Jeff, good point, I see the situation a little differently, its not a complete matter of poor record keeping, but a matter of 2 different manufacturers. I doubt ther are any records for the pushbuttons, but I'm sure Ford kept good records for the Panteras manufactured at the Fossalta plant. However Ford did not share those records with the deTomasos, and as far as I know, Ford has never shared those records with anybody, which makes me wonder if they even exist,or were possibly destroyed. All indications are that the deTomasos kept good records of the Panteras manufactured at the Bruciata plant, and have helped owners over the years with those records. DeTomaso simply has no docuentation of the Panteras assembled during the Ford era.
