The distinctive vehicle in question is a 1972 DeTomaso Pantera, a sleek Italian-American hybrid manufactured by Ford under the DeTomaso marque. This striking example, hailing from Davenport, Iowa, stands out with its aggressive design, featuring a low-slung body composed of lightweight steel around a spaceframe chassis, and distinctive pop-up headlights tucked behind Perspex covers. Under its long, sloping hood beats an American muscle at heart: Ford's powerful 351 Cleveland V8 engine, producing roughly 260 horsepower. The car's performance is further enhanced by its transaxle arrangement and unique five-speed ZF manual gearbox, all encased in a body that exemplifies the late-60s/early-70s wedge-shaped design trend.
