Jay Leno's Garage

One of the prettiest sports car designs of all time! Very nice proportions and very aggressive.

When I was a kid in the 70’s my dad’s friend had a Pantera and I’ve loved cars ever since. One of the great marriages of European design and American muscle.

Whoever says money can't buy happiness has not seen that garage.

[rexpayne]

I used to see one in Australia in the 70s and instantly fell in love.

The rear view of those cars are timeless.
The exhaust, the gearbox, those tires....
Nothing better.

I've had my 1972 Pantera since I was 17 years old. I'm 58 now and still own it. It's currently being completely restored to stock and will be back on the road soon. I've changed out the seats, the originals were back killers, and I've replaced the cooling system, but other than that, she's stock. THPNMG03317

This guy, Michael Drew, is probably the best, most well spoken and knowledgeable expert Jay has had on "The Garage".

[twyzne]

That rear is what always captivated me.

[TheRealCoyote]

Love the car. Love that guy. Just a genuine, knowledgeable enthusiast. And the passion just oozes out of him. Joy to watch.

This Mike dude is epic! When a man gets obsessed; he becomes a force of nature...Jay and Mike; two forces blending well...

I saw my first Pantera at a stoplight in Beverly Hills, CA. It was 1971 and I was 20 years old and in the military. My friend and I were totally blown away by the looks and sound of this amazing looking super car. When the light changed, the Pantera literally looked like it lifted off the ground and zoomed away. Never forgot that image and the Pantera made its indelible mark on me...

[peterhulse]

my favorite car. I got to sit in one when I was about 8 years old. But it marked me like a first beloved girlfriend. LOVE the pantera.

I remember seeing one of these when I was 13 years old, putting shingles on a roof of a rich person's place with my Dad. It was yellow, just sitting in the driveway, looking sad that I wasn't driving it. I remember seeing that it had a Ford engine, and thinking that was strange. I have never forgotten that car. This video was a real treat. You can tell that guy is passionate as Hell about them.

[golden_boi]

I love how the rear wheels bulge out of the body... wow!

[carsmartsmedia]

One of the best car rear ends ever. Appreciate this guy's knowledge. They could have gone on for an hour.

[NotYou]

I remember that, when I was a kid, someone in my town had a Pantera. Bright yellow, it was. You could get one at the local Ford dealer...for around $11, 000. It was always thrilling whenever I saw the car around town.

Never cared for Jay until I realized his unwavering passion for all things cars motorcycles etc. And evidence of this passion is his sharing of his collection with enthusiasts like us watching his shows on video or youtube. Kudos to Jay.

[SundudeCAN]

I just spent the day, yesterday, with Mike Drew and his wife, cruising around the backroads of eastern Ontario in our Ford-powered sports cars: DeTomaso Pantera, and Longchamp and my Cobra. Super-nice guy. Glad to have met him.

[GeorgeI]

Truly one of the most beautiful automotive designs of all time.

I've watched so many of Jay Leno's Garage videos, but this is amongst the very very best if not the best video. The reason why is because of the Pantera expert... He has so many very cool, super interesting, quirky, esoteric stories that are actually fascinating details... He needs his own channel if he doesn't have one because he's really interesting. His voice is a little weird, but his anecdotes are fantastic!!
