> The following information was

> who credits George Pence.
>
> The DeTomaso model year was in line with
> the calendar year I 1971. The last 1971 Pantera
> was #2292, built in December 1971.
>
> Whereas North American Ford had been
> building 1972 model Fords since July of 1971,
> because they manufactured automobiles
> based on the fiscal year.
>
> The curious part of that difference ...
> chassis 2292 which was the last 1971
> Pantera, probably didn't hit a Lincoln
> showroom until February or March of
> 1972.
> Ford had been selling 1972 models
> since September 1971.
>
> The DeTomaso model year was aligned
> with Ford's model year in 1973 ... the
> DeTomaso 1973 model year was cut short,
> it was only 6 months long. DeTomaso began
> manufacturing 1974 models in July of 1973,
> just like Ford.
