Twin Turbo?
Adding Mike Drew's reply from the DT Mail List to complete the info in this thread:
quote:
DeTomaso didn't [make a twin turbo]. Dick Puxty did. He was the UK importer for DeTomaso, and he received the one and only right-hand-drive Pantera Si, cobbled together
a twin turbo package for the stock 5.0 liter Mustang engine, and he called it the "Pantera 200". The British press picked up on it and ever since then people have been incorrectly referring to all "Pantera Si" cars as "Pantera 200". When in fact, that was the name of that one and only car.
The car was sold to South Africa, but the buyer neglected the little detail of actually paying for it! It took a few years for the situation to be untangled, but eventually Dick got the car back and I believe sold it to somebody else in the UK.
Since that time, one other Pantera Si was converted to RHD, by the factory, for an Australian buyer.
