Elvis Presley was the original owner of this 1971 De Tomaso Pantera. The urban myth is for real; this is the car Elvis shot with a gun during a fit of rage. This Italian designed exotic is powered by Ford and you can see the trademark blue air cleaner of the Ford 351 Cleveland V8 behind the seats.

Details of the car are listed here: http://www.panteracars.com/elvis1001.htm

I took this pic at the Petersen Automotive Museum in L.A., CA.

It is parked alongside Elton John's Delahaye.
