Reply to "Manufacture Dates for Panteras"

I can fill in some information based on either what I've read, or what I consider to be common knowledge...

Ending date of Standard Panteras prior to GT5? At least 1989, which is well after the GT5 and GT5-S were into production. DeTomaso called all their Euro-Panteras GTS by the post-Ford era, and you could order any flavor of Pantera you wanted, assuming you had the $$. They continued to manufacture GTS, GT5, and GT5-S all simultaneously. The latest GTS I've personally seen was a 1989 model.

GT5 was produced from 1983 on, with #9250 being the first factory produced model. Earlier cars were retrofitted by the factory as well. They were produced until the end (1989 or 1990)

GT5-S was produced from 1985 on. First one built was #9375, actually built in 1984 but sold as a 1985 model. They were also produced until the end (1990)

In 1990, the last "classic style" Pantera, #9562, was built. During the late 80's, a mix of GTS, GT5, and GT5-S were built. Claudia Lodi told me that they produced 39 GT5-S cars in total, discounting the Kirk Evans Amerisport cars. Personally, this number sounds very low to me. I don't think anyone knows the exact mix of cars produced during this era - if the factory doesn't know, then I don't know who would.

The first Si was also built in 1990. A total of 41 were built, 2 were crash tested (although Roland Jaeckel thinks only one was crash tested?) and one was kept by the factory, making 38 sold.
