[DeTomaso] Marti Report Compilation 11-14-13 @1 pm

Thu Nov 14 17:37:03 EST 2013

 The document for 5186 was a factory invoice which only shows the features and original color of my car when it was purchased in Europe.  Unlike a Marti report, it does not contain any information about the number of cars built for any particular month or year.

I called Marti Works and they said since my car was a Euro car, the VIN would not be in their database.

It was a document from RS Corse, contains the same info, but seems to cost 400% more.

Michael,

You mention one Euro car (5186) with your list of serial numbers of cars you’ve received Marti reports on. Is there an actual Marti report on this Euro car? If so how does it compare to the info on the US car reports?

The following information was 

shared with me by Scott Bell 

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. 

Push Buttons (hand built models, 

a few were actually built before 

January, in 1970)

Chassis 1001 - 1382

January 1971 - April 1971

 Pre-L 

(The beginning of the assembly 

line models)
Chassis 1383 - 2292

 April 1971 - December 1971

Total 1292 cars in 1971

 Pre-L
Chassis 2293 - 4268
January 1972 - August 1972

Pantera L

Officially called 1972-1/2 models
Chassis 4269 - 4839
August 1972 - December 1972

Total 2547 cars in 1972

Pantera L (this is the short 

6 month model year)
Chassis 4840 - 5899
January 1973 - June 1973

Total 1060 cars in 1973 (only 6 months)

Pantera L (aligned with Ford's 

production year, then extended. 

Should have ended June 1974)
Chassis 5900 - 7380
July 1973 - August 1974

Total 1481 cars in 1974 (14 months!)

The total number of Pantera’s based 

on the above data is 6380 from 71-74

5,244 US Models

1,136 Euro Models

6,380-5244 =1,136

Yearly totals = 1,334

not counting all of 73.

These totals do NOT AGREE.

More to come.
