This 1971 De Tomaso Pantera certainly doesn’t exist a second time in the world! Built by Dave Adelman and, with minor modifications, by White Post Restorations the one-off is not only exorbitantly wide, but also quite unusually motorized. Under the hood is not the factory 351 cubic inch Ford Cleveland V8 engine with 305 hp, but a modern LS7 from the General Motors shelf, with lots of modifications and a G50 transmission from a Porsche 911 from the period 1984 to 1989. The Modifications to the powerplant were made by Texas-based Thompson Motorsports and include Mast Motorsports cylinder heads, a Harrop Engineering intake system with eight individual throttle bodies and even a special dry-sump oil system. While there's currently no word on how much power the engine actually produces, it's safe to say it's likely to outperform a stock 7bhp LS505.
GP Headers Inc. 8-in-1 exhaust system
And even more impressive than the tuned LS7 is the GP Headers Inc. manufactured 8-into-1 exhaust system coupled to the powerplant. The headers and exhaust combine under the engine and merge into a single thick exhaust pipe. While it's kind of an odd decision, there's no denying that it looks phenomenal with the hood down and will most certainly have some engineering pedigree too. And of course the aforementioned Harrop Engineering single throttle system made of carbon, which is located in the middle of the exhaust setup, also plays a large part in the spectacular look under the hood. Of course, the vehicle has been completely restored and rebuilt, and the body has been widened on both sides in the style of the GT5 and wrapped in a two-tone paint finish (blue/white).
Fender flares all around the Pantera
The strongly flared fender flares are seamlessly integrated into the body and they are perfectly absorbed by the front apron and the side skirts. In the course of the bodywork, the door handles were also removed and there are no other unnecessary decorative strips or other applications on the unique classic. Incidentally, the rear end is underlined by a ducktail spoiler lip and the front flap has two large air openings. In the style of the Ringbrothers 608 PS De Tomaso Pantera ARDNLN Restomod (Link below) the headlights are also new and from now on NO longer installed as a fold-out variant, but firmly integrated. By the way, a sports brake system from Wilwood now ensures a decent delay.
Toyo Proxes R88R tires all around
The completely new chassis comes from Nitron Racing and the safety tank is from the manufacturer Pyrotect. It continues with a forged wheel set in black, unfortunately unknown to us, which is equipped with Toyo Proxes R88R rubbers and there were certainly some changes in the cabin. However, photos of the interior are currently missing. And so we can only see what the images reveal from the outside. And unfortunately that's not a lot. New bucket seats seem to be installed and the dashboard is apparently equipped with a white instrument cluster and painted ventilation nozzles. Unfortunately, more is currently not to be seen. If we get more information about the changes, there is of course an update for this report. You will be informed of this if you simply use ours Feed subscribe to. Have fun watching the pictures and stay true to us!
