[DeTomaso] MANGUSTA INFORMATION, NEEDS, NEWS, ETC./Dick Ruzzin

[Patrick Hals]

It seems that ALL records are there in Italy... ALL  chassis numbers... but obviously, may be not the first US owner data. Claude Dubois ( from Belgium ) also sold lots of new cars to the USA after the Ford agreement collapsed.

  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
