This 1971 De Tomaso Pantera (chassis THPNLS01801) is scruffy and will require rust repair but is said to run and drive. Fitted with rebuilt heads, a new clutch and much more detailed below, the car has 68k miles and is said to be fully functional and ready for final finishing work. Find it here on eBay, in Santa Ana, California with no reserve.

Visible in the photo below are Hall wheels, which replaced the OE Cromodoras at some point. The seller details recent suspension and brake work, as well new hoses, belts, fuel pump, starter, alternator, and an aluminum radiator, noting that the car exhibits no overheating issues.

Interior condition looks to be consistent with the car’s claimed mileage, although a thorough cleaning and detail would certainly help. The original steering wheel has been replaced with an aftermarket example and seats were sourced from a Corvette Z06. Additional center-console gauges look to have supplanted the vertically-oriented factory audio head unit.

The seller notes the installation of new rear suspension bushings, ball joints, and U-joints. This partial view shows the underbody to be in relatively good shape. Additionally, no fluid weeping or leakage is immediately apparent.

While the passenger door sill rust-through shown in the photo below isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker, we’d certainly opt for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, given the Pantera’s build complexity and its known susceptibility to tin worm.

No engine shots are provided, unfortunately. This Ford-powered Italian-American hybrid certainly needs some attention, but its no-reserve status virtually guarantees that it will find a new owner. Hagerty’s current #4 valuation places a similar car at $50,400, and bidding currently sits at just under $31k with a little over four days left bidding.
