Garth says this list is a little quiet...

As you all probably know the Pantera was created (in two stages) at two different assembly
plants.

At Vignale (Turin) large presses made the body panels and then these sections
were placed into jigs and welded together to form the Pantera body.  While still at
Vignale, the cars were painted, and the interior was installed.  The cars, riding on
little trollies, were then loaded on to transport trucks for the trip to the final
assembly plant in Modena.
