The Pantera GTS is the ultimate itteration of what was one of the most iconic Exotic cars ever produced. This example from 1974 was originally ordered for DeTomaso's German Importer as a full GTS model. The VIN # states it to be an "L" model but was ordered to GTS specs prior to leaving the factory in May of 1974. To verify this is a letter directly from DeTomaso Modena SPA dated May 21st 1991 to it's then & current owner from Puerto Rico. After leaving Germany to be imported into Puerto Rico, this Pantera # 6059 was then converted to US spec for both EPA & DOT requirements adding the US spec front rubber bumper to it's original Euro front end. It is an original GTS having it's original color combo of Red & Black 2 toned exterior w/a Black vinyl interior. It's original matching motor # 05404 is still aboard & runs rather good & has a beautiful exhaust note. It's ZF 5 speed transmission appears original to it's build specs. The GTS was the last series of Pantera's 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 ! These Pantera GTS's had the following options that seperated them from any other Pantera: All chrome blacked out Ferrero steering wheel, GTS wheel logos, Pop riveted fiberglass fender flairs, Flat black rocker panel stripe widened and "Pantera GTS" written on the stripe (this was left off when she was pained by it's owner) & Gloss black metallic front hood and rear compartment deck. This GTS also came from DeTomaso wearing it's 8 X 15" Campy Wheels up front & it's 10 X 15" Campy wheels in back. It has had much recent maintenance work done on it's powerful 351 motor as well as complete new brakes, rotors & all that make her stop well. The paintwork is very nice. The interior appears rather original & can use a little TLC but it is all there. It was equipped with factory Air Conditioning, but a few major components are missing under the back hood & it's last owner did not care to have it repaired. The 28K miles on the clock appear to be close to correct but the speedo is not registering it's speed & will be sold Miles excempt. The best part of this particular GTS is just how original & complete the car is. Please call w/offers., $59,500 obo ,, Advertiser Since 2005
