REWARD!! GTS/GT5 widebody

Julian (Joules5) would get the finder's fee for this one.....

Or perhaps you can get him to sell you the GT5 that he just bought.

There's also a red supercharged one somewhere on the east coast....

Maximus you don't say whether it needs to be a 'factory' wide body. The ~'84 Euro GT5 on Ebay UK looks pretty good for the $$ if you do want an original, although the exchange rate is not in your favor at present. Closer to home (well in your case I'm not so sure, but at least already US titled) what about Emery's '74 GT5 conversion in Hawaii, a real nice example and posted for sale here very recently.

Really hoping to get an original one!Not looking for modified pantera-The one in England would require D.O.T. mods-may be a hassle bringing in to states-I have a stock 87 GTS but it is a narrow body.

johnscotti.com has that silver one for sale in Montreal actually. You might even be able to work out a trade being your GTS is kind of a rare car too!

Yes, I forgot about the John Scotti GT5 it's ben there so long. Maybe a good time to make and offer and the exchange rate has moved in your favor as the CAD$ is now up to 1.18 per US$.

Here's the link.

John Scotti '82 GT5

Maximus,

The thread below contains some discussion on the Scotti car, plus an 83 GT5 #9195 that Johnathan Mastromettei, from Ottawa was selling. If I remember coprrectly he posted that he was going to sell it come spring, so you may like to PM him (username; Detomaso83) and see what the situation is, unless our other Canuck participants already know the fate of this car?

Maximus, Jonathan's red GT5 is a very clean wing-less car and, depending on your objectives, might be a good starting point. It's a very original car with virtually no mods. Let me know if I can help, as he lives less than an hour from me.

Maximus, I'm in Montreal if you need help with Scotti. I bought my two cars from him and know the Scotti folks well.

Thanks Guys!! Scotti silver gt5 not too crazy about! it has been there a while and for a reason(full repaint and engine change??) however I would like to make contact with Jonathon or if someone can to find out status of his pantera.

Maximus,

As you say real GT5's are rarer than rocking horse sh*t and at the right price the UK car may not be as much hassle as you perceive to get into the US.

A day and half left to go and its at GBP 16,000, okay reserve not met, but hopefully it is set somewhere realisitc and lower than 'buy it now' which could make it a 'fair priced' example. Sea freight to the East coast via container should only run about $2K.

Coz brought in #9178 from Italy, so he has been there. It may pay to touch base with him as to the pitfalls of importation.

Also if you find you are at all interested PM Johnny Woods in the UK, he if anyone may know more of this UK car.

If I hadn't just purchased one, I'd be giving at least a cursory look at this car.

I e-mailed owner of the UK car and got no response?? He may not be eager to sell to USA? there has to be some good ones here in US or canada-thanks for your reply!

There are many cars available. US and Canada. Some that have been for sale for a long time. What is your budget?

hello-Really do not have a budget-it really depends on the car/needs/originality/mileage etc..I suppose a nice original and not a show car would be worth around 55-60K mint 65-70? and one with needs 50-55K. Not real up on values-I guess it also depends on color,ownership etc.. maybe some feedback from other members would be helpful!!
