Testors Ford
Pantera DeTomaso GT Model Kit

| |
A
Testors Ford DeTomaso
Pantera kit.
Unfortunately,
it is only a curbside model (no engine), but better than nothing.
It was originally a motorized type kit. (but none of those
parts are included).
The
Pantera is one of my favorite all time 1:1 cars.
This
example is not a difficult build. I was molded in black, so
it did take several coats of primer, and Testors
Gloss Red to cover that up.
While
this kit is in a Testors box, I think it was originally a
Fujimi or Hasegawa kit. Either way, we really need another
kit of the Panteras released with a full engine and suspension
detail.
This
particular example was my second or third time building this
kit. They are difficult and expensive to find today.

- DeTomaso
Pantera - In recent years, interest
in the DeTomaso marque has increased dramatically. Good Panteras
are harder to find each year, and values continue to rise. What's
fascinating about the Pantera community is that no two owners
seem to prepare their cars in the same way, and in fact completely
original cars are a minority. Unlike in the Corvette, MoPar or
Ferrari world where originality is worshipped, in the Pantera
constellation, modifications and upgrades are for the most part,
accepted and encouraged as long as they are done to a very high
standard. This color picture book presents all of the models of
Panteras that were offered by the factory in Italy, including
the GTS, GT5, GT5-S and the very rare Group 4 race cars. In sharp
contrast, mild to wild owner modifications of these cars are shown,
including blowers, turbos, massive brakes and carbon fiber body
panels, to name a few.
