This mid-engined Italian exotic was powered by a high-output Ford Cleveland 351 V8 and drove through a 5 speed Transaxle. I bought this car out of Texas. The motor had been newly rebuilt and it was insanely fast. I have never been in any vehicle that would accelerate from 100 to 140 as fast as the Pantera would. I sold this car on EBay in '04 but I will definitely buy another soon..
