Reply to "Pantera #9250 - and GT5 history"

According to Matt Stone and Rob de la Rive Box, the first “factory-noted” GT5 is #9250. Matt and Rob state, in their book Pantera Buyers Guide, that prior GT5s were "probably recorded as modified GTS units from about late 1980".

Bill Van Ess, who created the first De Tomaso registry, wrote of this car “This is supposed to be the start of the GT5 version. Birthdate 1/1/80”.

Franz Krump who really knows his stuff, wrote here on the PIBB back in 2005, “The First GT5 was shown at the Turin Motor Show in 1980. It was a white car and had chassis number 9250.”

We know the Turin Motor Show car was white, left hand drive and had no wing because we have photos of it. Here is the photo from the Wallace Wyss book:
