[DeTomaso] RHD Panteras

[Mike Drew]

Guys,

The '17' figure refers to RHD GT5-S Panteras only. RHD GT5 Panteras are even rarer, only built in single digits (I think the number is 9). 

Australia imported a number of RHD cars that were delivered as rolling chassis, much like the Amerisport cars were. They had some unusual features, like one of the cars Joe Nardo owns which is a GT/4 with the big flares, full leather GT5-style interior, but has standard Pantera suspension and brakes, rather than the bigger brakes normally found on GT5, GT/4, and GT5-S Panteras.....

Good question, the only part I can answer with any certainty is the
fact the RHD cars were built in Italy the same as LHD cars.

I remember the 17 number from somewhere regarding RHD cars, so mostly
likely 'GTS' is correect, which confers with the registry. The registry
has has 58 RHD cars (including GTS) of known VIN and a few more
unknowns of the original Ford era (71-74). I know of some cars cars
converted to RHD after being delivered as LHD, but don't know if they
are included in that data.

Then there's the later 9000 series cars where the registry shows
roughly 50 RHD GT5/GT5-S cars. There's one Si, Joe Nardo's and that was
originally a LHD that was sent back to the factory for conversion to
RHD.

Am I correct?
There were only 17 factory RHD GTS? and they were built in Australia?
What was the total production of RHD (right hand drive) cars? GTS, GT5,
GT5-S, SI, etc?
Anyone... :-)
