This pretty thing is a sight to behold...an unrestored original icon from 1974...the DeTomaso Pantera GTS ! It is a rare thing
to come across an all original example of anything good. This GTS was the last series of cars that the Lincoln-Mercury dealers
sold new thru their Dealer Network. They were a flop being gas was a wopping .59 cents a gallon & the 60's Muscle Car craze was dead already !
One of the last 97 cars imported to the US, these Pantera GTS's had the following options that seperated them from any other Pantera :
All chrome blacked out Ferrero steering wheel with Ghia emblem, GTS wheel logos, Pop riveted fiberglass fender flairs, "GTS" script mounted
where "Pantera" script was (on the rear), "Pantera" script in place of "DeTomaso" script (on the rear), Flat black rocker panel stripe widened
and "Pantera GTS" written on the stripe, Gloss black metallic front hood and rear compartment deck, Ghia emblem on the front bumper (instead of
the usual DeTomaso emblem), Dash mounted clock installed & a GTS emblem on the gear-shift knob. This example has a total of 2900 original miles.
The car is still wearing 100% of it's original Yellow & Black Paintwork & the interior looks like it's brand new for a 34 year old ! I am the 2nd
titled owner being it was on it's original MSO thru 1994 until Carroll Hughes bought it from a Chicago Dealer w/1900 miles. It has it's original
Goodyear Arriva tires in storage with under 1900 miles from new & these P-7's on it have 1000 total miles in 14 years. This has got to be the best
Pantera GTS US spec car in the world !! We will be trailering it to a Concours Car event near you ! Stop by & say Hi...
