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 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. The Ghia-designed bodywork was revised for the GT5 iteration of the Pantera beginning in 1980, and changes included wider fiberglass fender flares and a fiberglass front spoiler. This example is one of approximately 183 GT5-S models built between 1985 and 1989 with integrated steel fender flares and a molded steel front spoiler.
Only 40 of the 183 GT5-S models produced in 1986-1991 were sent to the U.S
It is finished in red and features white graphics, black split bumpers front and rear, black moldings and trim, and quad exhaust tips exiting below the rear fascia.
Ford stepped away from Alejandro De Tomaso’s business as early as 1975, but that wouldn’t stop the Argentinian-Italian from selling his Panteras all the way up until 1992. When American production of Cleveland 351s came to a halt, DeTomaso began sourcing V-8s from Australia, and while still building the bodies and interiors in Modena, the task of fitting the powertrain, exhaust, and exterior trim landed in America. This way, Kirk Evans’ AmeriSport turned Panteras into domestic products. Using this legal loophole put an end to the gray imports triggered by the exclusion from Ford’s dealer network and allowed DeTomaso to focus on getting the Pantera ready for the ’80s.
Today, most people would be hoping to find an early, unmolested DeTomaso Pantera saved in a barn, and in case you’re also after those classic 1970–74 Tom Tjaarda lines, we hope you’ll find our Pantera buyers’ guide handy in your quest. However, back in 1987, successful individuals who were somehow still lacking Ferrari money were all about the latest and greatest DeTomaso had to offer. The widebody kit and the Countach-style rear wing gave Ghia’s supercar a much more aggressive stance, and while the GT5s featured fender flares and a front air dam made of fiberglass, the GT5-S was an all-steel wonder.
