I have a front brake rotor that a buyer in Sweden wants to purchase. Mine is for the front and he needs a rear. Are the fronts and rears the same? Any help would be appreciated. ArnieRead More...

Hi i would like to make my Mangusta tyres web page better. Currently I don’t think it is right. However it is difficult. https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/classic-car-tyres/de-tomaso/mangusta.html do you guys know what the original wheel and tyre set up on these cars was? Because they are such rare cars data is difficult to come by . I have some old books from period that say 185-15 front and 225-15 Rear . do you know what brand and tread? i think there are a lot of low profile tyres out...Read More...

I have installed a Holley double pumper early last year. it happens now twice that by turning on the engine that smoke came out of the air filter, the foam looks like grilled. The car drive well at certain speed but turns of by stopping. Is the carb wrong adjusted only, or possibly the valves as well ? thanks, UliRead More...

Very nicely presented 74 at Legendary Motors. I just may have to eventually take mine back to the stock orange color. https://www.legendarymotorcar.com/inventory/1974-de-tomaso-pantera-2155.aspxRead More...

I am searching for a driver's side engine cover. The one with the bulge for the external fuel filler neck. It's the bottom one in the diagram below. Mike Mayberry has a bunch of the earlier style covers but I am hoping to find the correct one for my car.Read More...

I found this switch in spare parts. It seems to be different then the switch I have in my 1973. The Part number on it is 70EB--13335-A1A. 8 wire connector. Is this worth anything to anyone. I doubt it works. Why else would it be in the spare parts pile I got with the car when I bought it. Feels OK.Read More...

#9634 sold earlier this month for $357,000 USD at the Ameila Island 2020 Goodings auction. It is claimed that this car was the one displayed at the 1991 Frankfurt Motor Show by De Tomaso. It spent most of its life in the Netherlands and has only 308 km on it. https://www.goodingco.com/vehicle/1991-de-tomaso-pantera-90-si/Read More...

I've been told that my Pantera # 1791 has an M1 Transmission identified by the Flat Shaped Bell Housing. The ID tag states that it is a Dash 2. Does anyone know what the difference is ?Read More...

For sale is the former Pantera of Ace Mechanic and POCA technical contributor, Jack Richards. He owned this car from 1978-2005 and made this car as user friendly as possible to drive while also being extremely easy to service. The car is a work of art. It looks like a stock Euro Pantera on the outside, but gives the essence of the GT40 experience from the driver's seat, while being much easier to drive and live with compared to those legendary cars. I am the 4th owner and have owned the car...Read More...

My 408 Stroker engine is almost ready to put in the enginebay and fire up. But before I do that, I've tried turning the engine over, while still laying on the pallet. But...... My OEM starter can't turn the engine over, when I have more than two sparkplugs in it.... The combination Original starter / 10.5 compression seems to be a bad cocktail. So I may need a mini / Hi-Torque starter. But what to buy ? Summit have a ton of different starters. I've been looking at the Powermaster 9604. But...Read More...

Hi Gang, One of the many items I'm inspecting this winter is the cooling system on my car. I already found a non-stock thermostat and restrictor plate, and the caps on the system tanks may be another possible deviation from stock... But first and foremost, how can I tell if the filler necks on my tanks are US spec or European spec? There must be a measurement I can make, no? Meanwhile, here's a photo of my leaky main tank: It has a older Stant 13 PSI cap on it now, it's obviously not sealing...Read More...

I found the best way to address the current unfolding crisis was to totally isolate in the garage. For a minimum of 14 days. What a surprise - an Pantera requiring reassembly! After scrabbling through the parts compost heap I came across these two parts that I am struggling to see the purpose of. Any Ideas from the brains trust ?Read More...

I bought a pair of these on eBay and modified one to adjust the valves with the engine running. I don't need the other one and it's free. It is taller than stock valve covers. Just pay shipping or pick up in Cypress, CA.Read More...

Don't be too overwhelmed by the C8's performance. Hennessy performance just ran the C8 Vette at 164 mph in the mile. Not to be outdone, I ran my '73 Pantera at 170+ mph in the standing mile at SORC , Arnold, NE. 2018. Altitude was approx. 2,500' higher for me. MarkRead More...
