The De Tomaso Monttella also known as the Pantera 7x was a concept car made by De Tomaso in 1973. Designed to be the next generation of the De Tomaso Pantera, the vehicle was shown at various auto shows throughout 1974. The vehicle shared the same chassis and drivetrain from the Pantera, while incorporating a new body penned by Tom Tjaarda of Carrozzeria Ghia. The vehicle was initially known as the Pantera 7x, taking its name from the planned 197x introduction of the next Pantera model. Unfortunately, Ford ended its involvement with De Tomaso in late 1974, before anything could come of the new model. While in the possession of Ghia 1975, the car was given a new Pearl While over Metallic Bronze paint job and the Pantera name was replaced with Monttella. Ghia showed the vehicle to other manufacturers in hopes of putting it into production, but after five years without success the Monttella was sold to a sports car dealer in Michigan.
