Vehicle Info:
This vehicle is an Auto Sound Competition Show Car and has competed
in many past national events. While it looks fast, it has never been
designed to be a “street racer”. My philosophy has always been to drive
slowly and allow admiration.
This custom sport coupe has a Stock 2.0 Liter, 4-Cyl, 16V DOHC with the only
engine modifications being an Aluminum Weapon-R Cold Air “Hyper” Intake and
Stainless Steel Hose Wraps with Red Aluminum Fittings. All wires are
covered in Yellow Loom. Underside of hood has been painted Red to match
outer body and has decals of Auto Sound Component Manufacturers for hood-up
display purposes at Sound Competitions. Very tastefully done.
The entire vehicle (roof, doors, floorboard, trunk) has been Sound
Dampened/Deadened throughout with B-Quiet Extreme. Interior has Customized
Two-Tone Gray Leather Seats with Dodge Ram Logo (Ram Head) embroidered into
each headrest. Wood Grain Package for Console and Dash, and extra-padded
carpeting with custom Ram Head Logo floor mats.
The Audio System is currently undergoing a complete update. Equipment just
removed includes a Kenwood KRC-900 Head Unit (AM/FM/CD Flip-Down), KRC-
In-Dash Equalizer, MB Quart Speakers front & rear, Dual 15” Kicker Subs in
Custom Trunk Enclosure, Dual AudioBahn Chrome Amplifiers, a Jensen 4.5”
Overhead Flipdown Video Screen with Jensen VCR mounted in Trunk, and a Sony
Playstation 2 with Dual Remotes under Front Seat which had been used for DVD
viewing and gaming.
The “New” System will be a complete Multimedia Entertainment System
comprising of an Eclipse DVD Head Unit, an Eclipse In-Dash CD Changer, an
Audiovox 6.4” Overhead Flipdown Video Screen with Dome Lighting, Canton
Audiophile Speakers, Custom Dash-Mount Center Channel Speaker, JL Audio 10”
Subs (3) in Custom Fiberglass Tri-Plate Trunk Enclosure, all powered by
Zapco Competition Amplifiers. Headrest and Trunk-lid mounted Video Screens
are also under consideration.
The exterior features a Custom “Racing Flag” Decal, Name Logo Decals along
Front Wheel-well, Yellow Momo Windshield Decal, Eaglite Xenon Hyper-White
Headlight Bulbs, Titanium Window Tint, “Cobra” Rear Spoiler with LED, Carbon
Fiber Mirrors, Eibach Pro-Kit 1.8” Lowering Springs, Eibach Alignment Kit,
Magnaflow “Mirror Finish” Stainless Steel Street Series Performance Muffler
with Dual Oval Angled Tips, Magnaflow Exhaust Silencer, and last but
certainly not least, Fulda Carat Extremo 235/40ZR18 Tires wrapped around
Momo Chrome 18” M1 Wheels that make this vehicle what it is!
All of the above is protected via a Viper Alarm with Remote Start, Red LED
Door Scanners, High Output Siren, Soft Chirp Warning, and Remote Paging
Notification.
But those wheels…what can I say? They get complimented daily and truly make
the car. Thank you WheelWax for making these babies G-L-E-A-M!

Vehicle :Original DeTomaso Pantera GT5S
Owner: Marino Perna
Location:Largo, FL
Vehicle Info:
One of only 26 imported into the USA from Italy by Amerisport. Power comes from a 351C which unfortunately required
emission certification so 4 catalitic converters were fitted which then couples to a ZF 5-spd transaxle.
Originally came with magnesium 15" wheels (15 x 10" fronts & 15 x 13" rears but were change out by custom "look-a-like"
wheels exclusively made for Pantera East by Boyd Coddington Wheels of California to closely resemble the stock wheel for
which finding suitable tires is almost impossible with the great looking wheels as seen in the photos shod with 275/35-17
front and 335/35-17 Yokahoma rears. What a ride!!
