I don't know; my 42 year old paint still has a pretty good gloss.
I think that Muscle Car Of The Week just happened to call it a GTS when it is clearly just a base model. They are after all Muscle Car guys not Detomaso Pantera experts.
This car, as are almost all of the cars featured on Muscle Car of the Week, is from the "Brothers Collection". They have the most comprehensive Muscle Car collection in the world and own over 600 of the rarest ones on the planet including an all original Hemi Cuda Convertible, one of 11 ever built. These brothers are renowned for owning only the best at any cost; money is no object, so I highly doubt this Pantera is anything other that what it appears to be.
Here are a few of the Brothers unusual cars:
The very first Chevelle Z16 ever built, which was also the very first muscle car that Chevrolet ever built
- The very first Chevelle SS454 LS6 off the assembly line
- The only 1969 Mach I Mustang ever built with a factory sunroof
- The very first A12 (440-6) Roadrunner ever built
- The very last Hemi 'Cuda convertible Plymouth produced, One of the eight convertible Trans Am Ram Air III Firebirds that Pontiac built in 1969.
