This is a highly modified 1972 DeTomaso Pantera.
This car is prepared for racing, it has been constructed with thousands of dollars of performance enhancements and uncounted hours of build time from what we understand. We purchased the car in auction as it is now. We were going to create a race team and use this for our first race car however we are heavily involved in restorations at the moment and there are no good road courses on Long Island.
There is an aluminum SVO stroked 427 cu in engine with Eagle steel crank and connecting rods, Yates aluminum heads and competition roller cam. No expense was spared on the power plant and traditional over-heating issues with the Pantera have been corrected with SCT oil pump, Canton road race oil pan, remote oil cooler and aluminum radiator with heavy duty cooling fans. I believe there is a 7AL ignition system installed and the car runs on C-16 race fuel.
The ZF transaxle has been improved with Timken bearings and hydraulic throw-out bearings. The suspension has been improved with Koni shocks and stopping power provided by Wilwood racing brakes and rotors. It has 2 fire extinguishers, a 4-post bolt-in roll cage and quick release steering provided for safety when driven on track days. The flared wheel arches have been riveted in to accommodate 18x10 and 18x13 CCW Classic wheels and competition tires. An extra set of rain tires and wheels are included. (The badging suggests this is a Pantera GTS however the VIN shows that it is not in fact a GTS).
There is a brand new triple disc race clutch and throw-out bearing that has been installed. This car is ready to race apart from needing new tires. We leave that up to the buyer for your specific needs.
This Pantera represents a chance to own an Italian super car at a fraction of the original investment cost. The car has not been tested on the dyno but I believe it puts down over 600bhp and enough torque to speed up the rotation of planet earth.
Please PM me for many more photos and details as I could only upload 1 photo.
