THPNNE06879roadItaly
Engine
Ford 351 Cleveland V8
Colour
White over black leatherette

A 1975 De Tomaso Pantera L delivered new through Leith Lincoln-Mercury of Greensboro, North Carolina on 27 February 1975, this example is among the lowest-mileage survivors of the model, showing just 213 miles at cataloguing. Combining Ford's 351 Cleveland V-8 with a ZF transaxle and European-derived chassis engineering, the car retains its original white paint, black leatherette interior, Campagnolo magnesium wheels, and Goodyear Arriva tyres, making it an exceptional preservation-grade specimen of the US-market Pantera L.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
