I'm not sure if this will help at all but it's interesting, none the less. As far as I know, Ford (Lincoln Mercury) did not sell Pantera's in Canada. The vast majority of '71 to '74 Pantera's in Canada were imported from the US. Some may have come from Europe but that would be quite rare. After '74 was a different matter.
