V dub ya suggested I introduce myself here.

I jumped in on a thread about the De Tomaso Longchamp:
deTomaso Longchamp GTS

which was never officially sold in the US. There are however a handful of cars that were imported privately.

My car is the quad headlight car further down the thread. Running the very same power plant as the Pantera sold through your local Mercury dealer

I have a back seat and a trunk, unlike the Panther.

Nearly completed a replacement 408 Cleveland stroker imported from Ad Performance in WA and some CHI 3V heads from Aus I should then be able to keep up with some of you guys

Bye

Welcome to the site

you got a neat car there

GTS · 26 Apr 2008, 03:00 am

Thanks guys.

Memphis,

That is a nice looking Sub in your gallery.

I imagine that's a current model?

What engine options are there in the current Sub's?

Welcome to Tremek.com

Nice ride you go there

Welcome ... very nice car mate!

GTS · 26 Apr 2008, 10:51 am

Thanks.

Out of a total production of around 400, there's probably around half left and maybe a handful on the road here in the UK.

I get stopped all the time, even by petrolheads who want to know what it is.

The old girl is different, but importantly makes the right noise.

Pieters,

I note you are from Belgium.

I found mt car in a small town south of Antwerp a few years ago and drove her back through Calais in France.

The guy still owns a Pantera, Lamboghini Jalpa, a TVR and I believe a Le Mans Jag XJS.

Hi,

Still, nice Scooby:-)

Oh, ok that make sense

Well the current suburbans have a 6.0l, a 5.3l, and a 4.6l (4.something atleast)
4x4 or rwd

Dad has a 5.3 tahoe and it kicks ass, so I bet the 6.0 is beastly
