Default De Tomaso Panteras....

while on my way to work one day i noticed what reminded me of a lmborghini. i asked my dad what it was and he named a few and i looked on the web..and needless to say i fell in love. i asked around to a bunch of TR friends and some others and nobody really has heard of this car...only a few have. not even my boyfriend (who now has an intrest in them) but i was just wondering what everyone thought on this gorgeous car....discuss:



btw, please no flaming this time, im just happy about discovering this nice car.

I like the older ones better, which kinda suprises me. This is probably the first time I've seen the name DeTomaso in 15 years. On second thought I like the gray one, but something just doesn't look right on the red one. The rollcage maybe?

My dad had a 73 when I was a little kid. I will never forget sitting on the console between my parents as we drove through the ocala forest at 130 MPH when I was only 7.

I think those early memories of being exposed to that powerful mid engined car is what contributed to my 930 addiction.

Default A Classic

They are indeed classics of a by gone era. Sweet to see one on the road, as opposed to just in the garage.
