39. 1972 De Tomaso Pantera
Not quite as well-known as Ferrari or Lamborghini, De Tomaso is another legend of the Italian sports car scene from the ’60s. Started by Alejandro de Tomaso, the company first started as a racing car outfit. It soon moved to the sports car market with a lineup of successful models. These featured Ford’s small-block engines and a five-speed transaxle gearbox (via Classic Cars).

The key to the Pantera’s success was that de Tomaso got the deal with Ford Motor Company. This meant that De Tomaso cars were to be sold officially in America through the Lincoln-Mercury dealership network. The company found success as a result. If you’re fascinated by the story and looks of this car, this one can be yours for $225,000.
