Marti Reports

I just got mine in the mail today. Pretty cool.

Ron,

Can you show us what the Marti report looks like for, I am assuming, a Pantera? A photo or scan would be very interesting to see what these look like and what sort of information is on them.

Thanks,

Mark

Thanks Denis -- very interesting.

I tried to get a Marti report for my 72 a while back. He said he had no info for my car. His best guess was maybe the car was sold new in another country, probably Canada. So I guess he only has USA records.

Mike

Mike, Give 'em a call back. I don't know how long ago 'a while back is' because they also have Canadian records. I spoke to them last summer and they were iffy, yet as seen in the previous post they now manage to produce a 'cute' report. It is simple compared to Mustangs but still brings some interesting info to add to your cars's history and will shut-up any Ford 'guy' who still thinks it's one of 'those kits' because Marti is the benchmark in Ford & Mustang source & scarity documentation

Kevin Marti has access to all of Fords databases, as far as production numbers for Ford cars, if you have the money he will search the database. It is amazing some of the reports I have seen.

OK I just ordered the deluxe report. We will see what happens this time....Mike

Does Marti sell door vin tags? If not who does? JD

JD I know the vendors sell door tags, BUT the one I purchased refused to stamp the tag.
I bought a reproduction door tag for a Torino from Marti Works once and it was a dead ringer for the original.

Very neat!

Ron,

Any idea why your Pantera Unit Number does not match your VIN? All the others appear to match.

Has anyone verified the accuracy of these reports?

Hmmm. That is curious. Good question, William. I have no idea, but that's what I got in the report as you can see. At first I thought it might be that the other 127 Panteras were built for other-than-U.S. sales, but 5606 has the same VIN and matching unit number. Must be what the records show for whatever reason. I'll have to ask Marti to see if they know.

UPDATE: Just received this e-mail from Marti Auto:

Ron,
Unfortunately, that is a typing error we made. Please send the report back and we will be generating a corrected one to get to you. I'm sorry about the inconvenience.

Thank you,

Thanks for the catch!

Got a call from the "Marti Report" people today. They say there is NO info for my #3482. They say they have US and Canada info, and that my # was probably delivered to another country. I know my car was in CA. for a long time, but I dont have all its history. Were any cars sold new in Mexico ? Thoughts anyone ?

Mike

The mystery is solved ! When I got my car there was one letter wrong on the title. There was a G where there should have been a C, representing May production. Looks like that mix up happened from the very beginning. Kevin Marti says that with the G in my vin #3482 makes a good number. Just ordered my report.

Mike

MARTI's report came today. Good stuff! I was told about 20 PANTERA orders have been received, they are considering more tags for us. Question the 2nd line on the Vehicle order image contains: VIN, COLOR, PORT OF ENTRY info. and 4 more number sets does any one find the last 4 number set to correlate to any other car info, like motor number or body service number? JD

I got my Marti report a week ago and the original color on the report is incorrect. I'm still waiting for a reply/correction. Also, I think that my port of entry is incorrect, but I have no way of knowing for sure.

I've noticed that on some of the reports that were posted on this board, the car was serialized before it was released, and on others it was released before it was serialized. Can anyone shed some light on this? Mine was released, then serialized.

This link shows Ron's car serialized, then released.

My report shows: released = 11/14/74, serialized = 11/15/74, sold = 11/30/74, built = 01/00/74. JD

Got my Marti Report this weekend. The glitch was his info has a G for April and my car has a C for May production. Guess the car was stamped wrong from new. The title had a G and did not match the vin, so I had it corrected.

Sold new at Van Nuys Motors Inc.
5201 Van Nuys Blvd.
Van Nuys CA. 91401

Anyone know what is at that address now ?

Thanks, Mike

The city now shows to be Sherman Oaks:
