Details

1972 Pantera pre-L with 29,050 actual miles finished in red over black, powered by a 351ci Cleveland V8 engine mated to a 5-speed manual ZF transmission. The dash retains its original Becker Europa AM/FM stereo, which is mounted vertically alongside the auxiliary gauges and a factory tool kit. Sold new in California the car stayed with its original owner until 1989. The second owner removed the original 351ci engine, built and installed a new 351ci Cleveland with a full-roller camshaft, lifters and rocker arms, MSD ignition, Edelbrock intake manifold, Holley 750cfm carburetor, and a custom exhaust. At that time the car was repainted in its original color of red with a glass-out, bare-metal repaint in single-stage enamel to a very high standard. The full sorting of the car includes a rechrome of the bumpers and various trim pieces. Additional features include a fully sorted cooling system, a new water pump, new hoses, belts, recored radiator, new OEM reservoir tanks, all-new brake lines, calipers, brake pads, fully sorted electrical, turn signals, hazard flashers and new headlight motors and gears. The air conditioning was also converted to R134A. All work by the current owner was conducted by Mike Higgins of Vehicle Performance Center in Phoenix, AZ. Higgins is a nationally known guru in the Pantera community and personally spent over 131 hours of work on this car. No detail was left unattended. This Pantera comes with the removed original engine and other spare parts, documentation dating back to the first owner, the original California Blue Plate, an owner's manual and the Window Sticker addendum.
