DE TOMASO PANTERA GTS De Tomaso Pantera GTS european spec. The Pantera was designed by the Italian design firm Ghia's American-born designer Tom Tjaarda and replaced the Mangusta. Unlike the Mangusta, which employed a steel backbone chassis, the Pantera's chassis was of a steel monocoque design, the first instance of De Tomaso using this construction technique. The Pantera logo included a T-shaped symbol that was the brand used by De Tomaso's Argentinian cattle ranching ancestors, as well as a version of the Argentinian flag turned on its side, inspired by the company's founder, Alejandro De Tomaso, having been born and raised in Argentina. The car debuted in Modena in March 1970 and was presented at the 1970 New York Motor Show a few weeks later. Approximately a year later the first production cars were sold, and production was increased to three per day.

Our 3 owner from new GTS was "body off" restored a number of years ago and comes with the certificate from the detomaso factory proving to be a matching number GTS. We must say that she is the most original and complete GTS that we have seen up to date. Still just in excellent condition from the restoration. From every little dashboard light working to the original carburator and and intake manifold. She highly deserved to be driven by our best allround Belgian driver Mr. Le mans Jacky Ickx in the Targa Florio historical edition. Please give us a call to see this beautiful example.
