Guys,
Just found the video and did a screen grab.
99.9% sure it's the Warren Tope car.
Note that the car has been wrecked--the right
fender and flare are damaged and the decklid looks like a
pretzel.
This car was
wrecked again and again and again during his ownership,
apparently. By the time he was done with it, the whole back
end had been destroyed and replaced with a tubular
structure. When it was sold to Europe a few years ago, what
wasn't wrecked was rusted to the point of translucency.
It has since been restored although they didn't attempt
to replicate the Gr4-specific chassis details.
I suspect they used another
Pantera as a donor car. Whether they transferred the
identity of the Gr4 to the street car or used bits of the
street car to rebuild the race car, I don't know, but I
dimly recall that the center chassis was original when I saw
it last, so I suspect it is the latter....

I never heard nor knew that a Pantera ever ran in TransAm.
This sounds like a job for Mike Drew. Only he
can solve this apparent warping of TransAm and Pantera
racing history.

SpeedTV ran a special titled "The History of the Trans
Am Series" and I found a copy on YouTube. About 29
minutes in there is a picture of a Pantera, I've never
seen this car anywhere else. Looks like iit may have backed
in to a wall earlier in the race.[image: Inline image 1]
