[DeTomaso] 2 Pod dashes of March, after L dash was started...

[The DeTomaso Registry Guy]

I can add that in the spring of 1973 DeTomaso installed some old dash inventory.  
Initially I counted 5 cars so equipped, but it is way more than
that now.  Most of the March '73 cars have the early (2-pod) dash.

As for the dash, Ford parts book imples 5284 was the last 2 pod with a
couple groups of exceptions

My 5177 is 2 pod

Interesting car - looks nice overall.

 

These are just observations, not knocks against the car.

 

Interesting that it has a Dual-Pod Dash, my car #5357, build date 4/73 has a
single pod.  4280 (one of the earliest Ls) had the dual-pod.  Anyone know
when they cut in the single pod?

 

The car sits funny (way up).  I assume that's because it still has the
spacers in the shocks.
