On eBay? Shouldn't this be at B-J or Mecum auctions.

It isn't the only one. Shelby imported several when he was associated with Chrysler. Iocca was considering buying Detomaso and they were needed for evaluation.

At least one had a small block Mopar installed in it in place of the 351c.

Later they bought Lamborghini instead. I believe it is the Diablo that has a Chrysler vin tag on it?

I would love to see the paperwork that proves De Tomasso "gifted"the car to Shelby...

[BGlover67]

Wait, he didn't sign his own dashboard?

I believe he traded in 9 1966 Thunderbirds he had leftover from a failed promotion.

Smoking Crack at that Price..

.   Well it would certainly provide funds for an "extended rock cocaine sojourn "....

Those inner door panels look hideous

 Probably has a "leftover" Boss 351 in it. ( like that could happen) CS had a "similar" (if not this car) '83 with a turbo'd small block Chrysler done by the late Art Chrisman (rip) . It was NOT CA smog legal when it was offered for sale 20+ years ago at one of CS's  "opportunity sales" and didn't sell IIRC because of that.

Series 1 also not smog legal. About the only car CS had left from his Ford days was the last Continental convertible they gave him. You probably remember the big pile of warranty Pantera transaxles in Stroppe's back room on Signal Hill.

Here's a pix I shot at the Bonhams pre-auction viewing at Shelby Gardena on May 5, 2018.

Maybe he opened the trunk and found something in it

Yep, sold at the Bonhams sale. Good luck trying to get it through smog if you need to! Aye. But at that price, most likely not changing hands anytime soon

[Harris Speedster]

Kind of confused here.
George Stauffer imported the 80's Pantera's, to my best knowledge.
He also had a black Pantera GTS factory race car.

I must be wrong though?
