Franz Krump's Rare DeTomaso Pantera SI Targa
Author: Franz Krump's cars and pictures (more...)
SOME WEEKS AGO I SAW THIS RARE CAR ON A GERMAN SITE FIRST. I TALKED
SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE SELLER, BUT IT WAS TOO FAR AWAY FROM MY BUDGET
AND SO I THOUGHT I NEVER CAN GET THIS CAR. 2 WEEKS LATER, WHEN MY WIFE
HEARED ABOUT, SHE CALLED THE SELLER AND SAVED THIS CAR FOR US WITH
ADITIONAL 17.000,- EUROS FROM HER OWN MONEY!!!!!!!
THE LAST BUILT PANTERA WITH CHASSIS NUMBER 9641 IS SITTING AT THE
FACTORY MUSEUM IN MODENA, SO THIS CAR, # 9637 IS THE FOURTH LAST CAR
BUILT. IT WAS BUILT FOR DE TOMASO IN 1993 AND WAS ON DISPLAY SIDE BY
SIDE WITH THE FIRST MADE GUARA BARCHETTA, PAINTED IN THE SAME COLOUR
ON SEVERAL EUROPEAN CAR SHOWS LIKE PARIS, BRUXELES, FRANKFURT AND
GENEVE. THIS CAR WAS SOLD BY THE FACTORY IN NOVEMBER 1994 TO A
SPORTSCAR DEALER IN STUTTGART - GERMANY. IT WAS THEIR DEMONSTRATOR CAR
TILL 1997. IT WAS FIRST REGISTRATED IN JULY 1997, DEREGISTERED ONE DAY
LATER AND PART OF A PRIVATE CAR MUSEUM IN BAVARIA FOR THE LAST SIX
YEARS. SO WE COULD GET A NEARLY NEW CAR WITH ONLY A LITTLE BIT MORE
THAN 1000 km ON THE CLOCK.
IT IS ONE OF ONLY 4 CARS OF THIS TYPE WITH TARGA ROOF AND ONE OF ONLY
2 CARS WITH 6-SPEED GEARBOX.
IT IS EQUIPPED WITH THE WELL KNOWN FORD 302 (5.0 LITER) V8 WITH FUEL
INJECTION AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, GETRAG 6-SPEED GEARBOX, 4 PISTON
BREMBO BRAKES AND 17" WHEELS.
MY RED PANTERA SI, 9613 IS SOLD TO A GOOD NEW HOME, SO I THINK I HAVE
GOT MY ULTIMATE GARAGE NOW WITH THIS PANTERA AND MY DARK BLUE GUARA,
CHASSIS NUMBER 0007.
