[DeTomaso] The Fake Pantera Lives????

[Garth Rodericks]

<<< Pre-L Panteras did not have a "Body Service Number" on a plate in the enginebay or the metal tag that normally surrounds the VIN. I have been studying
photos of 71-72 pre-L cars for originality for 8 years and I have not seenone with the "Body Service Number" or the plate that surrounds the VIN onthe top of 
the footbox. >>>

FWIW, my 72 pre-L has the VIN surround plate on top of the footbox as well as the Body Service Number tag. Both original to the car too!  
My car was manufactured in July 1972.

Cheers!
