Most Panteras built 1971-'73-1/2 were sold thru Ford in the U.S and true, 
DeTomaso doesn't have those records. But DeTomaso always had the rights to sell 
to the rest of the world during the Ford era and he repurchased the factory in 
late '74. So he has Euro records for the entire run, and records for all the 
post-Ford era cars including all GT5 and GT5-S cars. He also retained all or 
most records from the Vallelunga, Mangusta, Longchamp and Deauville build 
cycles. FWIW- J DeRyke
