[@SLiCGamingChannel]

This car is honestly one of the most visually appealing cars I've ever seen. Its just amazing. If the interior was a bit different.. for example different colour scheme... itd be even better.

[@Chrys-T]

I second that

[@ellarkay9842]

Third. I love he colors on the outside, though.

[@itsdigitalmagic]

Agree, titan-black with yellow accents would be more pleasing. Brushed raw aluminums or even titan aswell

[@spitfire83]

and gauges with some actual numbers would be nice

[@j1shin]

That's exactly what i thought. Absolutely stunning.

[@DreadPirateBob]

All their builds that I've seen are the epitome of "you can't buy taste"

[@Arthurzeiro]

The "revised" car sounds nice, has jaw dropping looks, but that interior looks quite bad and most people, i'd say even chevy people, would think that ditching the Ford engine was wrong. The 74 on the other hand is almost perfection on wheels, though i really like the ones with the front spoiler.

[@RamblinAround]

I appreciate your honesty in the review. The Ring Brothers do amazing work, this car just needs some tweaking. The original Pantera was a such a masterpiece for the time.

The RB version reminds me of a more angular Ford GT. Definitely a head turner.

[@ExpieMF]

I figure it's deliberate, to troll Ford fans. That and the Chevy motor.

[@dedskin1]

That italian interior is beutiful , this yelow Nike thing , god forbid :) there is a reason they dont do cars

[@Audfile]

it's perfect for the era, even slight conservative actually. it's only recently we demand boring grey interiors

[@EamonnSeoigh]

I don’t mind the materials in that interior, but the colours aren’t right for it. Too bright.... the body is really interesting from a design point of view....I don’t mind it, but it’s a one off modification that turns it into a kit car.....but not that bad to look at. DeTomaso wouldn’t be too upset, I’d wager. Should have kept the motor a Ford, but in an aluminum block and head config with crazy power...

[@UnknownHumanoid]

It's horrid. Nikey are a joke.

[@deanfirnatine7814]

Nike is the epitome of poor taste

[@deanfirnatine7814]

@@EamonnSeoigh Agreed I can accept almost everything but that motor choice is just sinful and real insult to both De Tomaso and Ford engineers that put their heart and souls into that car and engine

[@pantera1973]

For those who don't understand why there are so many negative comments about using a GM engine in the Yellow Pantera, let me try to explain. The DeTomaso Pantera was a very special limited production car. There were a total of around 7,000 Panteras built in Italy from 1971 to 1993. For comparison, there were 13,769 Shelby Mustangs built from 1965 to 1970; almost twice as many as the Pantera. It is estimated that around 3,500 or so Panteras are still in existence around the world these many years later. Most people are not aware that the Pantera was actually the replacement for the Ford Powered, 2 seat, AC/Shelby Cobra, which was last produced in 1967. An original, non-molested DeTomaso Pantera in excellent condition brings $100,000+ these days. Can you imagine the outcry if someone took an original AC Cobra, or a Shelby Mustang, and dropped a Chevy engine into it? How about taking a Hemi Cuda convertible and dropping a Chevy engine into it, or maybe a 1963 Split window Corvette with a 340 Chrysler in it? Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.........

[@jedishaadu8343]

Amen Amen and AMEN

[@lordzevallos]

I'm pretty sure Matt didn't like the new car.

[@obivankeno2068]

Alex Say again

[@Munkenba]

The restored version appeals to me more, I just like the nostalgia

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Sorry but you screwed up the new front end. It needs that Pantera / Italian style wedge

[@SkyScourgeGod]

MetalJesusRocks?! I watch your gaming videos all the time, but I had no idea you were into cars to. I play tons of games, but I also work on cars for a living and also enjoy spirited driving every now and again. To be honest, I think the exterior of the modded Pantera looks pretty cool even if the classic obviously looks better. The yellow interior however is disgusting, full on black would have been all that was nessesary to make it stand out without making it look like its owned by a Nike entrepreneur. Keep it real dude and stay safe, you're awesome!

[@wormfood868]

Seems like they should have done a Mangusta if they wanted the exposed headlights.

[@Ol_Durty_Badger]

The beauty of the oft forgotten Cleveland, solid, high revving and endlessly powerful

[@Saffsa]

The basis of Fords NASCAR Programme for Decades unyet here we are the Transgender era

[@pantera1973]

Great review. A simple cam change, intake/carb, and better flowing exhaust and the original 351 Cleveland will easily put out north of 450 horsepower without adversely changing the smooth, torquey nature of the engine. A Pantera with a correctly functioning stock cooling system will idle all day long with no tendency to overheat. I've had my 1973 for 28 years now; its still impossible to drive without getting a big grin on my face. :-)

[@MrSoulauctioneer]

Im not the first to say this, taking all the Ford parts off was STUPID.

[@freelancerider100]

It was Shelby not ford- and taking shelby out was- stupid

[@bandidomxgarage7898]

Correcto 👍

[@ocala1218]

I'll take the 351

[@bwest6275]

Yeah.....Nike should stick with athletic shoes.

[@GamersBar]

Matt I know its hard to be negative on a car but thats why we watch because your an awesome person who can express himself wonderfully, the sema build is beautiful but not as much a drivers car as the original. Hell the new car may even be a beautiful show piece but terrible to drive, i can obviously see the difficulty saying that to the person providing the cars but you're going to have to (just be like they need to fix xyz and i look forward to driving it again but at the moment id like the drive of the old car and the looks of the new one). Anyway love your videos obviously keep up the good work

[@TheSmokingTire]

Everything I said in the video and more I said right there to their faces. That's why they brought me the car; they wanted feedback on dialing it in. When the car doesn't inspire confidence, I don't want to drive it fast in the rain with no wipers or seatbelts.

[@whateverrandomnumber]

Nice exhaust sound, and nice bodywork. That's about it. Apparently, it's all about appearences only.

[@GamersBar]

TheSmokingTire thanks , listen love all your stuff and the content you give all of us. I won't go on and on sitting here at a computer lol, just make videos and ill be happy, sometimes i critique things when i should probably just be happy they exist. greatly enjoy your content keep it up

[@TheSmokingTire]

Guilherme Mauricio no, if you watched the video, you'd see that it had absolutely zero fine tuning. Good parts are worthless if you don't tune them. They brought it to me for my feedback so they could fine tune it and make it drive properly, and they allowed me to make a film in the process.

[@whateverrandomnumber]

Oooh I see... But I still don't kow how someone would build a car without the knowledge of how it should feel...

[@Bazuzeus]

c'mon... yellow interior ? What a shame

Whether it's a Chevy, Ford or Mopar, stay true and through. You spend this kinda money on a build like this and to compliment a car of this stature, you don't throw an LS engine in there. That's just cheezy. There are some things you just keep pure, and this is one of them.

[@azteczulu1]

[@AshyGr33n]

Why do cars "back then" all look gorgeous....

[@inudude15]

For one, history wears rose tinted glasses. Indeed, the pretty ones are the ones that get restored and resto-modded and cared for and shown. We see the big, 427 wielding, four speed COPO Camaro, not the six-cylinder automatic that people actually bought. And more so than that is the fact that up until the early seventies emissions and safety laws were virtually non-existent. You could have a car with a razor edged front section and pointed wings because there was no legislation telling automakers you can't slice or impale pedestrians in a low speed collision. Nowadays there is such a maze of red tape regarding how the cars have to react in all manner of situations, how the lights have to line up, how much candle power they can have, etc, etc, etc. The fact that there are cars now that are still legitimately good looking is a testament to how hard the designers are working within the new sandbox they've been given and how far science and technology have advanced.

[@rombierto]

Because government regulators killed the cool..(crash safety structures, fuel economy, pedestrian safety (e.g. flat fascias), and those horrible airbags)

[@briananthony4044]

I loved the Maserati Montreal, the Montevideo Hal, the Mangusta, the Espada, etc. I hated the Cadillac with the boot cut off and a sloping rear.

The Ring Bros. are just fantastic builders theses guys are right on point.

[@mustafahafez5076]

no

[@lioncelica5170]

+manofweed1 No, a ricer is a small economy car made for fuel efficiency that has superficial modifications that do nothing to aid performance and look down right terrible. e.g. a Honda Civic with a spoiler the size of a park bench and a bad paintjob with a massive exhaust pipe that sounds like farting through a fan.

[@Buttnut105]

I'm no DeTomaso expert, but weren't there a ton of factory modifications you could have installed at the dealer? Kind of blurs the line between what you'd normally consider a restoration and a pro touring car.

[@TheSmokingTire]

Yes there were, which is why unlike other period exotics, so many Panteras are modified and that's OK. There really are very few true purists of that brand. There were changes like, every year, so people are OK doing their own mods.

[@kevinmckinzie]

Pantera's are not Pantera's with gm motors in them.

[@DolleHengst]

The original idea was to have a reliable, powerful and affordable engine, thus an american V8. One you can replace for the price of a Lamborghini valve seat, as JC put it. To a european like me, a Pantera is a Pantera when it has an american V8. Of course, a car like the AC Cobra needs to have a Ford engine. And yes, the 350R flat-plane would be the coolest engine possible for this car. Guess that engine wasn't available yet when this was built

[@ArionEquus]

As a little update for you on that topic... They're being really selfish with the flat-plane. You can get the cross plane version of the very same engine. As a crate engine for whatever build you'd like. With a ton of high end parts. Including their cobra jet throttle body and heads. All-in-all a package that throws down approx 600HP. But the flat plane 5.2 is pretty much a GT350 exclusive engine. So, if you want one. You're pretty much going to have to scrap a new GT350 to get one. Go look up the 5.2L Aluminator XS if you want more info.

That interior is the most horrible I've seen on this show, ALL form over function and the form isn't even that good. It looks good on the outside though. No seatbelts? That doesn't make any damn sense.

[@CosmoxYRik]

In places where it's legal to drive without seatbelts, I can sort of understand people leaving them off an old bench seat cruiser, but in a Pro touring car you need to be strapped in to drive it in anger. Only reason I can think of is the race harness gets bolted in for track days. Edit- Then I got to the Nike part. Ok this car has no seatbelts for the same reason it has no functioning gauges. It's a pointless running shoe ad crafted by an advertising agency. The fact that it even has an engine is coincidental. Utterly pointless and I have no idea why this would make me buy a pair of sneakers.

[@Vampirebear13]

CosmoxYRik In the USA at least,there's NOWHERE you're allowed to drive without seatbelts,unless the car was made pre-1955. Classic cars,you must have at least a lapbelt.

[@CosmoxYRik]

Cool, yeah I'm on the other side of the world, thought there might be some states left in the US where that was semi-legal. So not only is it a half assed, half finished running shoe ad, but you can't technically drive it anywhere. It's even less useful than those stupid pump up basketball sneakers Nike were pushing in the early 90's. Yeah as I said my first thought was "oh ok, the seat and harness go in on raceday" cos with a "pro-tour" car you'd expect to be doing some Pro-touring, but this car is just a useless piece of bling that'll be shoehorned into an upcoming rap video. I'd rather drive Corwin's deathtrap RX7.

[@Vampirebear13]

I'm glad you didn't take my comment the wrong way Rik.Things typed don't always read as they're meant to sound. I also hated the Nike Pantera,although I love the Ring Bros. the Nike Pantera is an exercise in futility. And from this side of the world Blessed Be My Friend. :-)

[@vivos71]

If the car came with no seatbelts, then they are not needed. If they have an option for an older shoulder seatbelt in the line up, it is mandatory
