[DeTomaso] ProvaMo Registry Error Notice...

[ProvaMo.com]

David,

 

Thanks for the tip-off.  This is something the DeTomaso Forum might
appreciate.

 

David found the ebay listing… Note the over-stamping on the VIN…. Hmmm.

 

THPN is common to all the Panteras (except the 150 USA GTS cars that have
THGT)

 

The next character is “L” (which is only valid for 1971 model cars.)

 

(LC LK LD LE LL LY LS LT LJ LU LM LP)

 

It would appear that one character is missing.

 

Next typically would be the 0 (zero) followed by the last 4 digits…

 

This is truly ODD.

 

As you say it has squared-off inner fenders, Later side mount ZF brackets
(1971’s did not have this).

L bumpers, and Euro-L dash (and euro speedo – 300Kmh)…Italian gauges…

 

And a number of other odd or mix-and-match features (exhaust tips and L
bumper)

And yes the “real” 5405 is already in the Registry.

 

Chuck

 

Here is a eBay auction:

Thanks Chuck.  I wanted to see what info there was on 5405 that's currently
on eBay.  Very strange car that is a combination of newer GTS, but with a 73
build date.  Must have been brought over from Europe at some point.  What's
strange though is the shart angles in the engine bay, and a few other
things.  Your VIN in the registry is THPNNM05405.  The eBay listing says
THPNL05405.  What's that all about?
