Reply to "Pantera #001 - Group 5/C "gruppo5". Information & Pictures needed"

This is not the burned out car that was on Ebay. I think that one may have been the Kleinpeter car, which was originally a stock '71 car heavily modified by privateer Kleinpeter.

I talked to Dave at Concurso '07 and he was saying his factory GRP5/C car sat at Auto Elite in Modena for 20 yrs, he had a hell of a time negotiating to buy it and then a bunch of hurdles to get it into the US.

Dave also has Whiplash, which I think I'm right in saying was a GRP3 car modified to GRP5 spec.

FWIW Patrick Hals in Belgium owns the 'Candy' car now and at least one other Factory Group 4 car. He hangs out on the De Toamso e-mail list and might be a good resource for information.

If you don't have a copy Philippe Olczyk's book De Tomaso "Macchina da Corsa" is a must for historic racing information and photos. George sells it through the PI bookstore.
