I am looking to to see if anyone can point me in the direction of who now has a custom 1973 Detomaso Pantera … formely known as “Pur Gold” of George Peloquin. One of the best known and loved pantera showcars in the world.
I am his grand daughter and have been looking for years to see what his car looks like these days. He passed away in 2008 and have been told to come to this forum to ask.
thank you.

If you have anything with Vin send it over
The VIN# is 5923, it bounced around and sold through Barrett-Jackson back in 2010. It was stripped of gold and has a more stock appearance now, but still looks great.
The vin number is THPNNA05923
Rocky, that ad is from 2012, it has changed hands and is now just pur, no gold!
Hi Joules - yes, I know that, but the person who sold it in 2010 might be able to give Sterling more info!
Just trying to be helpful!
I remember when it sold a B-J in 2010 the hammer price was super low. Then I spoke to the then owner at Cars and Coffee Irvine. It was still gold then. I would also love to see a picture of it sans the Gold.
Do you happen to know when those most recent pictures were?!
So, Is this the same car I posted about back in July?? The time frame works too

That's the same car. The VIN on the West Coast Exotics website matches.
Definitely my grandfathers car!
I am so glad to see it in this condition! Thank you!
Sterling,
If you want to pursue this further, contact West Coast Exotics. They may be willing to contact the buyer and let them know you were looking for the car.
I'm friends with the owner of West Coast Exotic Cars. I can get the info for you if the staff isn't helpful.
Thank you so so so so much, I will let you know ! I’m forever grateful for this.
Unfortunately they were not much help…
It's because of privacy issues. The owner is racing this weekend in Sonoma. I'll try to get ahold of him and ask for an email or something.

I only know this car from that you tube video. Must be one of the best Pantera builds out there. I assume it will show up at a car show one day or someone reading this forum
