Confirmed? Of the 7000+ Panteras the factory and others built, we never 
actually got more than about 15% into a registry. Too many people hide them & 
never join our support group for various reasons, then can't understand why 
no one will recommend their car when they finally try to sell. There are 
estimates by various people that have a better grasp than most on how many are 
still around- Steve Wilkinson is one. Call him, or ask him at the Reno Fun 
Rally in a month. Cheers-J DeRyke
