My advice Peter, since you disagree with Phillippe's assessment of your Pantera, is to contact Marcel Schaub for whatever build information he has for your car.
by the way Peter.
What are the numbers stamped into the headlight buckets?
How about that picture of the front valence panel?
These things would provide information about your car. Sharing these things would help to validate your sincerity.

I hope the first picture isn't offered to support the existence of a Pantera Plus program. That would be very weak indeed. I couldn't read the text, and I'm not familiar with the magazine article.
According to Jan Norbye the second picture was taken in 1978 at De Tomaso's UK importer. The P7 tires date this picture to have been taken no earlier than 1978. I don't know what it is supposed to prove.
At this point I am in agreement with the guy holding the sickle. Show me a picture of the numbers stamped into the headlight buckets, and a picture of the front valence ... or loose my support.

Thanks a lot for your words!
The problem is :
The car was hardly chrashed in the front.
I bought used headlight buckets from Barbara. / Maybery ? From Ebay.
The hole front was damaged and I built a new front.
As I bought the pantera puzzle , there where no brakes , and no suspension on the car.
Only the chrome stronger steering , the bigger brake maincylinder, the leather dashboard , the leather seats, the 10 inch Campangnolo wheels. The zf was also not includet and I bought one from Patric Hals, wich was a bad idea, because it was hardly damaged. But this is an other story .
I allready tried to find the former owners from the car, but non of them are on facebook or in a telephone list.
I guess , when the first owner of the car is still alive he should know how the car looks back in the days.
The last onwner was a hotel manager near to Austria but located in Germany. He told me , that he bought that car in damaged condition about 15 years ago/as he bought it the restauration was allready started and he did some work also but his skills as a hotel manager where so bad so he stopped to do something. As the years go by , his bussines with the hotel was running bad , he sold some parts from the car.
He was not verry friendly to me after he sold the car, but he said that he bought the car with the steel fender flares on it. He only weld some " dirt mats? " on it, because he bought 17 inch wheels and at this time he need the wheel 80% covered by the fender flares for getting the German Tüv .
Later I cut those ugly parts he had done and only left the nice looking steel fender flares on the car.
