1972 DeTomaso Pantera
The story
The 1972 De Tomaso Pantera, a collaborative effort between De Tomaso and Ford, was a mid-engine sports car sold through Lincoln-Mercury dealerships. It blended Italian design with a powerful American Ford 351 Cleveland engine. The Pantera was known for its sleek, exotic styling and relatively affordable price compared to other European sports cars of the time.

Paint
Color is called “Migreene” from our paintline “Modern Classikk by Kindig powered by Sikkens.” The color name is a play on words because this green is so bright it will give you a migraine, meant to call back to its original bright green color.
