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.

The first time I saw a Pantera was ...
I’ve been intrigued by the Pantera since the first time I saw one back in 1972 in the showroom window at aLincoln-Mercury dealership in Elgin Illinois. It was the most beautiful car I ever saw. I knew right then that one day I would have one.
Lessons and Thoughts on DeTomaso Ownership....
Two things I have shown an appreciation for throughout the years is that these
cars are all different. They have been modified since the day they hit American
soil. This is a direct reflection of the owner’s inner taste. Mine has been modified only to update 1970’s technology to make it more reliable, comfortable, and safer.
The body style was way ahead of its time. That’s what I fell in love with first. The
fact it was powered by a Ford V8 really made it over the top. I’ve been a Ford man ever since I had a 67 Mustang Fastback back in 69.
There was one day I found out a new neighbor across the road had a Pantera. I
went over to meet him, and found he was a Chevy guy. Needless to say, his
Pantera had a Corvette brake system, and a big block 502 Chevy motor in it, and
yes, we are still friends. There are purists out there, but the modified Pantera’s are far greater in numbers.
The second thing is the camaraderie amongst the owners. They are always willing to lend a helping hand. I’ve made and lost some great friends along the way. That’s one thing as an owner, you can feel confident that someone somewhere had the same issue and is happy to pass on their knowledge to help.
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...
Enjoy - another video of this historic car.
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.

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

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!
