This is not a Pantera specific issue. Ride behind any domestic carbureted V-8 and you will get the same wonderful aroma. It brings me back to my misspent youth with muscle cars and my first Pantera.
On another aroma issue. The smell of fine Italian “pleather” when you first open up your cat after a few days or more does seem Pantera specific. Not sure how DeTomaso did this but I remember this same aroma from the first Pantera back in 75.
Now that this thread bears NO resemblance to the original, (thanks Jeff!) I don't feel so bad to include...
My Herrig seats are indeed leather but do not 'smell' anything like the leather in my other car, which is THAT superb old library leather smell. I took the scraps from that car's reupholstery and put them under Gary's seats. Left the car a few days and the next time in... Voila! Made a difference.
My 'old' pure vinyl interior had the typical Pantera smell, so unquestionably that 'wonderful aroma' is coming from the seats... which are being completely redone at the moment.
