Reply to "Pantera #9008"

Vouker:

I regret that I am unable to add any information to what everyone has written above. Your car is a Maggiora Carrozzeria coach and, as George has written, likely a GTS modified later to GT5. I say "likely" a GTS because De Tomaso would build cars to custom specifications and so it may have started life as a Gr3 or other variant of the GTS. The one thing we can tell you with certainty is that, with a VIN of 9008, it was not originally built as a GT5.

There were no more than 100 Maggiora cars produced at a rate of roughly 30 per year, and therefore it is a rare car.

If you provide us with more photos we may be able to say more. Did any paperwork come with the car that could shed some light on its provenance? What did your father tell you about it?
