A A A No, all Panteras were NOT made in the same place.A The

A A A Panteras were made at Ghia, by then owned by De Tomaso too.
A A A Ford got (more) involved, De Tomaso bought Vignale, and they
set up
A A A production of the bodies at Vignale
A A A (which is about 300 Km from the DeTomaso plant in the former

A A A Then they were trucked (on dollies) to De Tomaso, where they

A A A Bodies starting around 9000 were then made by another

A A A until around 9100 or 9200, where it moved to
