Equipment
5.0/247hp Ford V8, 5-speed, Fondmetal alloy wheels, Brembo brakes, Michelin tires, cassette stereo, air conditioning, tools and books.
Condition
One of 41 built. Showing 33,333 km (20,712 miles). Good, lightly aged paint. Lightly wrinkled leather. Clean underneath. Built at a time when most people had forgotten the Pantera still existed. But, being the last of its kind, it’s developed and rare. Lightly used and cool.
Market commentary
Ford stopped importing the Pantera to the US (where it was sold at Lincoln-Mercury dealers) in 1975, but production in Italy kept on going until 1992 with regular improvements along the way. Visually, the final Gandini-styled 90 Si version was probably the biggest change in the model's history, but the suspension and chassis were improved as well. Far rarer than the early Panteras, the 90 Si is also more valuable, and the last time we saw one sell at auction was three years ago when a 500-km car sold for $357,000 in Amelia Island. Given that result, it wasn't unreasonable for the consignor here to expect something close to that number in 2023.
