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.”

@Autotrend AC WAS WORKING WHEN I PURCHASED IT, THEN SAT IN THE GARAGE FOR A FEW YEARS SO IM THINKING A SMALL LEAK SOMEWHERE.
@ApRhysCasgliad ALL THE GAUGES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND ALL WORK PROPERLY, AC NEEDS TO BE RECHARGED, HEAT WORKS PROPERLY, ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORK AS THEY SHOULD, ELECTRIC WINDOWS WORK PROPERLY.
@MikeVisual I DO NOT HAVE A DRIVING VIDEO AT THE MOMENT, THE DAY I TOOK THE PHOTOS I DROVE TO THE GAS STATIONWITH NO ISSUES. IT IS A NUMBER MATCHING CAR ENGINE WAS SERVICED NOT OVERHAULED, I REPLSCED THE CLUTCH A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
Such a nice car! I owned a '74 L for several years. As mentioned, the ZF is the most expensive part of this car. Fortunately, my car's ZF was rebuilt and safety wired. It's hard to find a Pantera in this apparent shape, as many have rust particularly in the rocker area and near the rear wheels. A/C being inoperable is not that uncommon, mind was too. Best advice to potential bidder/buyer, contact the local POCA chapter where the car is located and reach out to that president to see if anyone in the local chapter is familiar with this car. I was fortunate to have my (free) PPI done by several folks in my local chapter and they really knew their stuff. Happy bidding everyone. These are really fun cars!
@r32fan I DO NOT HAVE A DRIVING VIDEO AT THE MOMENT, ONLY THE VIDEO OF THE CAR RUNNING. THE DAY OF THE PHOTO TAKEN I DID DRIVE THE CAR TO THE GAS STATION.
Engine torque should be very similar to hp; torque is about 100 foot lbs off. The A/C is inoperable; are all the components there and just doesn't function? When was the car painted, the paint looks incredible.
can you please elaborate more on the a/c being inoperable. why would you not address this on a car such as this?

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?

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!
