Our passion is DeTomaso and our inspiration is the comradery shared amongst owners, enthusiasts, and gearheads young and old. We also share in the love for the heart of our beasts and participate in numerous Ford and Shelby events in the North Texas region. Our club is going through a renewal so if you're just a fan and/or also an owner - this would be a great club for you to join and participate in.
We're resurrecting our site and social media presence so check back and look for updates. Also, you can submit your email in the "Contact Us" link, or look at the Calendar of events and join us at one of our gatherings!
Whether you own, or are a fan of, a rare Vallelunga one of the first mid-engine cars ever sold to the public, a Mangusta - created as a foe to the Cobra (Pictured here), a Longchamp, or the Pantera (in any of its iterations), we welcome you.
Every so often, someone will take their Pantera out in the summer months to a monthly chapter meeting. Caught in the Wild in July was Steve Lesso's beautiful Pantera outside of BJ's, a favorite monthly venue of ours!
Along with our monthly gatherings as a club, we try to unite and attend some of the most popular events in our City, Region, and National level.

In his words......
The band Pantera got their name from the car, so my plates are named from one of their songs. "This Love".
I love both the car and the band.
The first time I saw a Pantera was ...
I can't really remember, but I do know that I've always wanted one!
Favorite Memory
Haven’t had many yet. Just getting it road ready finally.
(We look forward to seeing it in the DFW area in 2025)
* NOTE - that means Dana will need to have it road-worthy to make the journey
to/from the Austin area when Austin traffic is at its lightest!)

A little bit of history that includes the latest De Tomaso Branded P 72
De Tomaso's first road car and one of the first mid-engine sports cars in history...
Alejandro De Tomaso was involved in Formula 1 and 2 - Being in F1 from 1961-1963 and then back again in 1970 with Frank Williams. Have a look/listen at this 1970 Historic F1 in the livery of the Williams Team as driven by the late great Piers Courage who qualified 9th at the 1970 Dutch Grand Prix to start the season where he would lose his life later that day in a tragic accident during the race.
The Second Exotic by De Tomaso
Created to be the enemy of Carrol Shelby's Cobras - the Mangusta!

Sure does stink to be eaten alive by a 50 year old "Imposter"!

An impression of things to consider prior to shelling out your cash to become part of our special club...
The De Tomaso entrant to the four-seater "luxury" market.
Ever wonder what a Pantera looks like after being dipped? Watch this to see. Be careful when doing this - your car will ooze chemicals for weeks!
Every year, one week prior to Grapefest, at the Italian Car Festival in Grapevine, Texas, some of the attending Italian cars will have their engines fired up for the popular Running of the Horses! We chose to do this one on our own - largest displacement wins!
