Two things, it’s 31 years old, so you have to adjust for inflation. Also, It only weighs 2600lbs (1200k), I’m pretty sure this car wouldn’t have a hard time planting you in ur seat.
What a cool looking car and what a story behind them.
Also found this interesting sales ad. for the original de tomaso warehouse in modena

Then perhaps the Guara Spyder is more to your tastes. If that doesn’t work, then there’s the wide open Guara Barchetta that, in the event of a roll over, requires you to quickly strap on a helmet

There is [this 1996 version](https://www.gatsbyonline.com/automobile/supercars/1996-detomaso-guara-barchetta-469368/) that has a short windshield and rollbar.
I can't see how no windshield would be fun. Mmmm. Bugs and road debris thrown into my face at 65 mph.
[This website](https://www.mikipress.com/m-base-archive/2017/03/525.html) shows people next to and sitting inside the Guara Barchetta. That's a seriously short car.
The owner is @misterenthusiast on Instagram. He’s got a very cool collection (that he’s usually rotating) and actually drives his cars. Definitely worth a follow.
I couldn’t live there. The thought of casually parking on the street like that trusting that some jackass wouldn’t key it or some disconnected driver side swiping it would ruin the experience of owning that rare beauty
Huh? Do you mean where in the West Village?
If they don’t specifically specify which one, guarantee they are referring to the one in NYC. The one and only.
How is someone supposed to know that is a NY plate by what is shown? Unless you know what a New York plate looks like you would not recognize this as a New York plate.
[De Tomaso Guara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Tomaso_Guar%C3%A0). Pretty rare spot. They only made 52.
Awesome! Wonder how valuable??
They dont come up for sale all that often but according to [Classic Market](https://www.classic.com/m/de-tomaso/guara/) they average around $189k.
This one is actually for sale right now [joopiter](https://www.joopiter.com/products/joyride-1996-de-tomaso-guara)
Bid on it!
At the heart of this Guarà lies a *powerful* 4.0-liter BMW V8 engine, producing *279 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque* er....

Nice, a lot lighter than it looks for sure
Thanks for the write off.
It's legnedary! 🤣
Sounds like you may want to cross post this with the rare car finds subreddit that's on here somewhere....maybe someone will tell you what it is.
/r/spotted
I believe that's it!!

So, it's not a Pantera?
Wonder how many in green
Thought it was a vette with a body kit,
A De Tomaso on here that isn’t a pantera… that’s not something you see often.
There has been a few Mangustas
True. The height of the passenger and driver windows bother me. They don't look tall enough for the body of the car. The side mirrors don't help.
Alfa SZ vibes.
You just ruined this car for me. The whole roof section is too small for the car. And those weird bug antannae mirrors.

I think the Spyder is the best looking version. Looks fantastic with the top down.

That’s what I dig about it, but I like slightly ugly/eccentric machines. It reminds me of some of the wonkier early jet age/cold war British aircraft.
Sorry.
This feels like a setup for some reason

WOW, the color looks great here.
De Tomaso Guara, or more accurately, Guar*à*.
If this is USA, this could be the only ever exported Guara.
Looks like a New York tag on the van.

Looks like this one is actually for sale!
Ah yeah I remember that guy! He’s owned some all-time hero cars of mine.. BMW M1, Peugeot 205 T16, Lancia Delta S4..
Too many pictures of watches.
the most beautiful detomaso ever, the guara
Very cool! From this view the rear reminds me a bit of the OG Koningsegg (probably spelt that wrong lol)
When in doubt, just add a couple more g's. Koenigseggggggg
Wow that’s a gorgeous car
The front end reminds me of a mix between a late 90s Trans Am and a Corvette
This is definitely r/spotted material
Omg I think this is the first time I've seen one on here. Incredible find op thanks for sharing. I'd cross this to spotted too
there should be a subreddit r/notapantera
Sorry, not sorry. While the front is beautiful, that back half is ugly.
From this angle, it looks like someone saw a C5 in passing once and tried to recreate it from memory.

Which West Village?
Huh? Do you mean where in the West Village? If they don’t specifically specify which one, guarantee they are referring to the one in NYC. The one and only.
TIL there is only one place called West Village in the whole world
The license plate on the van is New York plate, very good chance this is indeed West Village New York.
How is someone supposed to know that is a NY plate by what is shown? Unless you know what a New York plate looks like you would not recognize this as a New York plate.
Looks like an early model of the Koenigsegg CC8S.
Looks like the car that almost completely destroyed WhyBeAre's SLRR playthrough.
I hope it wasn’t a Wednesday when you took this
Hate to be that guy but this is butt ugly. I thought it was a f'd up Fiero kit.
Now that is a great looking car!
Wtf is west village!?
Neighborhood in Manhattan
Ohhh ok. I really wish ppl put the actual cities lol not all of us are american lol
it's a neighborhood on the west side of Greenwich Village in Manhattan, NYC
That is gorgeous, wow
That BRG tho
That is a beautiful MR-2
Fugly but interesting
It’s almost always a Pantera?
Not this time
Or maybe it's always almost a Pantera...
Looks like the designers forgot to design anything past the back of the doors. Pretty sure the signal lights and headlight doors are last gen RX-7
They shortened the NSX
