[DeTomaso] Pantera on Speed Channel

Can you imagine how super cool it would have been to be tooling around in a Pantera in 1971.  Hippie chicks and a Pantera.   OMG.  I was born too late.   Michael in Savannah

So subtracting the 3 crash cars. That equals 1330 71 Panteras.  If 657 was built in June it is reasonable to think it took 2-3 months to get state side and sold.  I guess that 700 seems reasonable to have actually been delivered to owners.  Also I think they close the plants over there in Aug for vacations back then so add another month.  Michael in Savannah

 I know the serial numbers were released out of order sometimes. But what is the highest one listed as a 71? I have #1660....
 
 I don't normally get into the chaos that was DeTomaso's Italian car production, but I know engine builder Dick Drenske owns (or did own) s/n #2332, said to have a '71 build date and the last car mentioned in the original Registry as a '71. Pantera s/n #2334 is listed as a '72; neither has the month-code listed to back the dates up. 
 Interestingly, a sister-car to yours- s/n #1661- is (or was) owned by Kirby Schrader in TX. FWIW- J Deryke
