This Panoz GTS was purchased by the seller in 2016, reportedly from its second owner, and it is powered by a 351-based 427ci V8 paired with a TKX five-speed manual transmission that was installed in September 2024. The engine features a SCAT crankshaft, Eagle H-beam connecting rods, Mahle forged pistons, 220cc AFR CNC’d heads, a COMP Cams roller camshaft, and Jesel 1.7:1 rocker arms. A rebuild in 2025 involved replacing the piston rings, bearings, lifters, gaskets, seals, valve springs, oil pump, and timing chain. The yellow and black-finished bodywork is mounted over a DOM tube chassis that was lightened, reinforced, and refinished in gray in 2025. The car rides on 18″ BBS and CCW wheels, and further equipment includes Penske coilovers, an AGR steering rack, Brembo disc brakes with stainless-steel lines, and an aluminum ATL fuel cell. The cockpit is fitted with a Kirkey racing seat, a Simpson harness, and a G-Force window net. Dubbed Mala Noche, this Panoz GTS is now offered in Ontario, Canada with logbooks, spare parts, and a Certificate of Origin.

Bodywork finished in yellow with a black center stripe and racing livery is mounted over a DOM tube chassis that has been lightened and strengthened, resulting in a reported wet weight of 2,490 lbs dry.

Exterior features include an aluminum front splitter, a hood pinned at four rear points with Dzus fasteners along the leading edge, carbon-fiber hood vents, side vents with stainless-steel wire mesh, an Optic Armor Lexan windshield that was installed in 2024, carbon-fiber side mirrors, a 3mm Lexan rear window, and quarter-turn Dzus trunk mounts.

LED brake and rain lights are fitted at the rear along with a rear wing with carbon-fiber end plates and a 0.210″ Gurney flap. The vehicle was rewired in 2017 with load-sized wiring, weatherproof connectors, shrink-wrapped terminations, and flameproof sleeving in high-heat areas, routed through a 10-circuit blade fuse box with LED fault indication and an exterior cutoff switch.

A thirteen-page write-up provided by the seller detailing the car’s modifications and service history can be viewed in the gallery below.

Suspension consists of Penske single-adjustable shocks dyno-matched to spring rates front and rear, chromoly control arms and rod ends throughout, and adjustable sway bar links. Steering is handled by an AGR racing rack with Cobra R valving and Moog tie rods, paired with double-shear adjustable steering arms and a KRC power steering pump.

Black powder-coated 18″ BBS wheels up front and CCW wheels at the rear are mounted with Hoosier tires. Brembo calipers and discs are matched with stainless-steel lines at all four corners, and the master cylinders were rebuilt and the brake pads were replaced in 2025.

The cabin houses a Kirkey aluminum bucket seat with black upholstery and a Simpson racing harness. A G-Force window net and a panel with brake pressure gauges were installed in 2025, and additional interior equipment includes a five-plane rearview mirror, a modified accelerator pedal with a lift hook and a removable aluminum pedal face, a windshield defogger with a marine bilge blower, and a fire bottle mounted on the passenger side.

The aluminum clamshell transmission cover has a Dzus-fastened shifter boot, and auminum body panels and a removable aluminum floor panel behind the driver seat are fitted over Thermo-Tec heat shielding.

The leather-wrapped Fittipaldi steering wheel is mounted to a quick-release hub, and AutoMeter instrumentation consists of a 10k-rpm tachometer and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, and coolant temperature. A brake-bias knob is also present along with a low oil-pressure warning light and switchgear for various functions. The car is not equipped with an odometer, and total chassis mileage is unknown.

The 427ci V8 was built and installed in 2022 using a Ford Racing aluminum 351W block, a SCAT steel crankshaft, Eagle H-beam connecting rods, Mahle forged pistons, 220cc AFR CNC’d cylinder heads, a COMP Cams roller camshaft, Jesel 1.7:1 rocker arms, an Edelbrock Super Victor intake manifold, and a Quick Fuel 750cfm carburetor. The piston rings, bearings, lifters, gaskets, seals, valve springs, oil pump, and timing chain were replaced over the 2025–2026 off-season.

Exhaust routes through long-tube headers with Coleman merge collectors into a 3.5″ stainless-steel system with removable Schoenfeld mufflers.

Cooling is handled by a Griffin aluminum radiator with two electric fans, and lubrication relies on a three-quart Canton Racing Accusump oil accumulator and a NASCAR-spec oil filter.

A May 2026 chassis dynamometer report viewable in the gallery indicates a peak output of 524 horsepower and 477.7 lb-ft of torque.

The car is equipped with a TKX five-speed manual transmission that was installed in September 2024, mated to a two-disc Quarter Master racing clutch and aluminum flywheel fitted the year prior. A steel Quarter Master bell housing replaces the factory aluminum piece, and clutch actuation runs through a rebuilt Tilton master cylinder along with a Tilton hydraulic delay valve.

Shifting is handled by a Hanlon TKX short-throw shifter with adjustable stops, a Tremec shift knob, and a hollow chromoly shift rod, with the linkage sleeved to minimize play per the seller. A Coleman aluminum driveshaft and U-joints route power to the rear end, and the transmission is equipped with an aluminum vent tank with an integrated filter.

Notable spare parts include the following:

• Front clip w/brake ducts, tow hook, splitter, & radiator
• Three sets of BBS and CCW wheels
• Two sets of Hoosier tires
