1988 De Tomaso Pantera GT5-S 5 Speed Manual (LHD)

Finished in its original colour combination of Nero GTS coachwork with Linen hide, Black carpets and matching top role. Being a late GT5 this example boasts a host of non-standard options which include electric windows and air conditioning as well as a Burr Walnut dashboard with matching door-card fillets. The door-card fillets are also monogram inlayed with the De Tomaso logo. All these options combine to make a refreshingly comfortable and luxurious interior for a Supercar.

Having been cherished throughout its life, examples of this pedigree and importance rarely become available. With DD Classics having sold the car 5 years ago to its last custodian, where the GT5-S formed part of one of the most significant private car collections in Europe, we are enormously thrilled to be able to offer this incredibly special car. Examples of any Pantera in even close condition are seldom ever seen, let alone the legendary GT5-S and we are so proud to present one of the finest examples of the ultimate Pantera model.

The Pantera (Italian for “Panther”) is a mid-engined sports car produced by the De Tomaso car company of Italy from 1971 to 1991. With it’s mid-engined layout and burbling Ford V8 powerplant, it was arguably the successor to the Ford GT40, a road going version fitted with a tailored Italian suit. It was in 1988 that De Tomaso launched the greatest Pantera of all, the GT5-S, a great blend of phenomenal performance and vastly improved styling, produced in very low numbers. An analysis by the Pantera Owners Club of America (POCA) of the Vin numbers, suggests that 170 LHD GT5-S Pantera’s were likely to have been built out of a total production run of 187.

Our car is the vaunted GT5-S model, which has the distinctive wide-body look and blended arches. The GT5 also benefits from 18″ bare aluminium polished wheels, quad exhaust pipes, rear boot-lid wing, improved braking system and a more luxurious interior. The ‘S’ in the GT5-S name stands for “steel”, the car features a single piece of flared steel fenders instead of the GT5’s riveted-on fibreglass flares, and a smaller steel front air dam. Otherwise the GT5-S was largely identical to the GT5.

About De tomaso
De Tomaso Automobili SpA was founded by the Argentine-born Alejandro de Tomaso in Modena Italy 1959. Originally, they produced various prototypes and racing cars, including a Formula One car for Frank Williams' team in 1970.

De Tomaso produced three classic sports cars

Vallelunga a mid-engined sports car with an aluminium backbone chassis and 104 bhp (78 kW) Ford Kent engine, reaching a top speed of 215 km/h. Only 53 were made in total.

Mangusta, introduced in 1966 was the first De Tomaso produced in significant numbers. The car had an American Ford 4.7-litre iron-block V8 engine and steel and aluminium coupé bodywork from Ghia. Roughly 400 Mangustas were built before production ended in 1971.

De Tomaso's most famous (and numerous) model Pantera appeared in 1971 with a 351 Cleveland Ford V8 and a low, wedge-shaped body designed by Ghia's Tom Tjaarda. In total 6,128 Panteras were produced.
