Lee,
Your statement should be "as it left Ford"....as Bordinath modified a lot of the car using later model parts as needed! ....or perhaps parts that appeared on later Ford cars!!!
The collapsible spare tire is not a DeTomaso feature.... I think it also had a Ford air cleaner with a chrome lid, ala 351C cars...IIRC.
Cheers!
