this a new video starting look? I am liking it.

Thanks for another great video. I'm 6' 3" and I fit into my Ferrari 308 quite nicely (with a 1" wheel spacer) Unfortunately a GT-40 Repro. or Pantera can never be in my future. Poor me.

Sports car? Muscle car? Exotic? Yes to all three.

"And the a-Ford-ability of american muscle cars" I see what you did there.

Worked and Driven few you can Install 427 Windsor

Love the smooth steel flares… can’t stand that “bolted-on” look

Enzo Ferrari had a talent for making enemies everywhere he went but the one thing that did was it inspired others to make some exciting cars to beat his Ferraris. With the Ford engine they are easy to work on and parts don't generally cost an arm, leg, and kidney too. The bad thing for me is that I'm 6'5" and most cars just aren't made for people over about 6'2" so fitting in this for me would probably set off a mean episode of sciatica.

They might have been cheaper at the time...well not that much ..and now more expensive! The Mangusta is even more!!

The first Corvette mid-engine C8 prototype 🤷‍♂️

The wraith never surrender

Her pants are broken :(

Great body. Looks race ready!!! The car is fine, I guess.

C8 Corvette is the new pantera

The L front bumper is also an aerodynamic feature that adds needed down force to the front of the car

Are your trainers Air force ones?

Awesome car. What a sound. Tires were not that wide originally though, right? Ok, to keep it on the ground!

Are those GOTTI wheels on the car?

Wow, she's beautiful in that thumbnail picture but... ....that woman gets in the way 😊

There's nothing affordable about a Pantera! Speak to the owners! Love this lady though!

Where can I buy one. ???

I used to detail one. One day I backed it into the client’s block wall… as he watched… with his paint guy, who just dropped it off 😢

Is the injection from Pantera Performance ? Mine had their injection and it was a monster car. Dynoed at 480 HP to the wheels, 550 HP to the crank. What computer ECU management are you using?

could be my old car. Is the s/n 4410 ?

In description: "The detomaso Pantera is quick from the factory, being mid engine, and with more than adequit ammounts of torque derrived from its Ford 352 Windsor" The de Tomaso with the 351 was always the Cleveland, except for 1988-1990 when it came with the Windsor. My dad's 1972 Pantera was white but it had a black colored engine hood. I've never seen another one painted like it and we bought it in 1976, so we know it wasn't aftermarket painted. It made it look even better. It wasn't as fast as our 308GTB, but it sounded better at idle.

I have seen an espada in garage. When you will drive it?

Now that would be an awesome Pantera to own!! Is there a Ferrari 348 in the background there Colleen? Anything special or just a regular one?

Colleen needs to get paid more so she don't need to steal her pants from the homeless.

Want!

I`m super cool because my pants are ripped.

Technically they were distributed by Lincoln mercury dealers you couldn't buy one from Ford dealerships

$9,800 brand new at your local Lincoln Mercury Dealer.

Take some of that KZfaq revenue and buy some pants.

Nice but the back wheels are too damn wide and I think it's illegal. When it hits a road irregularity the fender is going to scrape the wheels... 335 or 325's would be better.

Humble brag “having dealt with Ferraris my whole life”

Sounded like a bad lifter when it started up
