[DeTomaso] ebay car in Canada

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

There's also no sign of the internal gas filler that I'd expect to see on a sub #2000 car (I own THPNLS02004 and mine has it). The lid looks flat to me, I thin kthe line is a reflection. Where you see the inside of the trunk the front part of the lid skin appears flat.

>>>No, it wouldn't.   That is a completely bogus VIN.   The VIN for a 1971 
car would be:

TH:   De Tomaso Modena
PN:   Pantera
L:   1971

(X) character for the month

(0XXXX) five-digit serial number.

>>>There are a LOT of stories behind the car, obviously.   It does have a 
1971 interior (complete with the Stroppe-type modifications), but L-model bumpers 
and bodywork.   It appears to have a flat decklid, but perhaps not?   There 
is something visible that could be the raised rib in the center.

Much more information must be provided by the seller--with a decent VIN for 
starters!
