The design of the Pantera was so ahead of it's time! Beautiful custom touches to this one!
Yes it was sooooo ahead and so agressive and so beautiful !!!
Actually the best looking car i have ever seen!
Seeing that engine behind you in the cabin like that is absolutely SICK. It’s basically in your ear!
Like being strapped to a rocket
Yup buddy 🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻🆒🆒
if it blows up though... I mean, if it is built right, then it shouldn't do that, but you never know.
@@ForzaMonkey so you want the giant metal flinging fireball to be in front of you as your traveling a over 100 mph down the freeway? Smoke bellowing and blocking your view and suffocating you as your slamming the brakes, hoping to god that you don’t hit something?
@@evildrizzt1 good point, but not the point I was making. I just mean that the plexiglass could break (does it do that? I'm not a plexiglass expert), and glass or plastic shrapnel would be a pain to get out of your skin (literally).
edits: spelling, added a couple words to the end of the reply
Trying to merge these two iconic cars is a slippery slope but this guy nailed it! Great video!
he done a good job however in my opinion the Pantera is a beautiful car as is the GT. I wouldn't have done that to a Pantera.
Slippery slope?
So awesome. That exhaust crossover makes the car sound even more exotic then it looks. What a great build. Love everything about it. The Pantera, in my opinion, is one of the greatest supercars ever built!
Such a sinister car. That idle will
Make lesser cars scatter.
I agree completely. Great design with a reliable engine. I love the gated shifter. So ahead of its time; even Elvis owned one.
This is my favorite Pantera build. Incredible car.
Wow, just wow. This car is incredible. The body lines, The stance, the sound, amazing.
Love the GT front end, noticed that right away, sooo cool. This car was well thought out and built. I would love a ride it!
It's funny how almost all the owners of these cars claim they really love Panteras, yet they replace most of the car with aftermarket stuff. Even Jay Leno was on that bandwagon about his Pantera on his Garage episode on the car, while his guest was politely trying to explain to him that no, they really are good cars.
It’s a 50 year old car. Newer technology allows the timeless design to perform better
Replacing suspension, wheels, tires, better heads and intake or a Coyote swap or something, cool, but I would never, ever, graft different car model front clips or change the body to something else like this, this is entirely too far for me.... the Detomaso Pantera, especially the "narrow body" ones, are absolutely perfect the way they look already, they were, and still are one of the most gorgeous designed cars ever produced, this is crazy to me, but hey, it's not my car, it pains me, but it's not mine so all I have is my opinion 🤷♂️
Imo there's 2 camps. I won't buy a new ferrari but I'd rip the shit out of a 288 gto, but that car stays bone stock for being the 250 successor and just an all around killer car.
At the same time cubic inches and torque murder in American v8s. I'd have a pantera with a monster small block and modernized 40 years like my other grocery getter....a 69 continental body mounted on a new amg s63.
Pantera owners have fun but you wouldnt know ;)
I love the care he puts changing gears without throwing it, engine sounds so nice and bassy, love mature driving cars without wearing things before time.
wow, that's one of the most beautiful custom builds I've ever seen. love that car...& the sound
I absolutely love custom cars like this. I knew it was a pantera at first but then I realize he modded it well and mad it look good unlike some shows *cough*westcoastcustoms*cough*. Although some design choices like the belts inches away from your arm are kinda nuts this is still well done. Hopefully we get to see more cars like this.
That isn't a design choice...most just don't have a plexiglass window. My dad's 86 GT5s just has a fiberglass panel that is leather upholstered.
"Still a beast" 😍 transmits the same sensation of being staring at a magnificent black horse... Great tunning!
I've seen this car and it is, indeed, striking. I've owned my '72 Pantera for almost 25 years. And finally after many years of sorting out all of the bugs, I drive it every week. Picking it up today from having all new gauges installed that will finally light up enough for me to see at night, very excited. When I redid the entire interior in leather including dash, seats, and firewall, I installed C-4 Corvette seats that we custom built to have more bolstering and comfort, and they're just great! My exhaust also sounds to me to be quite a bit louder but that may just be the video's recording. These cars have a timeless design as few people believe my car is over 50 years old.
Great story and video.
Well I think I found it......this car happens to be the most beautiful super car I have ever seen.......the lines of this car.....I can't stop staring......
Maaaan, what an awesome ride. I know very few people who know what the Pantera is (not the band.) That’s some love and dedication to a very specific , unknown car. Killer job!
Dude this is so cool…imagination and hand work on this car is just another level…just a cool COOL CAR
Very kool & bad ass, a gorgeous combo of the two Ford classics, very nice!
I doubt you remember me but I was the guy over the years who talked about rebuilding his late grandfather's 65 mustang coupe and I haven't tuned in to the show for some time and this was an episode that inspired me to finish that build even more. Sadly with the funds, and living situation that car will never see the road again but one can hope to see their car or in my case, my late grandfather's car on here one day. That car was my grandparents first car together and my dad took my mom out on their first date in that car but I never got to see it run. I tore it apart and got some body work done to it and the interior stored away but had to stop there. My pops lost the motor and trans a long time ago in a weird situation, but I hope to one day at least see a 302 or coyote in it and close to original with some small personal touches
One very sweet car. The Pantera was a really underrated car back in the day. The combo looks great. Seeing the monster engine thru the window between the seats is really cool. Looks like a blast to drive too. Incredible workmanship. Be safe and stay well.
This may be my all-time Fav video from AutotopiaLA !
That exhaust note is music.
Always loved Panteras , coolest car I'v seen in a very long time . NICE !!!!!!!
I love it!!! Shawn’s like, is it comfortable sitting on the floor? Tony said, Not really!! LOL 😂😂😂. That was the first thing I noticed when I looked inside. 🔥🔥🔥
I absolutely love this channel.. 100% because cars like that
😲 OMFG
Yup me too👍🍾🍾🍾
My moms friend has a blue one very similar to this, these are beautiful cars and rare………..they also look even better in person. Gorgeous build right here!
Badder than Richard Rollings and the Ring Brothers built that one. Amazing! One of the baddest cars you ever filmed and it came from a normal dude. Your channel is the shii Bro!
Wow what a radical car
You're living my dream right there
I grew up loving Panteras. I had a poster on one on my wall. This is so much better. Nicest one I have seen.
Those were always gorgeous cars I know a guy here in Rochester NY that has a Yellow one sitting in his garage under cardboard boxes
this dude done built a life sized Hot Wheels car. He should enter it into the Legends Tour!
One Word - Magnificent
Could listen to that sound all day!
Yeah that is very nice of a car!!!!...2800lbs @ 600 hp omg that's crazy..This was a hell of a review!!
You just made my Friday.
WOW ! One of my dream cars. Excellent
Beautiful machine the American Italian car. For a guy who doesn't do this for a living great job
I saw this car on Instagram like a year and a half ago and I was waiting for you to have it on your channel, i knew it was coming because you review the coolest cars and this is definitely one!
Panteras are bad ass, I knew someone who had two of them. So sick.
This is the real “Darth Vader” car! Awesome build, dude & it sounds absolutely wicked!👍
You know when Shawn really likes a car..... just from his facial expressions. Great car
Beautiful car.Have to add this to the top 10 list
Those wide tires are cool. This guy steps on the gas and the car hooks up. No smoke it just takes off.
If this car could talk it would probably say "Welcome to the dark Side" badass built💪
Not sure how many dream cars I’ve seen on this channel, but this one is definitely added to the list. Wow!
Always loved the Pantera
My favourite car model. Thankyou for making this video mate.
Those Guys in that Black Ford Truck are Damm Lucky to Run into all these Cool Cars out on the Road !!!!!
Bad ass ride! Sounds so unique with those custom headers
Love that car, very nice job on he wide-body. Not overboard but definitely noticeable.
Wow. Beautiful. Dream car since childhood. Detomaso book. And poster on the wall. Combination Ford GT and Pantera. Beautiful idea. 600hp. Engine right behind. I'm speechless. ❤❤👍🙈🤩🤑🤑
Camilo Pardo was the lead designer for the Ford GT. I wonder what he would think of this sick build ?!
im sure he would love this.
Met him in L.A and he did like it. 👍🏻
@@73blkpntr awesome. ! I knew he would.
@@ericswires8534 Very cool guy.
@@73blkpntr for sure. I met him in 2019 at Designers Night in Detroit. His automotive paintings were stunning.
Cleanest and meanest and most badass Pantera I have ever seen.
This man is a legend in my book.
The GT front end makes sense because before the 2000s GT they thought this would be the replacement for the GT40. Awesome car. want one
One of the best sounding cars you’ve had on your channel! Very cool car.
Wow!! That sound!!! Awesome!!!!
I can appreciate the workmanship on the car but the GT40 deal with the wide body on an iconic pantera just don’t go together in my opinion …
Like always love the channel!!!!!
This is one of the best Cars you have had on the show. I am mightily impressed.
I agree. It’s such a great build
@@AutotopiaLA I get more excited about Cars like this than new Cars.
Dang never disappointed with the cars you feature!
I have always loved the Pantera every since I seen my first on in the early 70's.
I stood next to one and the top of the car was just passed my waist.
Absolutely amazing! Great work bro
Gt40 like front/rear bumper modifications and fender flares really make this design pop for modern times. Classic and brilliant.
A very unique sound.
Gorgeous car. Great sound
AWESOME!!! They did an UNBELIEVABLE JOB ON THIS CAR!!!!!!😎👍👍
Panteras are so underrated I feel like. I love these cars. One day man….one day 😮💨
Oh baby that’s sick 💪
Awesome build. Thanks for showing it.
The full throttle roar is badass!!!! Sounds and looks beautiful!!
The very definition of a Great Build! Outstanding!
Thanks
Awesome guys nice Build and nice work 👍 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
Hands down the nicest Pantera I've ever seen. I love just being able to look over your shoulder and see the engine is right there. And that sound.... So damn cool.
And he drives it like he stole it👍
That’s so crazy to have a big crank pulley just inches behind your right elbow 🤣 pray you torqued everything down right
Yeah, I wonder if that plexiglass acts as a real firewall and safety barrier. That motor blows and you start taking shrapnel, not going to be a good day.
@@shatter71 nah. I commented earlier - I'm sure it's a thick enough piece of plexi to cover you, plus blown engines do not grenade parts in every direction. That's a myth.
What a beautiful car👍🏻
I'm usually more of a purist when it comes to classic cars... but THIS?
This I'm all for. Usually classics are ruined when visually modified but this looks INCREDIBLE.
I'm so down with the engine mods too, these were meant to be beefed up.
I had a black 72 for 18 years and it was so much fun but after 100 miles you needed a chiropractor. This one is an awesome build. Well done!!
Beautiful piece of engineering.
This heck of a monster doesn't spin wheels at all with all that power. damn!!
Flabbergasted. I got my hand caught in the door of a Pantera as a kid and loved every minute of it. The top and bottom end combo is brilliant.
There are a bunch of cool things on this. The 180° exhaust is very cool, unique sound. I can respect the melding of the GT parts . The best thing is it's a driver and all done in house. I understand the want for air ride but my soul needs static suspension, not so much my spine but a person needs to sacrifice something to the car gods otherwise they will take it all away.
SUPER cool. I had a Pantera for a few years. I always wanted to do the 180 degree headers. They're so expensive though!
Didn’t hear what year Pantera the car is? One thing about Panteras is that no two builds are the same!
I got to drive a friends first model year 1972 Pantera back in the mid 70’s. The ‘72 was the only year with the high revving Boss 351 engine. Subsequent model years had the more basic Cleveland 4bbl small block until around 1980ish when the US supply of Clevelands ran dry forcing De Tomaso to switch to the 351 Windsor. The ‘72 also had a much stiffer solid mounted chassis and suspension than later years. It was quite a car although the ergonomics were not very good for my 6’2” frame. 😉
It’s a cool build but I am not real crazy about the long stroke, high torque 454 Clevor in this kind of car. I personally would have preferred a shorter stroke, higher revving Cleveland/Clevor small block but that’s just me.
1973 Pantera
Definitely by far the SICKEST Pantera on the planet!
Thank You Sir
Wow! Looks great and sounds great too, amazing !
Clean AF😍
The engine and chassis shape make the Pantera look wonderful!!!!!
Awesome shoot and such a stunner of a car 😍 seeing it at the quarantine cruises!
Nice workmanship and ideas for a very unique car.. Nice work!!
Super neat build. So glad you folks at this channel highlighted this. As far as car channels, you guys nail it.
Killer Ride! 🤘🏽
Oh how I love you Autotopia!!!!! You actually listen to our needs, wants, and desires. Thanks guys. Your awesome. My dream car right there. 🥰😍😍😍 Just perfection.
The ultimate DIY car guy. 😎👍
Great job! 👍
Sweet very nice
That is truly incredible, TOTALLY insane, that sound, how planted it looks when it takes off and the combo between the GT and Pantera. I saw the Ring Brothers car at SEMA a couple of years back but this has it all over that one !!!
This is the best Pantera custom I’ve ever seen
Clean ride 😎
Live the idea behind your custom Tony. Did a great job putting GT panels on the Pantera chassis. You really did a great job mating the two, great build!
Yeah, he nailed it with this build
That's a really interesting sound - you can hear the intake sounds of a 90° crank V8, but the exhaust sounds of a 180° crank.
Nothing like seeing a beautiful car that is also amazingly functional as well great Work😍
Gotta admit dude; when I first started watching this, I was thinking "Not really my style." But the more I watched it, the more I liked it, from the roll-cage to the seats on the floor, right down to the shocks on the exhaust pipes. You called it; the car had to be built just right & this sure as hell was!
What an incredible build. And the exhaust "hangers" shocks are something I've never seen before, very cool and tastefully done along with the 180-degree headers Awesome just awesome and the sounds it makes are music to my ears.
