A large quantity of the seats you refer to had been manufactured as DeTomaso had planned on installing them in the Pantera. They were later employed as the shells for the racing seats installed in the group 3 and group 4 race cars, minus the foam blocks of course.
The remainder of those unused seat frames sat in a stack at the factory for years collecting dust. I have no idea what has become of them. If you were interested in acquiring the real thing rather than a reproduction, a phone call to Steve Wilkinson may be worth your while.
