Mitchell Curated is offering this De Tomaso Pantera Group 4/5, one of the most unique sports cars of the ‘70s, for sale.
The De Tomaso Pantera has earned a spot amongst the icons of its era, and this former Moretti and MOMO Group 4/5 Pantera, which also competed in the 1972 24 Hours of Le Mans, is particularly special.
Alejandro de Tomaso, an Argentinian racing driver and enthusiast, founded De Tomaso in 1959. Although the company was originally Argentinian, the factory was located in Modena, Italy and the Pantera would be essentially an Italian-American combination, partly due to Ford’s acquisition of the Ghia design house and the American Tom Tjaarda. Gian Paolo Dallara designed the chassis and De Tomaso used a Ford 5.7-liter V8, good for 330 hp.
This Pantera, chassis 02343, is one of only fourteen built by De Tomaso in Group 4 configuration. It was piloted by MOMO founder Gianpiero Moretti, including in the 1973 World Sportscar Championship.
It would gain even more distinctive characteristics with an upgrade to Group 5 specifications in 1976 and it is the only Group 5 variant produced by De Tomaso itself. In this configuration, Ruggero Parpinelli competed in the Giro d’Italia.
