I recently purchased a 1985 GT5. I can't seem to be able to find my battery? Help me please.

It's most likely recessed into the floor of the front "trunk" compartment.

Front trunk, under the carpet? Not sure about the GT5s, but on the early models it was in the front trunk and some owners moved to a box under the floor. By the way welcome aboard! There is also a DeTomaso BB that is a great resource.
The GT5 and later model Panteras have a factory drop battery box in the front trunk which has a cover likley covered in carpet too.
Where do you think the vendors got the idea for drop battery boxes for earlier cars!

Yeah, he could even have a carpet cover modified to cover the entire front trunk, which would make finding the battery even more of a secret to a newbie. Or if modified, some move them to the rear wheel well.
