The Lusso Pantera features rubberized bumpers as mandated for the US market in 1972. Per the included Marti report, this example is one of 188 cars delivered new in orange for the 1974 model year, and the seller notes evidence of paintwork to the hood and fenders. Close-up photos of the paint, trim, and noted imperfections are provided in the gallery below.
Factory Campagnolo wheels are pictured up close in the gallery below and wear staggered-width Goodyear VR60 tires measuring 215/60 up front and 255/60 at the rear. Front and rear disc brakes are equipped.
The seats are trimmed in black upholstery and accompanied by a color-matching dashboard, center console, and replacement carpeting. Features include a dogleg-pattern gated shifter, power windows, and a Becker Europa II AM/FM radio mounted vertically in the center stack. The ignition switch was recently replaced.
Veglia Borletti instrumentation consists of a 200-mph speedometer and a tachometer, and gauges for amperage, fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure are housed within the center-stack. The five-digit odometer shows 52k miles.
The Ford-sourced 351ci V8 was rated at 266 horsepower at 5,400 rpm and 301 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm when new, and records show that it was rebuilt in 1987. Servicing completed in preparation for the sale is said to have included a rebuild of the carburetor, multiple fluid changes, hose and seal replacements, and repair to the exhaust system.
Engine stamping 05347 is shown above, and matches the Mechanical Parts Number tag shown in the gallery below.
Power is sent rearward through a ZF five-speed manual transaxle. Additional photos of the underside include close-ups of the floor, suspension, and brake components.
1976 sales paperwork from the previous owner is included in the sale, along with service records, warranty information, and handwritten notes.
The Deluxe Marti report shows a build date of September 1973 lists factory colors, options, and production data. Video featuring this Pantera is presented below.
