    it was an older model i think, it looked great, twin turbo V8, really good handling and everything , unreliable when u turn ignition though
    and also uncomfortable interior.

    Elvis was not dead when this came out. Just check this site
    http://www.detomaso.it/gb/storia/vallelunga_guara.html, here is a direct quote from the site:
    "In 1972 Ford acquired even Ghia and Vignale, where Panteras were manufactured, and the whole shares were took over again."
    I couldn't figure out what year this car actually came out, but you get the jist,,, Elvis died in 1979.

    yall could always just go to past supercars and plainly see that their are much older models than this altho they look identical and all have similar engines if not the same 5.7litre ford V8

    Elvis had a Pantera.. with holes in the steering wheel, shot in by The King himself when the damn thing didn't want to start one day lol.
