1971 De Tomaso Zonda by Ghia

The De Tomaso Zonda was designed by Tom Tjaarda of Ghia and first shown to the public at the Geneva motor show in 1971. The Zonda featured a front-engined Ford Cleveland 5,563cc V8 with 350bhp, and the car was built on a shortened De Tomaso Deauville chassis.


The Zonda was conceived as a GT car to compliment the De Tomaso Pantera and sold alongside it in the Lincoln-Mercury showrooms in the US. However, Ford didn’t think there was a market for the car, so it was never put into production. The De Tomaso Zonda was later repainted red by Ford.
