My research indicates the following:
874 * is De Tomaso’s code for the Pantera. The Deauville is an 892 and the Vallelunga is an 807
The 72 Panteras from serial 4269 had the warranty "plate" attached to the foot well box as shown in Michael's (Cyboman) pic above.
The 71/72 Panteras before serial 4269 had the warranty "plate" attached to the front door "B" pillar.
My 71 Pantera has the last three numbers of its' serial number stamped on the headlight buckets and the car doors. There may be other places (that I haven't gotten to yet) that this number is stamped. Many other parts had the last four numbers of the serial number hand written in white "crayon".
Husker, what year is your car?
