71 Pusbutton or 73 GTS???

Wonder what the serial # is?

For what appears to be about 95% stock, I think it is overpriced.

The front air dam on a pushbutton should be illegal.

Anyone can stick things on a pushbutton, and this is what happened here.

That car did not leave Modena looking like that.

It has the flat deck lid and looks like a -1 ZF, so they probably just added the GTS graphics and that front air dam to a '71 push button and sold it to someone who doesn't know any better :/

Definitely not a GTS, but no big deal. As a pushbutton it should be worth more. Early seats, 3-vent dash, flat deck lid and the early formed inner fenders are all correct for the Pushbutton cars. A few hours removing the decals and filling/repainting the air dam rivets and you'd have a pretty nice car. I'd probably relocate those remote filters closer to the engine too. Seems to me like a long way for the oil to travel. I agree that the price seems a bit high considering the car probably isn't as nice as it looks from the shiny paint. But, until someone sees it in person...

I agree with all . . .pushbutton with a GTS make over. Doesn't have the GTS riveted flares. The interior, flat decklid, and transaxle indicate a pushbutton. The serial number would be better proof as Detomaso mixed and matched and I've seen early parts mixed with late on other cars. Needs to be checked for rust and body work as with any car to determine real value.

Has been for sale at the same place for over two years. He needs to come off the price some if he really wants to move it.

Two years!!! You'd think he would have budged on that price over the years...

It has already been answered, but I'll comment that this is a 1971 USA delivery Push-Button.

A GTS decal does not make it a GTS. Also note they misspelled De Tomaso name in the description.

A 6-speed? Probably not.

BTW This car is in the Registry.

Sure it's a six speed . . . if you count reverse!

...........And I do not think black was an available color on U.S. market cars from the factory.

Also has no GTS clock in dash and has standard steering wheel.

I learned at the Plaza display in Reno that the Euro GTS cars may not have had the clock.

But yes, all USA GTS cars did have the clock in dash, in front of the passenger.

Well I might email the seller (a very un-informed seller at that), for more pics (pic of the underside of the car & S/N plate at the least)...

Still the price seems high, since I would have to take off that front air dam & remove the rivets & decals.

But it's a pushbutton worth looking into (given that rust isn't an issue).

Chuck, what number do you have for the car?

I spoke to the owner and he said the S/N is: THPNLD01312

No shots of the underside, but he said he has owned the car for the past 25years...
