Help in tracing my Pantera's History

Hi all...pretty new to the forum here as I just purchased my 74 Pantera in February. Have a little work to do before she's on the road.I'm looking for direction in how to trace her history. The P.O. indicated that he was the second owner, having bought the car in 1979. I'm trying to find out her history from new to that point (1979) or to check and see if the story is indeed true. She is #6451 and spent from 1979 until February of 2013 in New York State. How do I find out where she was before that? Thanks for any assistance.

I looked in Chuck Melton's registry. No entries.

The Marti report will tell you which dealership was the original seller.

They aren't as complete as one would expect of a Mustang report because there were so few options and configurations for a Pantera.

Johnnek, some owners have contacted Santiago DeTomaso in Modena. He has all the original factory records from his father's company that manufactured the Panteras, and for a fee his new company will pull your car's serial & see whats in the file. Typically, it only gives the original color, a radio serial (if one was ordered), and a few other details, as well as the dealer it was shipped to and when. His company also sells OEM parts and is reproducing more every week in partnership with Steve Wilkinson in CA.
