Finished in Yellow with black vinyl interior, this De Tomaso comes from the seller with Marti Report documentation, Ford Racing engine build documents and a clear title.

The exterior is finished in Yellow. Features include black U.S.-spec bumperettes, Xenon headlight conversion, Vitaloni rear-view mirrors and black rocker trim.

A set of 17-inch 10-spoke aluminum Pantera wheels is wrapped in Dunlop 235/40/R17 (front) and Sumitomo 315/35/ZR17 (rear) radials.

The racing bucket seats are upholstered in black vinyl. Features include Simpson harnesses, manual steering and brakes, upgraded Sony AM/FM/CD stereo and four-spoke steering wheel.  

The instrument panel consists of aftermarket gauges including a 160-mph speedometer, 10,000-rpm tachometer and gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, voltage and oil pressure. The odometer reads 49,480 miles but the true mileage is unknown.

Lead Writer Diego Rosenberg is a native of Wilmington, Delaware and Princeton, New Jersey, giving him plenty of exposure to the charms of Carlisle and Englishtown. Though his first love is Citroen, he fell for muscle cars after being seduced by 1950s finned flyers—in fact, he’s written two books on American muscle. But please don’t think there is a strong American bias because foreign weirdness is never far from his heart. With a penchant for underground music from the 1960-70s, Diego and his family reside in the Southwest.
