1972 De Tomaso Pantera Push Button French collector’s vehicle registration certificate Chassis No.: THPNLL01056 5-speed manual transmission Mileage: 20,091 (not guaranteed) Passed technical inspection First unveiled to the public in 1970, the De Tomaso Pantera represents an exceptional fusion of Italian design expertise and American mechanical power. It is the quintessential 1970s supercar and remains one of the most enjoyable cars to drive even today. The brainchild of Alejandro De Tomaso, it combines a sporty chassis with a Ford V8 Cleveland engine, offering a rare blend of performance, character, and reliability. The Pantera remains a highly sought-after car, and this “Push Button” version is from the earliest production runs. This Pantera underwent a complete restoration by L’Atelier Classique in Beaune, fully documented in three binders detailing the various stages of the work. Each step was carefully monitored to preserve the spirit and original characteristics of this Italian sports car. The mechanical components were also fully restored, with the engine block replaced by a 351 Cleveland with four crankshaft mounting bolts, in accordance with the original specifications. The stainless steel exhaust system was also replaced, maintaining the original configuration. Both the upholstery and the interior are in remarkable condition. Now presented in exceptional condition, this De Tomaso Pantera offers a rare experience: that of a true 1970s supercar, combining the charm of Italian design, the sound of an American V8, and a powertrain engineered for driving pleasure. Purchasing this model means reliving what the first owner experienced on May 15, 1972, when he drove it out of the Ford dealership.
