Starting at a little under $10,000 in 1971–roughly $64,000 today–the De Tomaso Pantera was able to significantly undercut European rivals like Ferrari and Lamborghini, though early examples were often noted as having at least a few teething issues. The Pantera would still be a success, however, as more than 5000 examples were sold …
Why would someone put rubber baby buggy bumpers on a 71/72 Pantera?
I owned a '71 Pantera, red.
While the article on the Pantera is interesting, the example shown is not close to being representative of a first year Pantera. There are many who know these cars well and could provide a good, stock example for an article - although original Panteras are rare. Perhaps consult the community for future articles to ensure accuracy. You could do better.
Colin,
That Pantera is an"L" model, not a first year. First year Panteras had chrome bumperettes in front and rear. Transition L models had the shark nose front and some had chrome rear bumpers, most Ls had the black bumpers front and rear.
