Dunno why, but that car is appealing to me.

Might have been as it had 8 individual velocity stacks, or it might have been FI as I recall 8 individual lines on the intake. I can't remember anymore that that really...the suspension was all billet DeTomaso engraved...we are talking nearly 30 years ago...I can't recall much more.

Is this the car?
if it is
it is a very well known car in the De Tomaso community
and has been around a Loooong time.
the car was originally owned by George Peloquin
the car was known as Pure Gold
George is dead now
but the car lives on. (new owner)
this is really a Display car Not
a Daily Driver but fun to see.

Really tough to say, I don't remember it having that much gold, but more could have been added. This was also up in Calgary, Canada...the billet stuff looks somewhat the same as do those nice fat boots....really do wish I could remember. I will check with a friend who worked at that body shop, which was a concours type place (and still is).
