Did I read that article wrong .. it says that Ferrari objected to the use of Corvettes with Testarossa panels and donated to real Testarossas. Where did the Pantera connection come from?

Do you have a reference for that? The link above doesn't mention it. Just curious.

Actually, the article talks about the Daytona Spyder replica and that Ferrari North America was upset about all the attention the replica was getting, so the Daytona replica was destroyed in an episode and replaced with the then-new Testarossa.

And that's when a replica Testarossa was built on a Pantera to be the stunt double and stand in for the delicate Ferrari Testarossas for all the action scenes.
