[DeTomaso] #4847 Number of 'P' cars built in 1972

[Tom Baranek]

I just happen to own THPNMSO4847 (see reference below).
It is titled as a 1973 (with big bumpers) but it has the early dash and (I understand) the 1972 spec 351C.

Just doing some math (ignoring what various "reports" may indicate)...

Marti Reports may have another number, as they count differently, 
having a different definition of "Model Year".


2293 is the first "M" code (Jan 1972) car, while 5101 (0r 5100) is the last "M" code car.
But there are a LOT of "M" cars started in December 1972 (or earlier) that were not "finished" 
until 3/73 or later.  
(4847 is listed as a 1/73 date, but 4908 is listed as an 11/72 - Go figure!)

5100 - 2293 = 2807.
