Almost, but not quite.

For example, the three-seater Pantera, powered by a Maserati Merak drivetrain 
and (I believe) built on a Merak chassis/suspension, has no serial number.

And the Sala/Marvetti Gr5 race Pantera was built on a chassis that De Tomaso 
gave to Sala/Marvetti, which had no serial number.

Other than that, I can't think of any other De Tomaso cars (including the 
race cars) that went without a VIN, although I wouldn't be surprised if there 
were a handful of others.
