Always found these cars interesting. Not sure why.

I Did Not know they were powered by FORD engines.

Anyway. I saw not one, but two, so I had u-turn it and get a pic.

I've always found their design to be very timeless. Still looks great today as they did 40 years ago.

One of my wish list cars.

One of our VOA members had one, which he gave to his nephew recently (not pictured), and we cruised out together this summer with a few from their club

Great looker and a rare one at that.

Growing up my next door neighbor, father of the good looking daughters, was a cooperate jet piolet. Lost his job after many years. He went to work selling exotic cars. I was 16, not long ago, and he brought home a De Tamaso. Nice. Well I have the car for the week and do you want to punish this car?? I learned at 16 it was very fast, like his daughters, with a 455 cobra jet, 6 speed gear box, like his daughters, and light weight. Damn thing wood, at the time, kick any thing on the road. Back then hot muscle cars, cheville 396, GTOs, Mach 1s, and the sorts. But this critter was awsome. Got to test drive for a week against the slow muscle cars. Very light with a 455 six speed. Kids dream, now still my dream. And his daughters. Take the car at this point.

Stop lying, you know damn well there werent any exotic car dealerships where you grew up. The car he brought home was an amc gremlin just like his daughters...

Unless I missed something along the way, they were never manufactured with anything bigger than a small block Ford (302 and 351 Cleveland) Maybe an engine swap in yours? Big block would have been a beast.

Strong Mopar representation in the UK between you and Lize. If there is a Mopar club you 2 belong to please recruit them to join this forum. Always cool to see Mopar rides in an element that is outside the borders of North America.

Never see Pantera's around where I live. I especially like the blue and red car front ends. Will read up on them. I know alot about most cars, Pantera is currently a blind spot for me.

There’s a few Facebook clubs ,I’m not on Facebook tho,a challenger club loosely affiliated to a mustang owners club,I met some of them at a joint drag meeting this summer,some nice blokes and birds there😜.

Beautifull cars, but I never thought they were very fast. My old '66 Pontiac GTO with a TransAm 455 would kill them every time. My GTO was a consistant 13.0 machine.

Does anybody know how to actually say "De Tomato"???

"De-ta-ma-so" or "Dei-ta-ma-so" seems to be the consensus.

 

[The Englishman]

I would say Deetomaaaso
