[DeTomaso] white P for sale

[Christopher Kimball]

At one of the car shows I attended last summer, the winner out of all the Panteras there was a cream-colored, almost completely original model.
 
Although stock is pretty neat, I prefer the twin-turbo, tire-melting variety of Pantera, as long as the inherent beauty of the exterior isn't bastardized.
