Hi Mike. I have only two records for your GT5-S. The first is from a list by Claude Dubois, who was an important De Tomaso dealer/exporter in Belgium whose company, SAMI, was based in Geneva. On his list, your car is shown as red with a black interior and as having been initially sold in 1985 to "Stauffer". This is a reference to George Stauffer, a major importer of Panteras in the 1980s who was based in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin. Claude Dubois told me Stauffer purchased about 30 Panteras from him between 1983 and 1986. However, the sale of your car to Stauffer appears to have been cancelled for some reason and I cannot decipher the explanatory notes and marginalia. Interestingly, it does not show as being sold to Amerisport, so it will be interesting to see how it eventually got to Kirk Evans.

Bill van Ess, in his registry, had a couple of separate references to 9421. On page 188, he cited it as a red 1987 model owned by Roland Au in California. On page 236, he gives the Amerisport VIN as 1A9PN8745HD111014.
I would love to see some photos of your car, as I expect many others here on this forum would too. Do you have some that you could post?
