Re batch-painting: when we first bought Judy's car in the early '80s, I began
logging serial numbers of the cars we'd seen, partly to see if DeTomaso did
batch-paint the cars, and partly to try to keep track of badly wrecked cars
(deleting scrap tags on titles was a going business in a few states back then).
I didn't have much success: no one at that time was interested in serial
numbers, including POCA, so finding consecutive serials was difficult. In my small
group of about 50 cars, I only found two sets of consecutive numbers, and
only one pair were painted the same color. Just because it seems like a good idea
to paint cars in bunches and thus save on spray-gun & booth clean-up, this IS
the wonderful world of the limited-production Italian-made car.... FWIW- J
