Magnus Jinstrand's 72 Pantera | The De Tomaso Forums

I was flipping through the March 2011 issue of "Hot Rod" while sitting in the library this morning and stumbled across an article about Magnus Jinstrand's blown V12 Mercedes powered Cobra kit car.

In the 'garage' picture, you can see he also owns a very nice looking 72 Pantera. Looks like he really likes that silver/grey color!

Another pic of the Pantera owned by Magnus - it's an older pic (2008), so don't know if it's the same car before being painted silver/grey. Chuck Melton reported that his registry has pictures of this car with the same plates as the silver car, so likely been repainted since this picture. But I've gotta say, I REALLY like it in orange!

Anyway, does anyone know more about Magnus and/or his Pantera? He's got a lot of nice toys, including his Pantera!

A nice guy, with toys. He showed up with a friend at the Reno Fun Rally in 2011, and said friend proceeded to win the go-kart race, with Magnus right behind. So he can drive, too. FWIW, he mentioned that the blown V-12 Cobra runs kind of warm & needs some more development so it fits in with the Pantera...
