Description:

Original 1984 DeTomaso factory GT5 Pantera, chassis #9313, converted to full race Group 5 “tribute” or “re- creation”. Far rarer than the factory DeTomaso Group 4 Panteras, there are only a few original Group 5 Panteras ever built. This “re-creation” has been designed and modified based on the originally homologated Sala-Williams Group 5 Pantera, chassis #001, as raced in Europe and the Hugh Kleinpeter IMSA GTX Pantera as raced in the USA. Tube frame front/rear sections are integrated into full safety cage built beyond the original Gr 5 standards. Front/Rear composite body sections mount to tubular sub- frames for light weight and facilitating quick maintenance similar to the Sala-Williams Gr5 and Kleinpeter IMSA Panteras. Full history and build pictures at www.gr5pantera.com. See also www.facebook.com/gr5pantera for additional info and pictures. I am selling the car as a “rolling chassis”, but can tailor a complete package with drive-train depending on what class and regulations you may wish to run under. I can also have the car completed depending on the “options” selected. The chassis could be completed to match the intent of building a correct/legal Group 5 “recreation” or “tribute/clone”. Or it could easily be configured as a track-day car using a more modern engine and parts to race under a bit more liberal rules package. Chassis includes: GT5 Molds for front/rear clips, GT5 Molds for R/L doors, Interior w/fire system, dual Sparco seats,front mounted Fuel Safe fuel cell. Options to complete the car available at additional cost include: 6L Elan LMP1 alum engine with carbon EFI intake (see www.gr5pantera.com/engines), New Ford Racing 341 cu-in engine with Kinsler EFI and EFI Technologies ECU (see www.gr5pantera.com/engines), (2) engines from ex-LeMans ADA racing Pantera (need rebuild), Motec ECU, Ignition Expander, relays and full chassis and engine wiring harnesses (see www.gr5pantera.com/electronics), Original ZF gearbox & bellhousing, (2) Polished stainless mufflers with custom mounts (see www.gr5pantera.com/gr-5-build-gallery), (2) Willwood GN calipers and disks (new), (2) AP brake calipers, (1) set of new Kodiak race wheels (will be built to your specs), Multiple other wheel/tire options including Gotti or Jongbloed wheels, Set of molds to convert body to late model Pantera Si, Many misc parts including: engine/trans mounts, sway bars, spare suspension parts, etc. Aside from the original Sala Group 5 and Kleinpeter IMSA GTX, I believe this is the most modified race chassis while still being based on a production Pantera chassis. It goes far beyond the changes made for the more common Group 4 racing Panteras (which are selling well into the 6-figure range) with improved safety and performance. This Pantera provides a unique option to race alongside epic Gr 5 cars such as the Porsche 935 but at a fraction of the cost!
