Reply to "European GTS brakes"

The Euro GTS was what DeTomaso sold to the rest of the world '72-up while Ford was building Panteras for the U.S. When Ford pulled out and sold the operation back to DeTomaso in late '73, DeTomaso continued to sell the 'GTS' as a baseline model up thru the late-'80s. Some countries got specific parts (seats & lights among others were nation-specific). Plus, many GTS's were optioned up to the Gr-3 street-legal club-racer in Europe & Australia, which is where some of the confusion comes from. None of these options were available to U.S. owners, and even today many don't know what was available from the factory for the rest of the world. At one time there was an actual multi-page 'Optional Parts' Book. In the back of the black 1985 Pantera Parts & Accessories book is an abbreviated listing that includes Weber 48 IDA carbs and intakes, full roll cages, 10" Campys, ventillated hoods & brakes, oil coolers etc. Some of these parts (or similar ones) eventually became std. on wide-body Panteras of the mid-'80s.
Bottom line: since it's likely no two Euro GTS cars were built identically, you will either have an easy time 'building' one since no one knows exactly what they contained beyond Euro-faced gauges & parking lights, or a really difficult time documenting your add-ons. Good luck.
