I saw this car at the GoodGuys show in Pleasanton, CA this March. I have about 30 pictures of the engine bay. The video did a great job of showing how much work went into it, but my goodness this car was a piece of mechanic art.
Every time the Ring brothers reveal their latest creation, it seems they can't possibly top it. But they always do. This car is so well done it's hard to know where to start.
I like the car but I prefer their stuff when they do Americana cars, although I do realize the pantera is the most american of italian sports cars. It looks cool but dosen't add coolness to an already cool car imo. So I see it as both good and meh which is wierd opinion to have. The idea of a fuel cell in the front of a high performance car, despite the security of the piece itself, is something I find unsettling. Might help with the weight distribution but it dosen't help with the peace of mind going 150mph with the fuel next to your right kneecap. Although it's a one off and likely will drive less than 5000 miles in it's lifetime, I guess. Worksmanship seems top notch. They should attempt a scratch built car or indeed see what they could do to a lambo countach, a car which should fit their style also.
The car is nice. Choice of engines LS3. Like putting a Ford FE427 in a split window Vette. Although the swap would be cool it is just WRONG! LS in a Pantera? The Cleveland motor is a beast and has beaten the LS in many competitions so it more that is adequate for this beast. I hope the owner will come to his senses and get rid of the POS ls and put a Beast Blue Oval where it belongs. He will like the improved power as well. Ring Bros you should have informed the owner and not built this hybrid that NO respectable Ford guy will go near. Hope this helps.
LS motor, WTf. makes you look at the car in a completely different light. in my opinion you have made a POS. the car needs a FORD MOTOR! you would not put a Ford in a Vette? so why put a POS cheby in a Ford.
kma198199 No sarcasm, but I've been wrong before. For a 351 ci to make 600hp with no boost or nitrous, usually it's got a much more nasty idle. I doubt it makes 600hp. If that's a roller cam and it has awesome heads and high compression, maybe it breaks 500. BTW Adam is always covering his ears on these videos.
Take a classic design and make it as SEMA gaudy as possible. I am not surprised that attention seeking Richard Rrawlings purchased this. His beedazzled pants and rebel jewelry suit a car that is trying way to hard to look young again.
I definitely admire the craftsmanship, but I don't really like what they've done with the styling, and that interior is just silly in my opinion. Talk about style over substance . . .
I have no words for how awesome this is.
Out of all cars I have ever seen. This is on my absolute top 10. And I don't know what the other 9 cars are! It looks and sounds absolutely amazing!
Love it, interviewed the Ring Brothers at SEMA last year and was there for ADRNLN's unveiling. Jim and Mike are the best in the biz.

Again crazy awesome!!!!!
If you didn't know anything you would think this is a relatively new car from the way it looks
These guys are the best!
Beautiful music.
Love the Panteras
Beautiful

bad ass car
Why is Adam plugging his ears when they rev the car up?
I am ashamed to say I never heard of Pantera before. I like what I am seeing.
U must be young
A brief, but passionate love affair between American muscle and Italian design. It was short and sweet, but produced some very cool offspring.
A gurgling, american V8 mated with italian car design. Have a look around here, there are lots of videos on RUclips that "show" the sound ;)
wow...FORD this should be inspiration to build a supercar. the bros totally rebuilt (designed) and made it functional!
I think this looks way better than the original! The details are Awesome.........
First time here. Skipped through it for 10 seconds. The watermark is bothering me. Goodbye.
You guy's are great! I'd love a shirt from you guy's! 282 Clawson Rd Lafollette TN 37766 medium lol

Does Adam Carolla know anything about cars?
T. Price Yeah he actually is quite knowledgeable. Especially when it comes to Nissans and Datsuns.
DucDucSTFU Right on! This is the first time I have seen him involving cars so I had no idea.

Sounds kind of mild for 600 hp.
You're being sarcastic, right? That thing sounds AMAZING. Adam covered his ears, I doubt its mild...

you've obviously never heard a wegner motorsports powerplant. horrifically misinformed statement
or even remotely in "the know" in the engine building industry
What is this?
Chevy engine on a De Tomaso Pantera!
That's a lack of respect!

Cool car until you get to the cockpit,the ring boys are missing the mark,interior is a cock up less is more

That interior tho...😷
