1972 DeTomaso GTS

Rare European GTS with History

Chassis number: THPNML04509

    

Please do not compare this to the US Specification GTS, which was only a cosmetic upgrade. A European GTS is a true performance car, just one step below a Group 3 Pantera. These cars are very hard to find in this country.

Specifications
One of the first of three factory GTS Panteras brought into the U.S.
Featured in a road test article published in Road & Track magazine with famed driver Peter Revson only weeks before his death.
Hall-built engine.
Paint, body and interior in above average condition. Not a full show car, however, this would be the platform to turn into one due to the rarity and excellent history of the car.
Modern rotary style air conditioner.
Originally sold by the factory to Autosalone Piemonte di Carpanelli in Rome and used for the Rome Auto Show it is believed.
Although not verified at this time, by history, the car was raced in Europe.
Presently in ideal condition for street and track use. It runs very smoothly, cool and fast. Great sounds and performance from the 351C. This car benefits from its improved suspension and braking.
Unusual strut bar was fabricated by the late race car genius Doane Spencer.
Rare 8 and 10 inch Campagnolo wheels and Arriva tires.
This car pre-dates the U.S. specification GTS cars which were only cosmetic upgrades and were not performance cars like this European version.
MOMO Prototipo Steering Wheel.
Radio delete plate.
This is probably one of the rarest Panteras you will find short of the factory race cars like the Group 3, 4 and 5. This car will certainly appreciate much higher and faster than typical Panteras.
This car is not for sale. It has been sold to an enthusiast in Europe.
