[DeTomaso] Earliest known Pantera

[Michael Shortt]

Thanks,

I called Wilkinson, they know of 1001, but do not have it.
He also said the crashed cars never had serial numbers, good to know.
So theoretically,  if you have #1500, it is the 500th Pantera.
So mine #1660 is the 660th car built ( June 71 ).
He also confirmed that the first rectangular door handle was #1286, thus
1001 thru #1285 were pushbuttons ( subject to Italian build order as we all
know ).

More info for the list.
