The car will be called ADRNLN and will be restored by Ringbrothers for display at the 2013 SEMA show.

Randy Brickle, who was on a mission to revive the beautiful De Tomaso Pantera, tragically passed away before he could complete the project due to cancer. His widow, to honor him, has teamed up with Ringbrothers to complete her husband’s work.

The exclusive yellow paint was produced by BASF.

Under the hood of the De Tomaso ADRNLN is a Wegner Motorsports V8 LS3 generating 600 horsepower. It’s mated to a ZF five-speed gearbox supplied by Bowler Performance Transmissions. It has HRE forged wheels and Nitto tires.

In addition to the Italian coupe, Ringbrothers will also bring with them a 1965 Ford Mustang named the Blizzard. It’s a frost-white NASCAR-powered monster with a V8 engine producing 710 horsepower.
