How nice is that!!

Off to youtube to have a good listen

May I recommended: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRLggRd6y7w

It goes at about 20secs but I like to listen to it before hand

[soad]

Oh yeah, that sound

What a machine, I do love De Tomaso Pantera's, so very, very pretty.

Oh boy, now your talkin. Lovin this car especially the colour. I'll bet it sounds as good as it looks. I was out at this years Pebble Beach Concours and spotted one and got to talking to the owner, I'd never riden in one before so I asked if it would be possible to go for a little tour, he could see the boyish look in my eyes I guess and the twenty I offered for gas was the clincher. He certainly gave me my twenty dollars worth. It's a ride I won't forget that's for sure. The sound of that V8 in the cabin was unreal.

Good morning, from California.

Just a great car, great build. Get rid of the 'Wing' interrupts the whole flow of the lines.

While I don't want to detract from the author's car, which is just superb, this article has distracted me from work for a good half hour, but well justified given some of the examples out there...

that's just wrong

Something to do with Prince Philip's genes I think!



Back on topic, that is a truly beautiful motor. As per a number of other on here, I was introduced to the Pantera by Top Trumps back in the 70s and have loved the look of them ever since...

That's the definition of awesome. Utterly perfect, fantastic colour as well.

Not so sure of the wheels there Dod.

If you want to go taller than the original Campag's then these Dragway wheels look nice;

Good Afternoon from Texas.
I really like the metallic blue color. I have a 1987 in black with beige interior, the Amerisport wing, and recently modified quad high intensity headlights.
My engine is a 351 cleveland which has been bored and stroked to 393 ci which dynoed 450 hp.

Cars don't get much cooler and more manly than this. Suberb!

[pSynrg]

Of course nothing but car love for these wonderful creations.

But the shots on here do give it some 'poor mans' Countach, but it could just be the wing...

I've only ever seen one GTS in real life and it was on the road near Ipswich @ roundabout on A14. Solid sky blue colour.

You know those moments where you completely loose track of where you are, what you're doing, your name etc. - my jaw did actually drop and I completely missed my turning as a result plus nearly rear ended a car in front. For this reason alone they are clearly dangerous and should be banned! Absolutely awesome - in the truest sense of the word.

Champagne interior = pretentious gash (but that's my problem).

That black one with the Dragways is completely immense.
