THIS IS A FULL BLOWN RACE CAR, NOT A STREET CAR!
It is a 1971 Detomaso Pantera. The car was built in the early 1990's and campaigned up until 2000 when the owner retired. The car has had every effort made to make it the lightest it could be. The body was acid dipped before being put together, a full role cage was created with 2 inch chrome moly tubing that was professionally tig welded. The floor has been lowered and inch to allow a taller driver to race the car. The front compartment holds the fuel cell and a complete fire suppression system. The cover was custom made out of aluminum to save weight. The rear engine cover is a one of a kind fiberglass piece molded for the owner to again save weight.
The Engine is a NASCAR spec. Ford 351C engine putting out 650 HP. Its current tune is to 14/1 compression and requires 116 octane fuel. It was completely rebuilt and tuned in the last year in preparation for bringing it to one of the Barret Jackson Auctions. The owner has records showing more then $60,000.00 into the engine alone. The car comes with and extra set of headers and mufflers due to restrictions some tracks have to noise.
The transmission is a beefed up version of the 5-speed ZF transmission that comes in a Pantera. It is matted to a duel plate racing clutch that is adjusted and ready to go.
During its racing years the car was never beaten in its class, earning it the nickname "Ferrari and Corvette Killer". The car was the overall Winner at Pocono in 1996 beating not only every car in its own class but all others as well. The Dom Perignon bottle is included in the price. At that same race the car was clocked at 206 mph on the front straight away.
This car is not for the faint of heart. The race car does have tail lights, but doesn't have any headlights. It is a two seater with the passenger having there own, non adjustable, racing seat with 5 point racing harness. Video of the build of the car may be available but is in an old format and would require converting. Also available is in car video of races it competed in.
Asking price for this RACE car is $150,000.00 dollars. I am available online at jn300zx@yahoo.com. thank you.
