U-February Build 09400-Sequential Unit Number In recent years, the
DeTomaso Pantera has become a superstar in the world of supercars.
It was never ignored, but since its debut in 1971, it was relegated
to a fate of being compared to fully Italian supercars. The
presence of an American V8 and the implied impurity impacted the
values and desirability for the hybridized Italian-American sports
car. Well, no longer, in the past 30 years, it seems to have grown
into everyone's favorite car and values reflect the demand. There
is no doubt, it is unique, fast, exotic, and oddly patriotic. The
Ghia-designed bodywork was revised for the GT5 iteration of the
Pantera beginning in 1980, and changes included wider fiberglass
fender flares and a fiberglass front spoiler. This example is one
of approximately 183 GT5-S models built between 1985 and 1989 with
integrated steel fender flares and a molded steel front spoiler.
Only 40 of the 183 GT5-S models produced in 1986-1991 were sent to
the U.S It is finished in red and features white graphics, black
split bumpers front and rear, black moldings and trim, and quad
exhaust tips exiting below the rear fascia. Ford stepped away from
Alejandro De Tomaso's business as early as 1975, but that wouldn't
stop the Argentinian-Italian from selling his Panteras all the way
up until 1992. When American production of Cleveland 351s came to a
halt, DeTomaso began sourcing V-8s from Australia, and while still
building the bodies and interiors in Modena, the task of fitting
the powertrain, exhaust, and exterior trim landed in America. This
way, Kirk Evans' AmeriSport turned Panteras into domestic products.
Using this legal loophole put an end to the gray imports triggered
by the exclusion from Ford's dealer network and allowed DeTomaso to
focus on getting the Pantera ready for the '80s. Today, most people
would be hoping to find an early, unmolested DeTomaso Pantera saved
in a barn, and in case you're also after those classic 1970-74 Tom
Tjaarda lines, we hope you'll find our Pantera buyers' guide handy
in your quest. However, back in 1987, successful individuals who
were somehow still lacking Ferrari money were all about the latest
and greatest DeTomaso had to offer. The widebody kit and the
Countach-style rear wing gave Ghia's supercar a much more
aggressive stance, and while the GT5s featured fender flares and a
front air dam made of fiberglass, the GT5-S was an all-steel
wonder. We Sell and Ship Worldwide as Well as Provide and Procure
