The
DeTomaso Pantera GT5-S is a very rare Pantera. Of course, this is
not a factory GT5-S, but rather, a very well built replica by Hall
Pantera. It is rendered in all steel, which is a very expensive
and time consuming process, costing at least $20,000 to execute,
not including paint. |
|
Titled
in California. |
|
As
a bit of history on the GT5-S, the first one was built in 1984 and
shown to the public at the Turin Motor Show. It was sold later by
the factory to Austria as a 1985 model. The chassis number is
9375. Nobody seems to know for sure how many were actually built
between 1984 and 1990, however, there are 187 numbers between the
first and last built GT5-S, including GTS cars. It is estimated
that there were no more than 150 GT5-S cars built. The last
factory car wears chassis number 9562. |
|
This
car was born as a GTS and is a 1983 model year, itself a rare car
and very rare in this country. The last GTS of this vintage that
PI Motorsports, Inc. sold was over 9 years ago and the car sold
for $40,000.00. |
|
This
Pantera benefits greatly from being a late model car due to the
improved build quality of the later factory cars. There are many,
many differences between this car and the 1971-1074 U.S. spec.
Panteras. For example, please note the square edges in the wheel
houses in the engine compartment. |
