>>>Panteras were indeed built well into the 1974 calendar year. Some
California-market GTS Panteras were actually 1973 models, sold new in 1974, whereas
the other 49 states got 1974 model year GTS Panteras.
What's odd is that 1974 L-models were able to be sold in California; Barry
Appelbaum in San Diego is the original owner of his '74L and he got it rather
late in the year; he had to wait quite awhile for delivery to his dealer.
