1974 De Tomaso Other

1974 Detomaso Pantera. This is a documented original vehicle. 19900 miles. with 3 owners in it's past. I purchased this car from a private collector in Arizona 5 years ago. This Pantera was concourse restored 26 years ago. It's hard to believe. and it's very obvious it was well cared for as the photos show. It's meticulous. I have never washed it. just like my other cars. Just careful air dusting. and occasional damp terry cloth. Rarely rarely driven. It's just to dang pretty and I didn't want to get it dirty. mostly because it's hard to keep in it's pristine condition. I trailered it to Hollister's 30th annual car show. with 250 cars on display just a few months ago. It took Best of Show. It didn't surprise me
What is surprising that after 26 years of restoration. it still takes best of show. It has a significant history of 1st places. in some very prestigious concourse de elegance's. and other big shows. including:

It has it's original motor. and drivetrain. All glass is original date coded. correct chassis and original metal. The paint is extremely nice. all body gaps are perfect and mechanically it's sound and well sorted. It wears custom one-off Boyd Coddington wheels (made in Boyd's early career) and Goodyear Eagle's. Nice italian glove leather interior.  
This is truly a special car. with only a handful in the world like it. I'm lucky to have owned it. It was a boyhood dream. I did it. now. it can be someone else's dream car.
