[DeTomaso] Shelby GT5-S on Discovery at 9 pm tonight

[Mike Drew]

Too late for anybody but the west coast guys, but tonight at 9 pm on the discovery channel, the show ‘Driven’ is all about the restoration of Carroll Shelby’s prototype GT5-S Pantera, which was powered from new by a turbocharged 340 Dodge!

I saw the car many years ago, engineless, languishing at the back of Shelby’s Goodyear race tire distributorship in Gardena, CA. At the time it had almost no miles on it, and was basically brand new, with the engine bay hacked up to accommodate the Dodge engine. It sold at auction last year. 

It should be interesting to see its restoration. I hope they can avoid all the stupid car restoration show drama and just do a good job.....
