The 1983 De Tomaso Pantera GTS featured here is finished in stunning red over a wonderfully original tan leather interior. This particular example is a rare and desirable GTS model that was not sold new in the United States. It was imported to the U.S. by AmeriSport Inc. and gifted to Carroll Shelby by De Tomaso to encourage him to spearhead bringing the Pantera back to the U.S. market. Though Carroll Shelby passed away in 2012, the Pantera remained in his personal collection until 2018. Today it presents in highly original condition and only has 7,356 km (the equivalent of 4,571 miles) on the odometer. Its highly original condition, low mileage and ultimate ownership provenance make this De Tomaso simply the best example that can be found on the market today! We are proud to offer it to the most astute collector, investor or enthusiast who appreciates low mileage and excellent condition.
