B R’s DeTomaso Pantera
“Qvale Mangusta”

  • Currently 3.3 /5 Stars.
7 guestbook comments

Here is my very rare 2000 Qvale Mangusta, made in Modena Italy, & powered by a Ford SVT Cobra 4.6 liter V8 engine with a manual 5 speed transmission. These cars were made for only 2 years before production was stopped, with a total of about 284 examples made. Mine has an exterior finished in beautiful Silver, and a high grade full leather interior in Black.

This car was designed to offer 3 top choices, a standard coupe, a targa(with the roof removed & stored in the trunk), & convertible(push a button & the rear window/roll bar retracts).

I display my car at various car shows & events on a regular basis. While it's a crowd stopper & attracts a lot of attention in its basic stock form, I intend to customize it further with tuner style enhancements that will add to the looks & performance. I am currently seeking sponsors who are interested in supplying their fine products which would compliment my car. This is a great opportunity for any company that wants to have their products featured on a truly unique automobile! Guaranteed exposure & promotion to many potential buyers. If anyone is interested in sponsoring my car, please send email to: motoman750@sbcglobal.net

This Qvale is available for use in movies, films, commercials, photo shoots, promotions, & etc. I am also available as a driver, or for transportation. Rates vary according to the job, local Southern California locations are preferred. If anyone is interested in booking my car, please send email to: motoman750@sbcglobal.net

Keep checking back for updates, changes, & more photos.

rms, thanks for you compliments. The motor is a OEM Cobra SVT unit. The only mods done so far are Diablo tuner & rare factory installed Borla exhaust.

Gorgeous car! I'm glad they (DeTomaso) continue to use Ford power! Is that 4.6 basically an OEM Mustang GT motor or does it have some mods either by DeTomaso or yourself?
