This DeTomaso Guarà is one of approximately 50 examples built from 1994 to 2004 and is the fifth of approximately 10 open-top Barchetta variants produced. It was purchased new without an engine by Steve Wilkinson, the owner of Pantera Parts USA, and was subsequently fitted with a 4.6-liter Ford V8. The composite bodywork is finished in red over matching leather upholstery, and other features include a six-speed manual transaxle, a limited-slip differential, an aluminum backbone chassis, double-wishbone suspension, Brembo disc brakes, 18″ Marchesini wheels, a roll bar, a Targa Florio-style rear-view mirror, a MoTeC data-logger, and a MOMO Prototipo steering wheel. Service performed in preparation for the sale included the installation of a custom plexiglass windscreen and replacement tires. This Guarà Barchetta is now offered in Bedford Hills, New York, with factory books, factory documentation and build records, a clean Carfax report, and New Hampshire registration.

The Guarà was the final car DeTomaso released with input from company founder Alejandro de Tomaso. The design was based on the 1991 Maserati Barchetta Stradale prototype, which was designed by Carlo Gaino at Synthesis Design. The Guarà was introduced at the 1993 Geneva Motor Show and was offered in coupe, spyder, and barchetta variants, all featuring composite bodywork over an aluminum honeycomb backbone chassis. The model remained in production until 2004 when DeTomaso went into liquidation.

The 18″ Marchesini wheels wear DeTomaso center caps and are mounted with 245/40 front and 275/40 rear Pirelli Cintruato P7 tires that were installed in June 2023.
