'1:18 Scale de Tomaso Pantera. This instant classic hit the market in the
early '70's as Ford's attempt to compete with Ferrari. Sold through
Lincoln-Mercury dealerships, the Pantera had "cutting edge" styling designed
by Ghia and featured a full monocoque chassis built around a Ford 5.7 liter,
351 cid "Cleveland" V8 engine. Now, nearly 30 years later, it's a highly
coveted exoticar. Measures 9.3L x 4.1W x 2.5H in. Warranted.* This limited
editions make a great gift for the Hot Wheels ® collector. Come with display
case or base. Ages 4 years to adult.' 

It said Ages 4 to adult, so I just made the cut...I think.
