This 1972 DeTomaso Pantera (chassis THPNMB02321) has been owned by the current seller for 10+ years and he is offering it as an unfinished project. He says that the current color was indicated on a tag beneath the radiator even though the original owner painted it red, and he had it painted this color over bare metal. Find it here on eBay in Bellbrook, Ohio with no reserve. Special thanks to BaT reader Don L. for this submission!

A Google Image search for “Pantera Lime Green” does not yield many results, but it does look like a few cars were this color. The Pre-L bumpers look great on this car, and this is the exact exterior spec that we prefer on a Pantera, no matter what the color.

The interior looks quite good, and the seller shows the stock seats in separate photos. It is unusual to find these cars with stock steering wheels and radios these days, and we like that they are both retained here. The odometer shows 20k miles, and the seller believes it, but it does not sound like much documentation comes with the sale.

The engine was supposedly gone through about 8 years ago, but it doesn’t sound as if it has run since. That air cleaner is just sitting on the intake manifold for the photo, as there is no carb installed.

Funky colors are all the rage these days, and this car with a completed interior in running condition would be quite compelling. Buying a Pantera that can be test driven is a slightly safer bet than buying one that cannot, but there aren;t many safe bets in the DeTomaso world. Buy this one for the love and make it roadworthy. It deserves it.
