  • One of the prettiest sports car designs of all time! Very nice proportions and very aggressive.
  • When I was a kid in the 70’s my dad’s friend had a Pantera and I’ve loved cars ever since. One of the great marriages of European design and American muscle.

    Whoever says money can't buy happiness has not seen that garage.
  • @rexpayne7836
    I used to see one in Australia in the 70s and instantly fell in love.
  • @dontask8979
    The rear view of those cars are timeless. The exhaust, the gearbox, those tires.... Nothing better.
  • @TheRealCoyote
    Love the car. Love that guy. Just a genuine, knowledgeable enthusiast. And the passion just oozes out of him. Joy to watch.
  • As soon as a classic appears on Jay’s Garage the price instantly goes up.
  • @WhuDhat
    That spec is just wonderful imo, the paint, the wheels, the chrome, it just all fits so well, and is visually pleasing.

    I've had my 1972 Pantera since I was 17 years old. I'm 58 now and still own it. It's currently being completely restored to stock and will be back on the road soon. I've changed out the seats, the originals were back killers, and I've replaced the cooling system, but other than that, she's stock. THPNMG03317

    I saw my first Pantera at a stoplight in Beverly Hills, CA. It was 1971 and I was 20 years old and in the military. My friend and I were totally blown away by the looks and sound of this amazing looking super car. When the light changed, the Pantera literally looked like it lifted off the ground and zoomed away. Never forgot that image and the Pantera made its indelible mark on me...

    I saw my first Pantera in about 1972. I was hooked. I know they had problems but the first years were fabulous. It's still one of love to own...
  • My Dentist retired and owns a Pantera. I picture him driving down PCH with a Great Big Smile on his face! Nicely Done Doc..🙏👍😁👍

    This Mike dude is epic! When a man gets obsessed; he becomes a force of nature...Jay and Mike; two forces blending well...
  • @golden_boi77
    I love how the rear wheels bulge out of the body... wow!
  • @usergvhhyu1223
    This guest was AMAZING! This is the kinda guy I want as my next door neighbor.....sharp, unfiltered and down to earth.....ask him for ANY tool....he has it.
  • @da443-galmond4
    I wanted that car when I was a kid...just because of the sound of the exhaust. Even today, the sound from that exhaust...brings a smile to my face.

    I just spent the day, yesterday, with Mike Drew and his wife, cruising around the backroads of eastern Ontario in our Ford-powered sports cars: DeTomaso Pantera, and Longchamp and my Cobra. Super-nice guy. Glad to have met him.

    I remember seeing one of these when I was 13 years old, putting shingles on a roof of a rich person's place with my Dad. It was yellow, just sitting in the driveway, looking sad that I wasn't driving it. I remember seeing that it had a Ford engine, and thinking that was strange. I have never forgotten that car. This video was a real treat. You can tell that guy is passionate as Hell about them.
  • @chie1709
    I feed off of Jay’s LOVE of cars and stories of the cars. We love you Jay!
  • @rand007
    Jay makes a important point....buy from a club owner not from just anyone.
