From the PI Archives...

Note that DaveK posted up this really super link on the car. It was really ahead of it's time.

There is a really cool link in here that takes you to a listing of Race-configured DeTomasos! Check it!

Again - this is all PI Copyrighted Material from Winter, 1978. Thanks to George for making this available.

We updated the thread to get all the info into one file, see the attachment 6 posts down....

Unfortunately, the car didn't have a good end....

Check out #1603 on Provamo

Another Cool Article about the Car's Racing History

From ProvaMo:

"Hugh Kleinpeter of Georgia comprehensively enhanced this car for racing.

Later sold to Vic Manuelli of California. While racing at Riverside in 1983, driver Jim Harris was killed.

The car was completely rebuilt and raced again thru the mid 1980's. Then it was sold to the next owner in Georgia and later extensively fire damaged.

In March of 2006 the damaged car was offered for sale on eBay for around $35,000, but it didn't sell in a couple of auctions. These photos below are from the listing and from the seller."


Here's what it looked like in 2009...

Rocky,

Thank you for your comment on my website www.gr5pantera.com and for posting some of the older articles on the Kleinpeter racecar.

Over the next few weeks I will be posting a few "new" photos of this car as it ran at Riverside onto my
Group 5 Pantera" facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/gr5pantera/

Also, I've attached another "blast from the past" to add to your contributions on the history of this car as documented in previous PI magazines.

Dave
