" Les Gray here,

I ran the Pantera Department at Long & Newman and we NEVER built a car with steel fenders or quarter panels EVER ! ! ! They we completely fiberglass bodies tooled off of my 1972 L Pantera chassis THPNML04371 ( don't know where that car is today )
The frame on this car doesn't look like one of our frames either. Who knows whose body it is......there were several companies trying to build Pantera kit cars back in those days. The difference between those other cars and the Long & Newman car was ours was an EXACT duplicate of the Pantera body and using the entire running gear and suspension and glass from Pantera inventory...... a true replica!

L. Gray"
so, the car used to pull the 'glass body parts was from Gray's Pantera just one number before mine.
