John,

Are you saying this may be a European GTS ?  Obviously the VIN doesn’t show 
the anticipated US designation of a GTS.

Just curious.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Gas Monkey Car Located

I was driving in Humble, TX today and passed an auto repair shop with
many classic cars parked out front.  To my surprise I saw an orange
Pantera among them.  As I passed by I wrestled with whether to stop.
About a mile later, I told myself to do so.

The new owner has it at the shop for metal repair.  While the exterior
looks good, the frame rails and front valence were toast. Left me
suspect that body work was previous done to the exterior. For the sake
of the current owner, I hope well.

I spoke briefly with the shop owner and he pointed out it was the Gas
Monkey car.  I confirmed it is true matching vins on Chuck's site. Here
are a few shots of the car.  I suspect it was originally a GTS based on
the stars in the vin.

Shrunk the pics to the max. Yet, files may still be to large for POCA list.
