> > 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.

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.
