Reply to "A real GTS?"

"DeTomaso chose to call his cars sold in Europe and the far east as "Pantera GTS". So these are 'std' narrow body Panteras for Europe & elsewhere and were made until the early '90s (unknown total number)."

But not all of the Panteras sold in Europe were badged as GTS.  I have a 1974 Pantera sold by the Claude Dubois distributorship for DeTomaso cars in Belgium that is a Lusso.  It was delivered from the factory with small chrome bumpers, a tan leather interior, upgraded seats, no emissions plate, and several other differences from the Ford import.  The third photo below is of Claude Dubois' notebook from 1974 and shows my car #6973 as a Lusso.  It is the final entry in his notes.  The notes also show numerous Panteras that were designated as  GTS, G3, L, and no special badging.  The fourth column in Claude's notes are the buyers' names.
