1981 De Tomaso Pantera - 5.7 V8 GTS - German Delivered - Matching Numbers

Italian flair, American power

There are cars that make your chest hair grow faster and instantly make you want to grow a mustache. The De Tomaso Pantera GTS is one of them.

For anyone who thinks life is a quiet, subtle affair, we have bad news: this car is a rolling masterpiece of chaos and charm. Passion, power, and Italian flair — it all comes together beautifully.

Born in Modena with a pounding heart from Detroit, the Pantera GTS blends a fiery Italian soul with a roaring 5.8-liter Ford V8. This isn’t the “best of both worlds,” but rather a marriage between two lunatics who light a match together, start a barbecue, and end up serving you the best steak you’ve ever tasted.

It’s not your average supercar — it’s a car that dictates the rules instead of following them. Its performance puts even the latest models to shame, while its looks are so sharp you could slice an avocado with them.

Our Pantera GTS, delivered in 1981, is an icon that has been cared for with real passion. It’s a rare German first delivery — remarkable, since most Panteras went to the U.S. to unleash mayhem. This example has always been in good hands, with only four owners in more than 40 years. For the past eight years, it has lived in a private collection of top-tier exotic sports cars, where it has been meticulously maintained. From engine to paint, everything is in exceptional condition.

Do you dare tame it?

Come by — but be warned, it won’t let you go.
