Pantera #9051 Looking for history

pasnbyuMember

Looking for previous owner or any history on this car. I've had it for 25 or so years and am trying to determine what engine work was done on it. The battery holder had a liner in it that says "Custom made for Mike Finch by Green Valley Upholstery." It would have been easy if it had said Larry Finch. Any help would be appreciated.

It is listed on the Provamo registry as a medium blue 1977 GTS sold to Alexandre by Claude Dubois.

You should submit some photos!

Tim, know there is a special Registry for 9000-series cars such as yours. It is run by Peter Havlik in British Columbia, and #9050 (built '78) and #9053 (built '80?) are in Peter's List, but yours is missing at this time. There are nearly 150 such late model Panteras included, all the way to the last Pantera SI's, most with info and multiple photos. Contact Peter at [peter.havlik@ME.com].

Panteras built after Ford could be ordered from DeTomaso-Europe with an upgraded engine (350 bhp or more), so if in fact it has a modified engine or ZF, they may have been factory done.

Thanks guys. I sent an email to Peter and will check into Provamo. I already know more than I did before.
