RESCUED: DeTomaso Pantera Entombed 45 Years Gets A Second Chance At Life | Barn Find Hunter

BIG NEWS: This is the first video in a five-part series featuring a DeTomaso Pantera, a collaboration between "Redline Rebuild" and "Barn Find Hunter". On "Barn Find Hunter," we always uncover cars that have been hidden for years and delve into their fascinating stories. Typically, we are involved in the initial phase of the barn find story, step one. Rarely do we have the privilege of witnessing steps two and three: the exchange of ownership and the restoration. Today is that special day! Tom's son, Brian, has purchased a DeTomaso Pantera that has been frozen in time for nearly 40 years. The Pantera gets loaded onto a flatbed and taken back to the shop for a thorough assessment of its condition, with plans to get the engine running and potentially turn it into our next Redline Rebuild project. Stay tuned for more videos from the Redline Rebuild Team!
