When it comes to exotic legends, the 1974 De Tomaso Pantera GTS stands in a league of its own. Born from an international collaboration between Italian design brilliance and American horsepower, the Pantera wasn’t just another mid-engine experiment—it was a full-throttle statement. And today, it remains one of the most collectible, investment-grade vehicles in the world.
At HotRod Collection, we’re proud to offer a stunning 1974 De Tomaso Pantera GTS, a true piece of history that still turns heads and stirs souls.
The De Tomaso Pantera Legacy
Alejandro de Tomaso had a bold vision: create an Italian sports car that could match Ferrari in style and speed but beat it in reliability and cost. His secret weapon? Teaming up with Ford Motor Company. Under the skin of the Pantera beats the heart of a mighty 351 Cleveland V8—a torque-rich powerhouse capable of shocking European purists at every turn.
Built between 1971 and 1974 for U.S. export (before private imports continued), the Pantera combined:
The result was a mid-engine marvel that could tear up a track and cruise confidently through downtown.
What Makes the 1974 Pantera Special?
The 1974 model year represents the final and most refined version of the original Ford-backed Panteras. Updates included:
-
Body reinforcements for improved rigidity
-
Larger crash bumpers (to meet U.S. regulations)
-
Improved cooling systems to tame the mid-mounted V8’s heat
-
Updated interiors with a more polished, driver-focused layout
The GTS variant, like the one in our inventory, took it even further—blending aggressive flared fenders and wide wheels with factory performance upgrades.
Finding a collector-quality 1974 De Tomaso Pantera GTS today isn’t easy. These cars were rare when new—and time has only made them rarer.
