[DeTomaso] Bang & Olufsen factory Gr3 Pantera for sale

[boyd casey]

Mike,
Besides the roll cage and clearly upgraded master cylinder arrangement The
only visual clue to this being a race car is the  paint and the recaro style
seats and 5 or 6 point harness. I know a significant race history adds
substantially o the value of a car but what differentiates a GR3 from a
"normal Pantera. It is unusual to me to see such a stock interior and
instrumentation.  Is it something to do with the homologation regulations?
What unseen mechanical differences were there to constitute A Gr 3? What
engine modifications did it have and what does th Gr # conotate?
