Reply to "BUYER BEWARE! SOMEBODY CUT THE VINS' OFF THE CAR! Huh???"

The VIN for my white push button Pantera was stamped in many places on the car.  These stampings were in addition to the primary stamping on the pedal box.  I could see the extra stampings because the car was disassembled.  The car was #1313 and the numbers 313 were stamped in the center of themetal that supports the dash.  They were also stamped in the doors and the headlight buckets, and perhaps other places.  I think DeTomaso slowed down on the amount of stampings on the later cars.  With disassembly, the actual VIN for the car might be found.  The workers doing the stamping were economical and only stamped 313 instead of 1313.
