[DeTomaso] Beautiful Euro Pantera front bumper photo

[E B]

Two points about the car. 

First, it looks like it has 17" Campy replicas that have been painted, which in my opinion is the way they should be. The polished bling wheels have never done it for me, I know it is personal preference but I like the original look. 

Second, absolutely love the color. It is very similar to the color on my US GTS. My only criticism would be that I don't see the lower rocker painted black. In my opinion the black down below breaks it up and somehow makes it look more squat. 

That aside, it looks beautiful.

Hi guys,

Here's a terrific photo of Johnny Woods perfect '73 Pantera GTS, a RHD car
that he restored himself (other than the paint, which was done many years
ago for Johnny by forum lurker Roger Coates)

Click on the image and it blows up to mondo size.

This shows clearly where and how Euro Pantera front bumpers are installed
on a car that has an L-model-style front end, with the turn signals in
separate housings welded to the underside of the fenders.

(Little-known fact--RHD Panteras received different housings which were
roughly oval instead of rectangular, and were equipped with UK-market-specific
combination amber/white lights that were sourced from the Morris Minor
1100!)

Mike
