The following information was shared with me by Scott Bell who credit
george Pence.
As soon as I can figure it out, we should be able to separate the US and
Euro cars
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. My Pantera
is one of them.
