Links to pages on sales web sites don't last forever, so for posterity I am including this picture.
Beverly Hills Car Club claims the VIN number is 8635 .... if so I assume they are referring to chassis number 8635. A chassis number in the 8000 range means it is without question a renumbered Pantera. Therefore we may never know what the cars original VIN number was.
However, from the pictures it appears to have originally been a Pre-L Pantera. It has Pre-L front bumpers mounted, it has holes drilled in the rear valence for Pre-L chrome bumpers, and it has cut-outs for US side marker lights. The doors have rectangular cut-outs for the door lever mechanism, so I would assume the original chassis number of this Pantera fell between 1383 and 4268.
