When she started talking about the combination of “aggressive good looks and a ford V8” I heard “the combination of elegant feminine good looks and car history makes for the best KZbin channels.” Thanks for another fantastic video!!!

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Thank you!!

@@BadBlonde-CarHistory your welcome! Good luck with the Bar what is it called and where is it? Need to add it to my list of places to visit.

You grabbing the keys to a Pantera or Mangusta? Is the P72 one of the coolest supercars out there? Correct answers: BOTH & YES

[@kennytuns8078]

CORRECT ANSWERS is right hahaha

[@mattshepp9219]

The Pantera for sure

[@georgejosephs8611]

Yes and yes

[@tomdanley7358]

Grabbing the keys to all three!

[@tomdanley7358]

Been in love with the Pantera since the first time I saw one!

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Same

[@vonwesty3544]

Awesome history video! I always loved the Pantera and Mangusta. Just classic body lines of their era. The Guara may not have been as odd duck looking if it wasn't for that wacky spoiler at the rear of the greenhouse. BTW...the president of that country was hosting a lot of those ex-Germans in an attempt to build his own Air Force.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Agreed, it may have looked better without it :)

[@kennytuns8078]

Good stufff! Love the Mangusta and Pantera

8:20 Front end reminds me of the MTX Tatra a bit! 10:00 based on the P70? or the Apollo IE?

Agreed on MTX Tatra! Ideal Ventures also owns Apollo

Great car and a great band too!

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

LOL!

[@erikolson5299]

All that and didn’t even drive one!?! The beer-thirty line was good, lol. Subbed 😊 I’ve got a ‘72 pre-L Pantera myself. Cool car. No better display of the mechanicals and powertrain in any other road going car!

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

LOL! A drive would have been nice 🤣 congrats on the ownership 🙌

[@tedgeldberg6498]

I've also got a '72 pre-L. I've owned her for about 25 years and had it modified and restored several years ago to make it more potent (500+hp), more reliable, more comfortable and more luxurious. I now drive it more than at any previous time in my ownership. It still looks so contemporary and fresh. My next door neighbor has one that he bought new in 1973 for under $10,000. Still beautiful even 51 years later.

[@AMCmachine]

Still amazing to think that these were sold through Lincoln-Mercury. And that they were powered by the same relatively simple, easy to maintain (or modify) workhorse Ford V8 that could be had in anything from a Mach 1 Mustang to a Galaxie 500 to a pickup truck to a wood-paneled family station wagon. I always felt the Pantera was an Italian exotic, muscle car and sports car all in one stunningly beautiful package. The styling has aged incredibly well and still looks fresh, yet classic, even today.

[@automotiveaffairsshorts]

First of all… the Guara is awesome! Secondly, the last car Alejandro worked on was the Bigua (which by the time it went into production, was renamed the Mangusta, which after another swindle from Alejandro was taken over by the cars main investor, Kjell Qvale, and sold as the Qvale Mangusta).

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Good info!

[@automotiveaffairsshorts]

@@BadBlonde-CarHistory I’d love to see you do a video on the Qvale Mangusta, and if you need any info on the subject, I’d be happy to help! I’ll reach out to you through Instagram 😊

[@marcitinsley3842]

How about covering Porsche 914 next?

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Great idea!

[@AMCmachine]

Would be fun if a muscle car magazine could orchestrate an AMX/3 vs. Pantera drag shootout. Likely just a dream, I know.

[@ulrikmadsen3002]

You forgot the De Tomaso Bigua to be come the Qvale Mangusta only 283 was made

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Good info!

Caitlin, can I ask you a tech question? That device in your hand. Does it stop/start video recording?

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Yes! It can start or stop video or take a photo

[@DavidNeyens]

@@BadBlonde-CarHistory what is it called? I think I need one of those thingies!

[@AMCmachine]

Been one of my favorite cars since I was a kid of 8 or 9 and there was a yellow-orange one often parked by what was then a neighborhood video and pinball arcade. (How very early '80s, right?) Even back then you didn't see them every day.

[@rudolfabelin383]

Hi! Came here after Googling Isabelle Haskell. There seems to have been real Amore between them. It seems that Isabelle Haskell was a granddaughter of William C. Durant, co-founder of General Motors. ""She hailed from horse racing money" I don't know, but maybe horse power money was involved🙂 Subscribed! Best Greetings from Sweden.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

In my research it never mentioned that! Only that her father was a breeder. How cool. Love that connection to Durant. Thanks for enjoying!

[@josephbyrd6642]

are You privy to any info concerning Lee Iacocca and Mr Ford involvement with producing the Pantera. could it been an effort to make a GT40 for the public. I never heard those Pantera engine options, I thought Just the Cleveland 351 for US and when its production ended, the "after Ford" cars got WIndsor

Need some background music and reps. Nice vid
