[DeTomaso] Trivia question: Factory colors and years of production

[Mirril McMullen]

For the record......

There is no paint identifier on the VIN plate or that can be decoded from
the VIN.

My 74 was originally silver.

I sent for the Marti report and they told me my car was originally red.

I then sent them proof that my car was Silver not Red originally (long story
on how I proved it).

Marti turned around and promptly sent me a corrected Marti report.

Who was collecting these?

Chuck,

I thought Marti Reports have the "yours is one of XX silver Panteras
produced in 19XX" statement. Wasn't Michael Shortt working on collecting all
the available Marti Report data into a database at one point, was that under
his tenure with POCA and shared or an individual effort?

Dear Forum,



            A Pantera friend is interested in learning how many silver
Panteras were made in '73 and '74.   I've checked my books and google
without success.



           I *think* that info Is out there.  Would anyone know the answer
about the silver Pantera production numbers or where to ferret it out?





                               Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
