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

quote:
It is a real GT5. I have 9203 which is a 1982. Thirty cars a year? Peter H, is that about right? It was probably imported from a Scandanvian country.

I can see the mods that have been made which seem to be minor: front bumper, wheels, intake, interior door panels.

If my memory serves #9250 was the GT5 show car and based on that DT retrofitted some in progres cars like mine (#9178) and yours with GT5 body kits. Mine was in production destined to be a GTS when an order came in for a GT5 and it was 'updated' to the new GT5 look.

Rather than seeing 'mods' I see an amalgamation car, one of the very early 9000 series, probably built using leftover parts from the Ford era, which is most likely a GTS, with addition of GP4 flares. Those flares are most definitely GP4 style not GT5.

Here's a question for you; Did you car come with the US bumpers and sidelights from the factory or were they added this side of the pond for grey market 'compliance'?
