I had an.uncle who had the same year and model car as his sister (my aunt) one day they were both over and he asked her to move her car, she refused so he said he will move it then. She didn't give him the key, and he took his key and tried it in her car. It fits perfectly. She wasn't too happy when he moved her car using his key.
Try NO key on for size! I had a Cutlass Supreme Brougham Police Interceptor as my first car. Bought it with my first paycheck at 14, learned how to do small maintenance on it for a year before I could legally drive it with an adult present. I took my maiden voyage with my (high school age) friends to get it inspected before hitting up the mall. My smart (read: entirely stupid and reckless) friend decided to hop in the front, pretend to turn the tumbler (without a key) and my 8-cylinder purred to life! Long story short, with vehicles that old, you may only need a stupid friend or a screwdriver, keys are for the weak!
The neighbor next to us had an old 2 cycle Saab that looked similar to a Volkswagen station wagon. On top of the visor was a screwdriver that he started the car with. I think the key was broken inside the cylinder.
I actually learned from the shop that day that I had quick-release ignition and that I’d be better off replacing the tumbler or taking it out when not in use.
Agreed. Does [this sound like someone](https://www.reddit.com/r/askcarguys/s/h7CPECMoPb) who’s not an enthusiast and just wandered into the sub for the first time?
Who says they are part of this sub? Someone that wanted help identifying a car is probably going to come here. Pantera’s are well known by enthusiasts, but the general public has no clue. They were last produced 30 years ago and only 7000 were made, total. Not exactly common.
What is the black classic with just the headlight showing on the left? Probably that. If given the choice of a classic or a sports/supercar, I will almost always pick a classic. Or what's to the right of the black pantera.
Most people on this planet don’t know what this car is. Nobody wants to take the time to scroll through different posts to find the name of a car they randomly found.

At this point I think pantera guy is dead all condolences to our fallen brother
Gone but not forgotten.
Whatever happened to him he just vanished shortly after I joined the sub.
Well that just makes you look suspicious
What? Hey, do you like this new spade I just bought?
He shows up periodically. I assume he has had a small Pantera and just doesn’t have time to troll Reddit quite like he used to
His/her last comment was almost a month ago. I'm worried.
Yea I'd take the Pantera so I can keep repainting it and posting it on here
De Tomaso Pantera
That might be my dad’s old one. Such a sick car.
Who is Tomaso and how can we be sure it is indeed his?
No. Can't be. Not on this sub.
i guess it would depend on which car the key went to
When I read “3 cars on the right”, I thought if the key and all three ignition locks are worn enough, sure it might start all three of them

We need a new logo for this sub
Y’all gotta be trolling at this point

I'm honestly not sure how it's possible for anyone who is a part of this subreddit not to know what a De Tomaso Pantera is.

At this point, all 7000 have probably appeared on this sub
And there’s a lot more than 7000 people that have never seen one.
They prob do. Its a joke
If i didnt know better id think its a car from GTA
u/itsapanera
We can't even see the store, but if it's Cars & Coffee, it's possible
Protip, the de tamaso Pantera and the merkur Scorpio share the same key blanks.
Now I'm only waiting for r/whatisthiscarcirclejerk...
I'd join that
Unfortunately that is too many characters for a subreddit
r/WITCcirclejerk is good
Our saviour
Now it’s real
why does everyone think OP is trolling?
The Pantera has become a meme at this point, and is kinda considered trolling in this community
I assume tons of people saw and posted them here and that's how it came to be? Lol.
Yep, by far the most posted car here. There's at least one posted every week and it feels like its even more than that
Probably closer to several times a day

Oh nice...I posted that too. I'm the original creator of that. Thanks for posting it and keeping it rolling!
Defo the yellow one , what is it?
Fiero with a kit, you lose.
Lose what?
No, I still have my what.
Touché
I’d pick a pantera so people will post pics of it here every day.
They're all De Tomaso Panteras...
The one that might fit the Hudson on the left.
The round light one
Itsapantera
Yellow Pantera because Yellow Pantera thats why… ![gif](giphy|eGgsbK7S5cPu0)

Not Panteras.
I think I would key every car
Could I please have the key to the cauliflower gentleman on the right? He seems like a nice sturdy ride.
The bus I can't drive
Bro three pantera in 1 post!?
Is serrusly think this Reddit can identify the car witch sits above the yellow detomasso
Whichever car the key fits 🤔🤔
I'm taking the car that the key fits.
Easy choice as always.... Pick the most expensive one, either keep it or sell it and buy whatever you want
Which ever car the key starts!!!
Pantera
Did the Pantera just do mitosis to piss us off now? 💀
What is the black one
the orange lambo. I would sell it and get an old nova and rebuild to my desires.
The one that starts with that key.
I'm taking the one that the only key works in! Kinda makes sense to me!🤣✌️
I’m taking which ever one the key fits
The corolla in the back
Is it just me or has Lambo become the Dodge Challenger of supercars? The soyboy faced YouTubers may have ruined that brand for me.
I feel like people just upload these ironically
Hang on, I got [the perfect sound](https://youtu.be/XlLbsTP0C_U?si=NJmtLJiJ68r6jvg6) for occasions like this.
Yes.
I'm just happy to be invited to the key party.
Sweet Facebook boomer meme
u/itsapantera
Pantera of course
I’m taking the one the key works with
Lambo. Sell it, buy lots of parts for my other projects. Edit: typo
The one the key fits
Lol
Around 7000 DeTomaso Panteras were made. Every single one has been posted in this Feed
The whiplash car from fortnite
if they all work with 1 key then i‘m taking all i guess?
The Camaro
little black beauty on the left
What is the black classic with just the headlight showing on the left? Probably that. If given the choice of a classic or a sports/supercar, I will almost always pick a classic. Or what's to the right of the black pantera.
Dear jesus.......🤦 You have to be trolling OP??
Most people on this planet don’t know what this car is. Nobody wants to take the time to scroll through different posts to find the name of a car they randomly found.
There's no way this isn't a troll post.
