Reply to "Pantera #9053"

I wish I could be of some help on this, but I have no information on #9053 specifically. As for the Carrozzeria Maggiora Panteras in general, George is being far too modest. He knows as much as anyone outside of Italy about this hazy period in De Tomaso history. Most of what I know, I learned from him.

Maggiora went out of business in 2003, so I doubt we will ever have full knowledge of their involvement with De Tomaso.

Of the 100 cars that span the 9001 to 9100 VIN range, I have only been able to document or find any references to the following:
