Identity

History notes: This 1974 DeTomaso Pantera was purchased new at Town & Country Motors of Somerville, New Jersey, on October 10, 1974. The car is finished in yellow over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a Ford 351ci Cleveland V8 paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes air conditioning, power windows, power four-wheel disc brakes, 18″ and 19″ HRE wheels, a Becker Europa AM/FM stereo, and dual ANSA mufflers. The car spent time in New York, California, and Arizona before being acquired by the current owner in 2013. Subsequent work reportedly consisted of replacing brake, suspension, fuel system, and climate control components. This Pantera is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with a New York title. Three-piece 18″ and 19″ HRE wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires measuring 225/35 up front and 305/35 out back. A space-saver spare is located in the rear cargo area. The car features a four-wheel independent suspension and adjustable coilovers. Braking is handled by power-assisted discs at each corner. Brake and suspension services are said to have been performed recently.
Modifications: looks very original except wheels.
