1981 GT5

Uh? Help us out here, okay?

OEM GT5 imported to USA or aftermarket conversion of a Ford imported car?

If the later, steel conversion or fiberglass?

Condition?

Photos?

Provenance?

Sorry, I'm in the forum system as well as pictures. Thought everyone knew. It is a 1981....no Pantera was imported by ford after about 74/75. It is a real GT5, #9191, I called Santiago Detomaso myself and had the car confirmed before I purchased it, yea I speak a little Italian. I purchased it from Canada about 8 years ago and brought it to Spokane WA.

$57036 the average price for a 1981 according to hagerty price guide report

One determining factor is whether it is legal in a state like California. Smog laws here don't exempt it by age. So for me, the price is driven by whether I could ever register it in our wonderful state.

Prices for "real" GT5s in stock shape are higher than what hagerty thinks, but again, find the guy with cash on any given day of the week is what it really takes.

good luck on your sale and post a picture if you dont mind.

Well crap, technologically challenged, how do you reduce the darn picture's to post. Looked in help and well.....no help.

I am no expert in photo editing, but I am looking foward to seeing your car.
Here is what I found using MS
right click on pic file and select open with MS Office Picture Manager, then chose Edit Pictures, then chose Resize, then choosePredertermined W&H, chose Web/Large, save and then post

Try to offer it over here in europe. Car will easily give 80-100k.

Thanks JFB, still took me 45 min to figure it out.

the other car

last week

Fun way to put tires in perspective

Sell the Testarossa, the Pantera is a better car to drive and offers greater future potential IMO.

Good original GT5 cars are being advertised north of $100k recently, I have no substantiation for actual sales prices though.

Take $10k off if you don't have the original Campi wheels available with the car.

Julian

not original wheels. Do you have?

These are the original wheels.

Let me know what your asking asking I have a serious buyer who has recently contacted me.

I like the Pontiac's also , for me mor interesting than the Ferrari.

All cars are fun, can't keep them all. The Ferrari is a 1994 512TR, 1 of 38 made, currently worth between 185k-205k. Not a Testarossa by far. So the pictures don't show the the other cars.

Mark,
Beautiful car, Joules, I don't have the original wheels, bummer, but they make them now out of Magnesium per original. If the Ferrari goes, yep, I'm ordering magnesium new GT5 wheels tires. Hence the original question which car goes.
The Cobra,427cu. 585hp, Courtney chose when she was about 3 yrs old, now 19 and is still her choice.
The Trans Am, 400cu. 705hp, Connor chose when he was about 4 yrs old, now 16 and still his choice.
The Camaro convertible pace car...well the wife wants a date car to drive to the coast, presuming with me.
The Shelby...well it's kind of a car that I have because my Dad had one so we are restoring it together sort of, so it stays.

I have to be very honest, the Ferrari is so fast, really fast, handles, stops corners, and.....well, it's a Ferrari. With MS Racing exhaust the sound is F1 heaven and about 450hp. I raced my pals 1970 hemi cuda, headers cam etc....stomped his butt. Dead stop to about 70mph.
All said the GT5 is a rush of it's own, love it to. It unfortunately will come down to dollars and cents, which sucks.
Our kids are worth it, they come first, cars second, wife third. lol. yes, I already tried to sell the wife.
