Lot 203 | 1987 AMERISPORT DETOMASO PANTERA GT5-S 1 of 38 US Spec GT5-S cars and 1/182 GT5-S cars made in total. This 1987 Amerisport Detomaso Pantera is wickedly beautiful in gloss black, accented by gold. Subdued elegance belies the beast that lives within its finely sculpted all steel body work designed by American Tom Tjaarda at Ghia. With only 17,500 miles on the odometer over 36 years, the car is barely broken in and ready for use. In anticipation of that use, the seller has not only replaced the tires/wheels, but also replaced all belts, hoses, fluids, filters, lines, plugs, caps, rotor, wires, valve covers, gaskets, intake gaskets, and the air cleaner assembly. Lighting was upgraded with Hella H4 Lamp housing using 100W LED lamps. The factory tool kit is complete, the car has both the owner’s manual and the factory parts book. Expertly prepared by the seller after spending many years in a private collection, it is now ready to be driven across country or simply parked and lusted after.
