It's definitely a naughty cat. Handcrafted in Turin, Italy, one of just 383 made, the now heavilymodified NOTYCAT widebody twinturbo 1971 DeTomaso PushButton Pantera shocks purists while captivating Ford enthusiasts. Under the hood, a 351 Cleveland vintage ironblock V8 has been meticulously bored and stroked to 408 cubic inches, adorned with twin turbos, twin intercoolers, twin fuel cells, twin throttle bodies, twin wastegates, twin blowoff valves, twin radiators, twin fans, and twin pumps. Product designer Shad Bruce lives by the mantra 'built, not bought,' and his creation is the most audacious Pantera we've seen. Nicole fulfills a lifelong dream while becoming the first person in Shad's nearly two decades of ownership to take the wheel, feeling her late father's approval echoed in a single word: Bitchin'.
