[DeTomaso] Single versus two-pod dashes...

[Pantdino]

My 5137 has a two-pod dash and I prefer it just because it is "less ordinary" than the single pod
I don't recall if the car is a 3/73 or 5/73 build date .

 that was the cause, thus why a late model 72 ended up with a 2 pod dash,
 maybe they were out of the new
 
 ones and used what they had on hand ( left overs) until more arrived.
 
The two-pod dash was used on the first 800-or-so L-models, from 
ugust-December '72; those cars also had rocker switches for the wipers instead 
f the 
arlier-style rotary switch.   The single-pod dash first appeared in Jan 
73.   However, in April '73 about 20-30 Panteras were built using leftover 
nterior components including two-pod dashboards.   The front and center 
onsoles, and the heater boxes were different between the two dash styles as 
ell.
This doesn't consider the Euro GTS which used a fiberglass dashboard that 
ad the same shape as the US single-pod dash, but was constructed very 
ifferently.   That dash used the early-style front and center console; I don't 
now what kind of heater box they used however.
