Vehicle Description
1986 DeTomaso Pantera GT5-S In recent years, the DeTomaso Pantera has become a superstar in the world of supercars. It was never ignored, but since its debut in 1971, it was relegated to a fate of being compared to fully Italian supercars. The presence of an American V8 and the implied impurity, (along with some build and heat issues), impacted the values and desirability for the hybridized Italian-American sports car. Well, no longer, in the past 30 years, it seems to have grown into everyone's favorite car and values reflect the demand. There is no doubt, it is unique, fast, exotic, and oddly patriotic.  For consignment, 1 of the 138 purported cars built between 1985 and 1989 with integrated steel fender flares and a steel chin spoiler and 1 of about 40 Pantera GT5-S's in the United States after being imported by renowned Stoeffer in Florida.  A molded front spoiler, black split bumpers, and steel body-widening fender flares set the GT5-S apart from the regular Pantera, improving on the already impressive design of Ghia's Tom Tjaarda. This car has been meticulously maintained during the 22 years of our consignor's ownership and includes numerous upgrades or new items including air conditioning, power windows, and an AM/FM/CD radio and everything else being either new or rebuilt. It has a title verified 59,656 actual miles and is setting our main showroom on fire!  Our consignor notes that the original wheels and brake set up can be included for an extra cost. Exterior As if not loud and animated in shape alone, the red paint pulls every ray of the sun into this car and lights it up, even before you fire it up. Every bit of black on the car including vents, wings, mirrors, and trim look just a little bit blacker against the red backdrop. Few cars have the presence of a red GT5-S; even a Countach would have a hard time competing with this car in the Eye Candy Olympics. The stunning wide fenders give a mean looking car and even angrier disposition and by angry, we mean fast. The diminutive door handles are flush mounted and are similar in design to other Italian greats such as Lancia. The back of the car is the stuff of boyhood dreams. The flying buttresses leading to a Lamborghini Countach wing, the wide-set taillights, four upturned tailpipes, exposed polished suspension components, and those massive, massive rear tires. The wheels here are custom made 17-inch Billet replicas of Pantera wheels, surrounded by newer tires. From ten feet, the car is flawless, but our sleuth photographer was able to locate some imperfections.  We note numerous incidents of chips in the black paint of the window trim, some paint drips in various locations, scrapes of the chin spoiler, various paint chips, cracking, and some fiberglass damage near the decklid. Interior Earlier Panteras were relatively sparse and black, but this car greets you with cushioned Saddle leather that starts on the door where it is heavily pleated, as if they had too much material to work with.  A laminated burl wood rail runs through the door panel as contrast.  The pillowy leather bucket seats would make the Stay-Puft marshmallow man envious, more luxurious than performance oriented. We note just a bit of wear on the seat side where frictional ingress would take its toll. The hinge and seat hardware are polished and robust. More padded leather covers the wall behind the seats where the seat belt anchor bar is situated. The triple spoke Momo steering wheel contains the DeTomaso logo on the center cap and it also appears on top of the shifter, in the gauges, and on the carpeted floor mats.  Veglia Borletti gauges are black faced with light green numbers all fitted in a sculpted piece of glossy laminated burlwood which in turn is surrounded by saddle and black leather. Bravissimo! More gauges in the same surrounding are found in the center stack which also contains numerous toggle switches. Nearby, we find |
