[DeTomaso] Challinging restoration of a '74 GTS

[Julian Kift]

A true Euro GTS or US GTS? It doesn't look to have the mouse hair dash so probably a US GTS, which is just a paint scheme isn't it?
Either way I can't see there ever being any collector value in a car that has been so heavily hit. I commend someone for trying to rescue it, but unless it has some great sentimental value to the owner/restorer the sensible thing is to let it go....
