I have owned a 1972 Pantera since 2015 and am trying to find information on its history. VIN is THPNMR02778, so I know it was produced in February of 1972. I tried obtaining a deluxe Marti Report on it; however, the good folks over there told me my car was initially sold to the overseas market and later imported to the US by an owner. That is as much as they could tell me, as they apparently can provide information only on Pantera cars that were imported and sold here by Ford through the Ford dealerships. Thus far I have been able to find out that Alejandro DeTomaso, not so happy right off the start with the Ford US imported cars, started building several GTS models in February 1972. The earliest title I have found on my car is from the state of Vermont, and that lists it as a GTS "sub-model." That is all the information Vermont DMV could provide me. I am trying to find out if this is one of the original GTS models built by Alejandro back in February 1972. Also, I am trying to track down any previous owners to this car so I could put together an ownership history on the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
