Thank-you George. As you say, there were quite a number of Guaras' build with the BMW 4.0L V-8. ... Changed to the DeTomaso homologated Ford Cobra DOHC 4.6L V-8.
I would also add the DeTomaso Bigua, later to become the Qvale Mangusta also had a DeTomaso homologated Ford 4.6 DOHC Cobra engine.
Finally, my last dig at my pet peeve. We only have to look no further than ourselves to see just how not fully informed we are of the DeTomaso marque.
Returning to what this post is about. I find the modifications very interesting - particularly the front end. I would very much like to see the final product. It may very well look superficially Pantera GT5ish.
