did factory stock lug nuts for early Panteras come with an embossed isis logo or are those aftermarket. Also, did the valve stem caps come with the isis logo or are those aftermarket too?

Both those items are aftermarket.
Actually, the original factory lug nuts do have an Isis logo. The original valve stem caps do not.

Logo lugnuts were inn fact stock when DeTomaso was in control of the factory in '71. When Ford took over in '72, the logos went away forever.
I called Hall Pantera today to order some- the lady there said the '71 and '72 cars have lug nuts with the logo, the '73 and '74 cars do not, which sounds like what Bosswrench is saying....does that sound like the right answer as far as everyone knows?
Correct. Early 'yes'; late 'no'. I WISH my 74 had them, but alas, plain Jane.
Very interesting.... my '74 had a mixture of both types of lug nuts, so I ordered a set with no logo from a vendor (repros, I am sure). Speaking of valve stem caps, I found four valve stem caps in my car's glove box along with some other vintage stuff- they say "Wonder, Italy" on top and are sivery in color. The sides have some verical grooves. The tops have a small rounded raised area. They are similar to the repro ones the vendors sell, and my guess is they are the real thing...can anyone confirm?
