#9203 - 1982 Pantera GT5 for sale in Lille, France

Always loved that car…. Very famous.  Great representation of the Marque.

I wasn't sorry to see her go. We had fun together for 30 years and enjoyed many miles together. But there was nothing left to do to 9203. The owner in France never drove it 😳 claiming it was too fast for him. I explained that his right foot was the speed control. I really don't  know why he bought it. I think he liked how it looked or maybe he just wanted to double his money. Anyhow, surprisingly it didn't do anything for me when Peter showed me the ad. I thought I would have some feelings - but apparently not. Either I'm just cold hearted or 3271 still has my complete and undivided attention. 😏

I am really looking forward to your getting 3271 finished and on the road. Your morning drive narratives that you shared with us when you had 9203 were inspirational for those of us who like to drive our Panteras in the way they were intended.  I hope you will resume writing those wonderful stories soon, this time based on your experiences with the new Beast!

I have attached a few "greatest hits" photos below as a tribute to you and to your exemplary stewardship of your former chariot. [Photo credits for the professional ones go to Mark Charlton]

I'm new to the group.  9203 is headed to San Antonio Texas.  I've planned on building a GT5 for a long time, but this one seemed to be done right.  Its on a ship as we speak. Im excited to finally be a Pantera owner.

Congratulations, LeeN, and welcome to theDe Tomaso community! I hope and trust you will not only enjoy the car, but also the comradeship and support of your fellow owners. That is what really sets the De Tomaso world apart from that of most every other marque.

By the way, I hope your purchase came with the massive collection of spare parts that the French owner acquired it with, all carefully bubble-wrapped to look like it was a shipment from Pablo Escobar.

That's great news! I just sent Lee a private message congratulating him on the purchase and offering any help he may need. I'm so glad to see this car back in America!
