Back in 1980, I did a small survey and found that 50% of Panteras were some 
shade of red, 20% were some shade of black, 15% were yellow, and the 
remainder were maybe 20 other colors including stock shades. The least popular was 
the still seldom-seen 'Seafoam Green'. I'd wondered if DeTomaso/Vignale 
batch-painted the cars (makes cleaning the paint guns less frequent), but even 
finding a few sister-cars with consecutive serial numbers, the original 
colors varied. So I never found the answer to that li'l question. 
Today, I wonder if the color preferences have shifted to something else? 
Mad Dawg Antenucci's Pantera is one of the first I know of to use a "wrap".
