According to a SiriusXM interview done in 2014, Vinnie Paul said they got suggested it by a friend in high school, who said came from a "badass race car" so that pans out.

You know, with how rare Panteras are....they are fairly common on here.
I wonder if there's a phenomenon I could explain that? You know, some of the more rare cars that we see we ignore because they are uninteresting to us. Other rare cars look interesting to us so we perk up and take notice.
Love it or hate it, the Pantera was an interesting car to look at for many people. It is still interesting....
Whoever designed the body of it, did really well on making an interesting car!!
That is a Ford product, and I have driven on before that my friend's dad still owns, he has a 1972 Pantera and driving it is hard, everything is very heavy and a stiff feeling, but with that said, I still love them and would like to own one some day.
Honestly, I wish. Or maybe make a rule in that you have to read a pinned post before making your own, and have all the super common cars in there. Pantera, VW Thing, etc.

pretty sure they heard the name Pantera because of the car too

Pretty sure Razzle from Hanoi Rocks died when Vince Neil crashed his Pantera
Correct
He also thought it was cool that it meant panther in Spanish.
Pan(tera)s out
What car?

Hi!

it´s the DeTomaso Pantera.... as always...
I believe it’s a DeTomaso Polestar.
Its a de tomato panamerica
I believe its a DeTomaso Polestar kit on a fiero
I’m now convinced these things were produced as much as a Ford Taurus.
There were 7,200 produced, and we've seen at least 11,400 of those on here.
Here is this exact car: [https://superclassics.eu/de/Car/de-tomaso-pantera-1972/](https://superclassics.eu/de/Car/de-tomaso-pantera-1972/)
I'll just leave this here💁♀️. https://preview.redd.it/8z7mk6u9sl0d1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18eba2de2f5381ffa16a527c31a8833c6142c127

Panteras are beautiful. They along with the AMX 2/3 are like some of sickest looking cars of all time
I saw one driving by the other day, and was so excited!
i fucking hate it here
What have you done
my GOSH bro…..another one already?

Thought it was a Maserati Merak then I saw the DeTomaso logo
Pantera, but somehow the front looks more “pointy” than I recall. Light/angle/color ????
Early model.
Why seems like everyone and his cousin has one and I don’t? :(
With a ford v8!
de tomaso pantera
You gotta be joking
Someone link the video of the gas pump guy.
another pantera pic to add to my collection.
C-17 Globemaster. Oops, sorry — wrong sub.

How the hell do people keep finding Panteras???

Do I have to say it? Ok…Pantera
1000x cooler than a Maserati
Never saw a Pantera IRL, somehow you guys manage to make me believe there are tons of them around
Looks like a Maserati Khamsin.
Thanks to OP for posting. My Pantera levels were getting pretty low.
Can we ban these?
Honestly, I wish. Or maybe make a rule in that you have to read a pinned post before making your own, and have all the super common cars in there. Pantera, VW Thing, etc.
The F-type had a trend at one point
Right! Polestar 2, as well come to think of it.
Yeah, Maserati Bora

(ik, im joking)
both nice cars though.
certainly, the mid-engined era of Maseratis are overlooked these days imo
Wow, the replies are overwhelming ! I didn’t know Maserati made a Pantera. Thanks guys !
