Moffi,
Instead of building your own REPLICA of Pantera #001, why not own the real thing, why not purchase Pantera #001 from the Adlers? Its the real car, the car in the pictures. Fully restored. I'm sure you could purchase this car for less money than it would cost to duplicate it.
Then all you need to do is duplicate the original body work. If you make inquiries with the right sources in Italy, the original bodywork may still be laying around somewhere.

i did in fact have a talk with him, and instead of telling again, il just post the mails, i have my reasons you see
OK, that makes sense. I don't have a source for measurements on the 5 car, I am sorry.
You may want to contact Rene Killer in Switzerland because he is a historian and may have that data. He also has models of the car. His email is shown above.
My race car has a standard Pantera chassis under it. I would sell it to you for $200,000 USD. Thank you, Dave

i acctually would have bought yours and rebuilt it no doubt, only one major glitch with it, i cant get it registerd in norway(wierd crappy laws)
so i have to imort a car close to standard/original and have that approved, then search to rebuild it at the dmv, then there are two firms dmv and some random company to check if the build is within reason etc... taking forever... and the build is quite nice priced, 100.00-130.0000$ and thats with leather and carbon interior and 1200hp without blowers or nos.. and the tax laws make buing an expensive car ALOT more expensive, so yours would (if i could get it registerd) cost around 400.000+$ with our stupid laws and taxes..
would you happen to know who might have some measures of it? theres been build a couple of model cars of it, and im guessing they got it from somewhere...

Hi Tor,
No, I have no measurements of the Gruppo 5 Pantera. The excellent book on Pantera race cars by Phillipe Olcyzk has a nice selection of photos of the car. I recommend you purchase that book. It a fantastic read.
Rather than spend a lot of money on a replica, please consider purchasing my car and have the real thing. You could rebody as the Gr.5 or race it as the Group C and be eligible for vintage racing anywhere in the world plus have a very rare and valuable DeTomaso.
I will make you a special price.
Dave Adler

i was just woundering if you have any pictures of it in its previous look...
with the vents on the hood etc.. and if you happen to have the measures etc?
im going for a replica of that car and planning on hitting 330km/h with it so any answer would help me in the right way.
