Olczyk, Let me make a suggestion if you will. You bought the DeTomaso Paperwork for a certain price? Right? Ok, then you should come up with a cost that is reasonable based on how much you paid for the documents. Each invoice should be copied and then sold to whomever requests it for a small fee. The original documents should be kept together as a historical catalog of documents. This way the value of the catalog is also maintained. A small fee of say $15-$30 would make sense to me to obtain copies.

Also, I think George (Cowboy as you call him) should be paid a small fee for each document sold thru this forum.

Just my 2 Cents.
George, I think you should re-re title this thread. It’s not a registry, it’s ARCHIVES, and it is quite real. Phillippe bought the collection from Marcel Schaub. Marcel told me the collection was far from complete, but he did have a LOT of information on a lot (but not all) non-US cars.

The data on US cars is sparse. They were all built to a single standard (which changed over time of course) and the only documentation De Tomaso kept was the shipping and sales invoice to Ford. It’s really more of a customs requirement. I bought a copy of the document for my own car from De Tomaso when I visited with Fred Phillips in 2013. Mine lists something like 25 cars by serial number (not all in sequence, but in the same general neighborhood), and listed the color and engine number of each car, and a total price for the shipment.

Interesting conversation piece to have....

FWIW Marcel was asking 125,000 Euros for this collection. Fred tried to buy it but wouldn’t pay that much. One can only guess what Philippe had to pay but suffice it to say, it wasn’t cheap! So if you think that he is asking an unreasonable amount to share the info he has, realize it will take a thousand years to make back his investment, most likely.

Lashdeep Singh bought a smaller collection of similar documents on 9000-series cars from a source in Italy. He likewise paid a fortune and it will be difficult for him to recoup his investment, even if he charges a lot for the info he has to each individual....

Nobody (except maybe Marcel!) ever got rich selling De Tomaso parts, magazines, or information.....
For Pantera blueprints/drawings….

Are you selling the originals separately as memorabilia?

OR

Will you make and sell high resolution copies?

I personally am not interested in memorabilia, but in the technical information in building the Pantera. Therefore, access to ALL available drawings would be desired. A CD like the POCA “the Works” would be great. Purchasing separate drawings would be like buying a single page of the Ford Parts Book.

You make mention to FaceBook. I don’t do facebook, period. So could you share what your intent concerning the distribution of your acquired great archives
