@breiti posted:The white Pantera in Turin from 1980 is demonstrably # 9156. The Car still exists today and was converted to Group4 and painted in black by Gustav Hoecker Landau Germany on behalf of a customer in ca. 1985. Car is today 2nd hand. Kind regards
If #9156 is the Turin GT5 show car, that would be very exciting because this would make it the first GT5 and so we would finally have a starting point in the VIN sequence to count GT5 production from. Do you have some documentation that demonstrates it is the Turin show car? The correspondence I have on file also refers to it being displayed at the Milano Expo before being shipped to the German De Tomaso dealer Gustav Hoecker in Landau, so it is bit confusing. Perhaps it was displayed at both shows?
I have on file a copy of a 2019 advertisement stating the car was being sold with the original 1980 transfer papers "Modena - Landau Palatinate". If you have these papers, can you please contact me? The papers are a very valuable part of GT5 history, and it would be important to have copies for the registry.
