Automatic Transmissioned Panteras

DeTomaso did make automatic tranny cars. Just not the Pantera.
But I have given it a lot of thought, and if you want, I will convert your Pantera for you.

What are you going to convert the Pantera into, a Lamborghini?

Doug, There was the 3 seat Pantera that had a v6 Masarati engine. Maybe that was the auto?

?

You know ..the third seat http://pantera.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/765004...950053323#6950053323

Oh no Doug, not me. I was thinking more along the lines of C/Gass NHRA or bracket raceing. It would go something like this, about a half dozen of those disposable 351 windsors running 3000 horse off twin turbos, on of those tricked out, short case powerglide hooked to a Ford 9" detroit locker rear end. 23" wide wrinkle wall slicks, full roll cage, gutted interior, three inch wide fronts and line lock tranny, on of them bracket racing computer control boxes and all the fixins. I figure we can get her in to the sixes. What do ya think??

I heard a story that Detomaso was or did make automatic transmissioned cars,

I know the Longchamps came with an automatic. Deauvilles too?

But Panteras..never heard of it.

Gary Hall did a couple of automatics a few years back. They were Renault units, I think, but were not so sucessful. couldn't handle the torque.

The three seat Pantera was a manual car, though it wasn't a ZF as far as saw it when I visited the factory in 2002. All Deauvilles were automatics but I do know that Roland converted one to a ZF manual. The LOngchamps were mostly automatics, about 24 were originally made with a ZF manual.
