1971 DeTomaso Pantera Chassis 02210: 20 Years in Storage, Finally Waking Up
This 1971 Pantera spent two decades asleep in a garage before hitting the market—the kind of time capsule that separates survivors from driven cars. Original McCormick Lincoln-Mercury delivery out of Trenton, repainted red in 1985, now carrying that patina-with-purpose look that matters. The Cleveland 351C engine is still in there waiting to remember what it was built for.
Pantera values are finally moving north because people realized Ford's mid-engine experiment actually worked—and now everyone's scared there won't be another one.
