It's not true that all 2 pod dashes had 3 vents. I have a 72L model with 2 pod dash that only has 2 vents.

   ALL 2-pod-dash Panteras had three 'vents' in the dash. Most have a
   triangular upholstered bulge with a gauge light & the seatbelt warning
   light covering the unused center outlet, but that light-mount is only
   bolted on and can be easily removed so the vent hole underneath becomes
   functional. You're right- the car is not stock but is slightly
   customized inside & out: the hibachi-vents on the hood show that.  And
   the Ferrari-copy 'boxer' spoiler on the deck isn't even painted- I
   suspect it's a recent addition. Attractive car nonetheless- J Deryke
