DeTomaso Pantera Custom

Pat Mical has truly made a name for himself in the world of Panteras. Starting off with a rich passion for the vehicles and their racing legacy, and then asking the important questions...
How can we improve these cars?
What are the factory engineering flaws?
​What aspects can be changed for convenience?

From suspension upgrades to interior modifications, engine performance, and styling options, P.A.T. can make sure you are getting the most out of your Pantera.

Pantera 90 Si and GT5/S Bodies

We offer hand built body kits to update your stock body Pantera into a true work of art. All molds are taken directly from factory original vehicles. Our shop can also custom build body modifications done completely in steel, as seen here, with measurements even more precise than the factory.

Re-engineered suspension components

The only way to truly get the most out of these vehicles is with our custom suspensions built completely in-house.
Here are some of the benefits:
  • Suspension is 50% lighter than stock
  • Three times the strength of the stock components
  • Permits front wheels up to 18" x 13"
  • Permits rear wheels up to 18" x 15"
  • Fully adjustable caster and camber
  • Fully adjustable spring height and anti-sway bars
  • Universal greaseable interchangable ball joints
  • Zero bump-steer, Zero scrub

Interior Fuse Panel

The fuse panels in these vehicles are notoriously faulty. Trying to track down electrical problems is inconvenient, but it also presents safety issues when the electronics are not functioning properly. We install updated fuse panels by Pantera Electronics that have been engineered to function more effectively with the original Pantera wiring harness.

Updated Gas Tank Filler Neck

The first built Pantera models had a filler neck located in the engine bay itself. Using measurements taken off of the later model Panteras, we are able to re-route the gas tank filler neck to the adjacent quarter panel, which is much safer and more convenient at the pump. The gas door is cut and mounted on a hinge for easy access. The fiberglass insert surrounding the neck is installed behind the quarter panel with custom aviation grade rivets.
