<div>></div><div>> The curious part of that difference ... </div><div>> chassis 2292 which was the last 1971 </div><div>> Pantera, probably didn't hit a Lincoln </div><div>> showroom until February or March of </div>
<div>> 1972. </div><div>> Ford had been selling 1972 models </div><div>> since September 1971.</div><div>></div><div>> The DeTomaso model year was aligned </div><div>> with Ford's model year in 1973 ... the</div>
<div>> DeTomaso 1973 model year was cut short, </div><div>> it was only 6 months long. DeTomaso began </div><div>> manufacturing 1974 models in July of 1973, </div><div>> just like Ford. </div><div>></div>
