This 1974 De Tomaso Pantera L is claimed to only have covered 7,500 miles. It has been in storage for 20 years and is not currently running. This beauty could end up being a bargain, or it could just be an Italian money pit. Find it here on eBay out of Fairport, New York with bidding at $15,000 with no reserve.

The Pantera was a nice combination of Italian supercar styling and reliable American power. A Ford 351 Cleveland V8 was the powerplant of choice and this one could put out around 250 horsepower when new. The seller mentions that the typical mods have been completed, but a more extensive list would have been appreciated. They do state that the cooling system has been replaced, so that is one less item on the to-do list.

The L stands for luxury, but apart from power windows, a cigarette lighter, and climate control, there are not many luxuries to be found in here. Those seats do look like new though. If the mileage is correct, then everything should look good. We are more worried about what you can’t see in the photos though. Long periods of inactivity can be hard on a car’s seals and innards. Also, there is no mention of rust even though it is one of the Pantera’s biggest enemies. Maybe we are just being pessimistic though. We sure hope so because this Panther could be a lot of fun…
