>>>No, the Pantera L was the 'entry level' Pantera that De Tomaso sold 
(outside the USA) starting at the same time as the Ford Pantera L hit the 
scene--August of 1972.   The Pantera GTS was an upmarket version that De Tomaso 
sold, with a host of performance and cosmetic changes (and an options list a 
mile long).   De Tomaso also offered Gr3 and GT/4 racing Panteras at the same 
time.

You can see photos, specs etc. of all four De Tomaso Pantera offerings in 
the De Tomaso sales brochure, which is reproduced in its entirety in several 
of the Brooklands books...
