Reply to "Pantera #3770 - Wierd Ad on eBay"

Yes you will know if it is a US Pantera and you will get the dealership that it was "sold from," however just as with Shelby's (or lots of other cars) it doesn't mean that it was actually sold from that dealership to a customer. I could be wrong but I believe that these numbers do not take into account of dealer transfers. Were Pantera's only ordered from or sold at certain authorized dealers? I have been told that you will not find a Ford era Pantera with Canada on the Marti report even though you could buy one brand new in Canada. Can anyone confirm this? I know for sure that one Calgary Ford Dealership that was not Metro Ford the authorized Shelby dealer, often picked up performance cars brand new through Great Falls Montana. From looking at some of the Marti reports Great Falls moved quite a few Pantera's I would say more than what was likely actually sold by them to real customers. I know we are not talking about a Pantera north of the border, but it gives an example of how cars could be moved around by dealers.
If you find where the Pantera was listed as being sold from, they may or may not have records of the car being sold in house or moved to another dealership. Another dealership could very well do modifications and there would be little to no paper trail.
