[DeTomaso] 1974 DETOMASO PANTERA GTS ORIGINAL, UNRESTORED PROTOTYPE - $85000

[Mirril M. McMullen]

Guys,

I saw this car at a big Italian car show in Bergen County NJ in September.

The owner explained that this car was built for a Ford executive (who was working in Italy on Pantera production) as the first GTS.

It looked legit.... but too much original 70's tripe for my taste.

But if its original, you don’t want to change it.

So... I wasn’t motivated.

#6859 WAYBAC.

IMHO Opinion...Puffery.
I have no idea why one would prototype
a trim package that had been made for years.
GTS models were made in Europe
in previous years, it is true that US GTS models were only made in 1974. 150 of them in total.
This would be 1 of 60 made in silver/black (if the serial tag confirms it is a GTS) There are also 6O black cherry/burgandy and Black and 30 in Yellow/Gold and Black.
