Reply to "#6462 - 1973 Pantera"

You can see from the enlarged section of the photo that the top of the pedal box was cut out. You can see the edge of the sheet metal in the blue box and part of the brake pedal stop bracket in red. This car is a late 72 or early 73 with dual pod dash, pre-L center console, L model bumpers, and wipers that park on the left side. #6512, 50 cars newer than this cars is claimed to be, is an early 74 that has the single pod dash, L model console, and wipers that park on the right side.

Pantera 6462 Vin Plate 1

I've been unsuccessful in getting access to the registry. But if these photos come from the registry and the registry comes from owners submitting photos, why would anyone post a photo showing what appears to be Vin swapping.  Especially in 2021 when the current owner claims he has owned it the last 18 years? The early interior on a later model. Maybe a Frankenstein car created from 2 wrecks.

Anyone from DFW that knows anything please message me if you don't want to say anything publicly.

Update: I did find a site that checks VINS for stolen or salvage - https://www.nicb.org/vincheck

Both the VIN on the vehicle and the VIN from the Marti Report/Headlight buckets show clean.
