This 1971 De Tomaso Pantera (chassis THPNLL01471) is thought to have last been driven in 1990, though has been in dry storage as a partially complete restoration since 2005. Sold with a rebuilt, matching-numbers and mildly built 351 Cleveland, the body has undergone quite a bit of metalwork, and though some smaller jobs remain it looks straight and solid. Find it here on eBay in Frenchtown, New Jersey with no reserve.

Starting in 2003, the car was fully disassembled and dip-stripped before the right rear quarter, door skins, B-pillars, rockers and front fenders were replaced. Then mounted to a rotisserie, it was further prepped with epoxy primer. The seller says it needs minor finishing work, but from what we can make out looks nearly ready.

This cabin shot shows good floors, sills and dash structure. All interior pieces are included, the seller mentioning two brake rotors, rear quarter windows and OEM carb as the only missing parts.

The car’s factory 351C has been rebuilt with a .030 overbore, ARP rod bolts, a three angle valve job and much more detailed in the ad. Estimated output is now up to 380 HP, the ad further mentioning a magnafluxed block and inspected, healthy gearbox with new gaskets and seals.

We’d ditch the incorrect GTS-style wing in order to allow this early car’s more elegant detailing to shine. Grabber Blue would be perfect.
