Jim, you've just proved my point, we in the Pantera hobby don't have a good grasp of what "concours" refers to. The Ferrari guys, Shelby guys, Corvette guys, would be rolling their eyes.

The car is a beautiful modified Pantera, but not a concours car at all. Its all semantics, but we're being persnikety today.

We also need to be careful not to hijack Tom's topic, this is after all a car for sale ad. What I'm reading from Coz & Ron, guys who have seen Tom's car, is that it is an absolutely gorgeous, stunning, show car. From the pictures I've seen of it, I would agree.

Tom, good luck. I would be interested in knowing what it sells for (privately if not publicly), as it is one of those rare "high water mark" Panteras.

Back in the olden days the term "concours" was often generically used to describe the quality of the car.
Sometime between then and now it became a legal term.

That's what I always thought too.

I am sorry. It is a beutifull car and I hope you sell it. I am being an asshole cause I am jealous I guess. Good luck, I wish you only the best.

Thanks all for the supportive words. You are all right-on with the comments. The Pantera that I am selling is in fact a "replicated" GT5 with a resto mod twist. As far as being concours...call it what you will. What I am sure of, is that the car is extremely high quality and has won best of show or first place wins in every formal concours show that it has entered. Watching the crowd enjoyment and the exposure of DeTomaso emerge as a winner against other marques at these events is priceless. When DeTomaso takes best in class, it gives our brand a boost. And oh yeah, it's fun to whip the Lambo's and Ferrari's ass!

At the risk going out on a limb and sawing it off (as I often do), the car is just plain ole FANTASTIC!
The pictures are just unbelievable and I suspect don't even do the car justice!
Best of luck on the sale. I'm not jealous, I'm envious.
Someone is going to get the car of a lifetime.

Anyone know if the builder was Shell Burger out of AZ? It has some of the same characteristics of my Group 4 conversion, Ron Davis radiator, same aluminum fabricated spreaderbar, & such.

So, have there been any offers on this car? Really curious what the selling price is. Maybe I could afford it.

Of course I'd have to paint it white. Just kidding...

This beautiful Pantera is listed for sale on the Pantera International Club web site, pricing included.
