Reply to "Pantera #9483 - 1987 GTS"

Interesting car, as for the truth of the statements about the motor, well I worked there summer of 1987, and this vin is not one of the ones that I worked on. It does look like it has the seats from Maserati, which were popular that year. I must have gone over to the other factory 3 times that summer to pick up the different sets of seats. They were taking them out of Biturbo S's that were completed, and "re-skining them."

As for the motors, that year, they were getting many of the motors from Australia. The only "unsual" motor that I ever saw was the one that went into an Armored Deauville. It was so heavy, that the motor and brakes had to be "upgraded" to meet the regulations. I can not recall who it was made for, someone in the Italian Parliment.
