Original engine and ZF TRANSMISSION. era number 1, 2 and 3 were built as prototype body’s only with no engine for show use only and are believed to be non existent ~destroyed.

I am the owner of this vehicle since 1990 over 32 years. The last time this vehicle was driven was 1996. After that the car was sent in to have the Motor professionally “ Pickled” and delivered to my garage where it has been parked. I have all the documentation since delivery date back in to date, every owner. I have the original delivery book – registration in Italian hand filled out to the first owner… It has never been shown or advertised. Very few people even know of it’s existence.This is the first time it is ever been offered for sale by me. This vehicle is a piece of history in many facets. automobile history, Italian cars, Detomaso, era history. This car belongs in a museum or someone who wants it for their collection. This car also has a very interesting original owner history which I can discuss with potential serious buyers. Please No trades or time wasters this is a very rare once in a lifetime offering.
