The De Tomaso Pantera is Tomas Linden’s dream machine. The classic Italian-American mid-engined sports cars aren’t a common sight, though, especially in Sweden, where he lives. Linden didn’t let a lack of supply stop him and built his own supercar with the Pantera as inspiration.<\/p>\n

The car’s shape evokes the original Pantera (see gallery below) but with some notable differences. The pop-up headlights are gone in favor of fixed lamps behind clear covers. A small intake is on the roof. Mesh panels beside the windows provide a peek into the engine bay. Rather than being flat, the decklid features louvered panels that make the powertrain visible from outside the vehicle. A big, oval-shaped exhaust pipe exits out of the bottom of the tail.<\/p>\n

Linden installs a 32-valve Ford V8 in his Pantera tribute, which makes sense because the original also uses an eight-cylinder engine from the Blue Oval. The powerplant hooks up to a four-speed manual gearbox from a Porsche 930. The inboard rear suspension uses components from a Yamaha R1 motorcycle. He also custom-made the exhaust.<\/p>\n

Linden doesn’t specify the horsepower output, but the setup looks like plenty of fun to drive in this video. He even shows off a brief acceleration run. The V8 has the roar of a proper muscle car, too.<\/p>\n

Linden uses parts from a variety of cars to put his vehicle together. The door frames and handles come from a Honda Civic. The side mirrors are custom-made from carbon fiber, using molds from an Audi TT. The windshield is out of a 1998 Saab 9-5.<\/p>\n

Linden’s car also has a purposeful interior. He installs iPads for the instrument cluster and backup camera. Heavily bolstered seats hug the occupants, and the driver grips a three-spoke steering wheel. One of the cool touches inside is the gated gearshift.<\/p>\n

There are just five videos on Linden’s YouTube channel. But, if you happen to know him, let us know. We’d love more information about this impressive, home-built machine, like how long it took him to assemble this vehicle.<\/p>\n
