Reply to "Pantera #9103 - GT5? Advice sought"

joules"Racing is Life, anything before or after is just waiting" - Steve McQueen

I just noticed it is for sale on Ebay;

Those are GP4 flares not GT5, I don't know if they are the steel or fiberglass versions. I also don't think the car came from the factory that way, but then again this is a very early 9000 series car and anything is possible from De Tomaso. It has an interesting mixture of old style door trim, with new style seats and burlwood dash. It also has US style impact bumpers and sidelights which would indicate it was built as a US destined car originally.

Looks a nice car, but aesthetically it needs wide rear wheels or better 'offset' to fill the flares. As long as this Pantera 'talks' to you and you are happy with it for what it is then go for it. But beware if you are buying it solely as a 'rare' factory car, as I don't think it is necessarily that. It has a number of non-factory upgrades, most notable the airsupply switch under the left side of the dash and pump in the front trunk.....air bags suspension up front maybe?
