1973 DeTomaso Pantera

The entire rotating assembly was balanced, and the ZF 5-speed manual transaxle has also been rebuilt. Additional modifications and refurbishment included installing 17� Campagnolo wheels, stainless brake lines, a refreshed interior, and a rebuilt steering rack. The car was repainted in its original shade of orange some time ago and maintains a nice gloss in photographs. Some small cracks are present near the door hinges, and overspray is noted on some of the rubber. Chips and slight cracks around the deck lid are shown in the gallery. Beginning in 1973, black rubber bumpers replaced the earlier chrome units. 17� Campagnolo wheels are fitted with Dunlop 225/45 tires in front and Pirelli 335/35s out back. Chrome-wrapped Veglia instrumentation appears intact, and the 80k miles shown on the odometer are believed accurate. The A/C condenser, compressor, and rear trunk liner were removed to accommodate the upgraded headers, though they are included in the sale. Between 2006-2010, the Cleveland V8 was bored to 383ci and modified. The ZF 5-speed manual transaxle was also rebuilt and fitted with a new clutch. The engine bay was coated in Linex and the fuel tank was sandblasted and coated. Crank, rods, pistons, flywheel, pressure plate, and dampener were balanced by West Coast Balance Shop of Santa Ana, California.
