Thanks. I have a photographer shooting it and the Porsche this weekend. I will post. I have been trying to shoot video, but haven't gotten around to finding a camera mount.

Definitely larger than the GTS, they are GT5 flares. I tried to find a GT4 car, but couldn't at the time, so "settled" for a GT5.

I was behind one of these a few weekends ago in ny, the car had an obnoxious cam in it, it sounded ridic awesome. The car turned a lot of heads, it looked and sounded just over the top.

Very nice GT5! Great to see other Pantera owners on here.

I have a 74' GTS. Has been in the family since purchashed new off the Lincoln Mercury dealership!

Always liked the Panteras! They had a car show at the local mall when I was younger and there was a yellow one there and i've liked them since.

Obnoxious is a good word. My wife likes "vulgar".

Thanks everyone. It is always nice to meet people that have any sort of familiarity with these cars. I bought the car because it is unique, but the byproduct of that is constantly answering two questions:

"What is that?"

"Is that a Lamborghini?"

So true, everyone thinks it is a Lambo. It is a pretty rare car now....especially the GTS. I believe there are less than 50 true GTS models in the US.

The old man was accepted in the Cannonball run when new and still has the letter along with the second alternate gas tank (with a switch) that he installed!

I believe Pantera International had the one before mine in S America and the one after was totaled. Have 27k miles and was purchashed new by my father (old Ford exec) and has remained in the family.

I have seen 1 other true GTS in Michigan during the dream cruise. The other "GTS" I saw was an L origional that the owner added fenders and the paintwork to show as a GTS.

Do you have any pictures to share?
