FOR MANY YEARS I THOUGHT I OWNED THE LAST GTS IMPORTED. #7234. THEN 3 YEARS AGO I WENT TO A CAR SHOW AT KNOTTS BERRY FARM AND THERE WAS A GTS THERE WITH EVERY KIND OF DOCUMENT PLASTERED TO THE WINDSHIELD STATING IT WAS THE LAST GTS IMPORTED TO THE U.S. SERIAL #7235...sO I GUESS THATS THE LAST ONE. THE CAR HAD OVER 250K MILES ON IT.
Are you speaking of the European-only or U.S-only GTS? The GTS was DeTomaso's standard narrow-body model sold through 1987 in Europe. The U.S-only GTS was sold in late '73- early'74 in limited numbers and had 'GT' in the serial number, while Euro-GTS did not have it in their serials.
With exports going in both directions across the pond the last 15 years, the two models have gotten mixed. For instance, '87 Euro-GTS #9483 is in New Jersey, owned by GT-40 racer Charlie Seabrook.

The last Ford Pantera GTS is owned by the original purchaser, Ron Wade of Vancouver, Washington, with documentation and letters from Ford corporate headquarters in Detroit. I have the serial number written somewhere in my records. - Jim Coyne
