I decided to watch the episode again and they quote 71 sales as 791 units
and 72 sales at 2,061.  Lord only knows where these numbers came from.
Interesting though.

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.

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
