I think that it's the same as the Ford powered Iso Grifo's and other Ford 351CL powered Iso Rivolta's
The Chevy powered Iso's having a heavy ironcast ZF 5 speed . AM also
Mark, congratulations on yet another beautiful purchase. Pretty rare car and can say honestly have not seen many. Gorgeous color!!

Thanks Dan,
It's nice to see you visiting here again. I hope that maybe you're considering another Pantera. By the way, 2281 really gets along well with her new stable-mate. She still looks as gorgeous as she did when you let her go.

Hi Mark, do you know from what car are the back mirrors installed on your Longchamp? and how are they attached to the door?
A real beauty, this Longchamp. More and more people appreciate the other DeTomasos. They grow on you. 
Don't really know from which car, but you will also find those mirrors on the Maserati Quattroporte III and Kyalami.

Hi Dvil, if you look closely, those installed on Mark's Longchamp are not the Vitaloni Tornado used on Quattroporte, Kyalami, and also Renault 5 Alpine Turbo and some Alpine A310. They are not the same shape and not fixed on the door panel.
By the way, it's possible to find the Tornados as new, but they are smaller than those original on the Longchamp (so called "baby Tornado"). I understand the correct size was installed on the Renault 5 Turbo.

Racheliane,
Yeah, sorry. Don't know what I was thinking. They are very far from the mirror I was refering to.
Maybe I looked at the picture of Mikaels "champ". Thanks to you I now know what they are.
I remember seeing those window mounted mirrors on some Panteras. My bad memory says Fiat Ritmo (?).

Sorry for the delay Recheliane,
The mirrors are NOT original to the car as far as I know. They are bonded (tape and silicone) to the glass quarter windows and appear to be the same as many people added to their Panteras in the 1980's and '90s. I seem to recall someone saying this type of mirror came from a Dodge Colt. Regardless, I don't love them and may eventually replace them with the chromed Vitaloni units that you often see on other Longchamps and Maserati sedans.
