This 1972 DeTomaso Pantera is a Lusso model that was first delivered to Al Packer Lincoln-Mercury in Baltimore, Maryland, and is finished in Yellow over a black vinyl interior. Power is provided by a 351ci V8 paired with a five-speed manual transaxle, and additional equipment includes a Holley carburetor, an Edelbrock intake manifold, an Alpine cassette stereo, power windows, quad exhaust outlets, and 15″ Campagnolo alloy wheels.
The car left the factory finished in Yellow (1) and was reportedly repainted in the early 2010s. The car retains Lusso black front and rear bumpers as well as a finned panel covering the fuel filler.
Silver-finished 15″ Campagnolo alloy wheels wear DeTomaso center caps and are mounted with Goodyear tires measuring 195/65 up front and 255/60 out back. A temporary spare with a DeTomaso cover is stored in the rear cargo compartment. Braking is handled by power-assisted front and rear discs. Two wheelhouse panels were replaced in 2018.
The seats are trimmed in black vinyl and paired with a matching dashboard, center console, and door panels. Features include a dogleg-pattern gated shifter, air conditioning, power windows, and an older Alpine cassette stereo mounted vertically in the center stack paired with Pioneer speakers mounted in the door panels. The shifter boot was replaced under current ownership.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts Veglia Borletti instrumentation consisting of a 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for amperage, fuel level, water temperature, and oil pressure housed within the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 34k miles.
The Ford-sourced 351ci V8 features a Holley carburetor, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and a blue-painted air cleaner and finned Ford Motorsport valve covers. The cylinder heads were reportedly refurbished under previous ownership, and the oil pressure sender was replaced in September 2018.
A ZF five-speed manual transaxle sends power to the rear wheels. The clutch, flywheel, shift trunnion, clutch cylinders, and throwout and pilot bearings were replaced in September 2018 by Extreme Pantera of Bellweather, California.
