CAMERAS ROLLING • THE CAMERA RIGS THAT CAPTURE MOVIE MAGIC AT HYPERSPEED

HERE COMES TROUBLE • The De Tomaso Pantera, that brawny Seventies wedge, was born under a bad sign. It was under developed, in differently built, and it overheated and rusted with roughly equal gusto. It was, in short, a beautiful mess. But that describes most Italian cars from that decade. There was something else about the Pantera. It lived in a weird limbo: It was part Italian exotic and part American hot rod, thanks to its Ford 351 Cleveland V-8. It was a Ferrari stripped of pedigree and packed full of American rowdiness. It was uncouth. And it tapped into a dark streak within its owners. You might say you’d never run from the cops or shoot a car. But how can you be sure if you’ve never owned a Pantera?
