Reply to "I got a question for the numbers buff."

Here's the numbers:

6117 to 6128 Panteras were manufactured during the Ford era.

US NHTSA records claim 5166 of those cars entered the US. This left 951 Panteras for Canada, Europe and the rest of the world, or about 15.5% of production.

GTS Panteras were introduced in the spring of 1972, the last quarter of the 1972 production year. 1976 Panteras were produced that year, dividing that number by four gives us a number of 494 Panteras produced during the last quarter.

Pantera production

last quarter 1972....494
1973..................1600
1974..................1631

grand total..........3725

15.5% of 3725 is 577.

During the time in which the GTS was produced by Ford, 577 Panteras were manufactured for Europe, Canada and the rest of the world. That is a very "ball park" number. So the remaining question DeTom is what percentage of those 577 cars were sold as L models, and what percentage were GTS models? If 25% were GTS, the figure would be 144. If 50% were GTS the figure would be 288.
