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

[Brent Stewart]

I have a weird one - 4328 is technically registered as a 73. Has a two pod dash but is an "L". I think this may be the mysterious 72 1/2 model.  Originally came with full front bumper, but was changed to chrome bumperettes.

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 under
stand) 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.
