The GT5 variant of the De Tomaso Pantera was introduced at the Turin Motor Show in 1980, featuring fiberglass wheel arch extensions, front and rear spoilers, side skirts, improved air intakes, larger brakes, wider wheels, and a more refined and luxurious interior. This 1984 example is finished in red over a brown leather interior and derives power from a 351ci Cleveland V8 mated to a gated 5-speed manual transaxle. Originally delivered in Canada, this Pantera was purchased by the current owner in 2018 and is now being offered for auction out of New York.
Based on a steel monocoque chassis, the Pantera’s bodywork was designed by Carrozzeria Ghia's American-born designer Tom Tjaarda. This example is finished in red and can be identified as a GT5 version by its wide bonded and riveted fiberglass wheelarch flares, front spoiler, side skirts, and rear wing. Equipment includes gloss black front and rear bumpers, pop-up headlamps, integrated fog lights, a vented hood, dual mirrors, a roof spoiler, polished quad exhaust tips, and 15” Campagnolo wheels. The seller describes the exterior as being in excellent condition and notes the tire rubber is a bit hard, but no dry rot is visible. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin is appointed with ruffled tan leather upholstery, dark brown carpeting, and wood veneer rim on the dashboard, door panels, and center console. Accessories include a three-spoke MOMO Prototipo steering wheel, a dog-leg pattern gated shifter, power windows, air conditioning, Veglia Borletti instrumentation, an Alpine stereo, aftermarket speakers, and De Tomaso logo floor mats. The seller notes the air conditioning system is currently inoperable.
A mid-mounted 351ci Ford Cleveland pushrod V8 delivers up to 350 HP and 220 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transaxle. The GT5 was equipped with larger disc brakes than the standard Pantera and accelerated from 0-60 MPH in approximately 5.2 seconds. The seller indicates the clutch and bearing were replaced under their ownership and the car is in excellent mechanical condition for the next owner.
This sale will include a toolkit, a spare tire, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “The car is ready and able to drive anywhere, with no known issues.”

The seller states: "A mid-mounted 351ci Ford Cleveland pushrod V8 delivers up to 350 HP and 220 lb-ft of torque. Somehow I suspect the torque is wrong...
What is the condition of all the gauges, lights, switches, knobs for the controls in the interior? Any issues or known malfunctioning? Are the power windows etc, all working well or any slow motors etc? How about the AC? Does is blow cold air or is it unable to be recharged etc?
1. Has the engine ever been overhauled?
2. Is this a numbers matching vehicle?
Please can you post photo showing:
3. Engine number.
4. Service records, if any. Thanks.

1984 was a standout year for the Pantera, a vehicle that always turns heads. It's the only vehicle I know where the transmission is more valuable than the engine. My 1972 Pantera had a driving position that was a bit strange and took some time to get used to. The footwell was tight (notice the Driver's carpet soiled), and the steering column/seating was off-center. But the Pantera's ability to attract attention is truly unparalleled—no data in the 1994 Pantera Registry. Great vehicle, good luck with the sale!
