According to our moderator George Pence who keeps track of such things, only one (1.0) other Pantera is known to carry an 8000-series number: THPNRT08471- a 1979 Euro GTS. So who knows if 8735 was faked; maybe Santiago DeTomaso in Modena, but it will cost you to have him look it up in the factory records.
