The verdict: From any angle, this is a superb car that cannot be duplicated at the offered price. We have attended many events where this car participated and provided reliable transportation to the owner. 

Since the number of these cars is very limited, less than 100, we anticipate that the GTS may one day become one of the most valuable of all Panteras.

This car is priced in the same ballpark as regular production Panteras.

Financing available, even 100% to qualified buyers at very attractive rates. 

If this automobile is within your price range, we invite you to evaluate this special car. 

Please check out the emissions requirements of your state. This car may not be smog legal in your state. We make no warranty or guarantee as to the fitness of this car in passing emissions testing outside the state of California.
Thank you.
