Just heard about a red '74 Pantera that's just found its way out of storage in Adelaide that is apparently an ex custom order and Australian delivered by and for Frank Sinatra.

Kinda cool story, but was interested in what others may know...

There is a Deauville that he had specially modded for a '74 tour that had a price tag of 28K (AU) and with the Sinatra mods made it 50k (AU) in 74.

So he had a DeTomaso of some sort here being the Deauville, but does anyone know anything about a Pantera?

I'm working on getting a chassis # and see what comes from that....

What I'd heard was that this one was sent out as a kit if you like and converted to RHD by the agents here - I haven't seen it (yet), but the guy I was talking to said the brake booster was still on the LHS of the car...

The story was, it was sent out and converted so he could use it as his personal car while he was in Australia.

Cool story, and would awesome if its true!

There is proper footage as you'd have seen of the Deauville he had sent out... so anything is possible.

Where in the hills are you? And, do you have a DeTomaso? My Pantera is not too far (hopefully) off being registered. We should catch up - I'm in Belair!
Ahhhh - the black Mangusta I saw at the Motorsport Festival a couple of years back?

And, I reckon its just been in at Veloce getting some work done?(I know Cos one of the mechanics there pretty well - our girls went to school together)

It must be terrible driving that around those lovely back roads Wink .
