[DeTomaso] My '72 Pantera for Sale

[Matt Bradley]

After 17 years, my Pantera is going up for sale.  I love the car, but priorities have shifted.  I'd like to avoid putting it up on bringatrailer.com , and deal direct with a buyer, and save them some money.  But I may go that route at some point.  Asking $85K.  Car is located in Tulsa, OK.  Mike Drew has been in it several times and can vouch for it.
It was a featured Pantera International car in Fall 2000, with the former owner, whom I bought it from.  PI used to have part of the article online, but it got removed over the years. Have to use the wayback machine to see that, but it's a good little article with some good pics.  If you're interested, let me know, and I can send you some more pictures.
