This car has been a champ for a long time. Also, in other news, it costs more than twice as much as V12 Jaguar XJS....

De Tomaso still exists, but it does not have many things in common with the old De Tomaso. :(

Interesting car. An excellent competitor to the Benz S-Class Coupe from Italy. Curiously, the car looks very German, I would never suppose it's Italian actually. Nevertheless, this is a Masterpiece, just like any De Tomaso. Rims fit the muscular design. And Ford's brutal engine make it a pony-car. And the performance is very impressive for a 1972 GT coupe. I love this car!
It is so sad De Tomaso does not exist anymore...
