Serial Number

Flat part of the horizontal surface of the body just behind the brake booster.

On a plate at the base of the windshield on the left side. Also on a plate affixed to the B-pillar.

Commonly known as a vehicle identification number, VIN. Modern cars have a 17 digit VIN but ours does not; just 11 digits.

Many but apparently not all cars also had the last four numbers of the VIN stamped into the bottom portion of each headlight bucket.

As the pedal box VIN is stamped into the chassis rather than attached by rivets to the B pillar or the dashboard, that is the one VIN that should be more valid in the event of any dispute

Thanks everyone. So my VIN is THPNNK06481

Therefore my "serial no." is 6481.

Thanks again for your help.

This one?  Good looking car!

I initially thought someone carpeted over the VIN on your pedal box....  but my eyes were deceiving me...  looks like there is the VIN viewing area exposed...

For most casual discussions, owners just drop everything but the last four numbers, as I refer to my car as 2511.  

often, when you are asked by a fellow owner  “what’s the VIN of your car”, the answer being sought is just the last four numbers. We can get away with this in Pantera land because of the low production and the short time of production.

IMHO, the term “serial number” is applicable to auto stereos, home electronics, etc. but not vehicles.

Looks a little different now!

Very nice. Do you have a fuel-cell in the front trunk, as I see something that doesn’t look like it belongs there unless there is a fuel cell?

Larry

Sure do:

That's why I had trouble finding the VIN

Very nice, street legal still or purely race? Where are you located given it's received a RHD conversion?

Reminds me of when I got my '74, the trunk VIN was carpeted over and no windshield VIN tag or B post tag. I panicked for a moment, that might have been when I found this forum.....

Something doesn't seem right. 6481 sold last week on BAT. The pictures Rocky posted were used.

Steve you need to look into this and double check your vin.

Apologies everyone - I had taken a screenshot of the BAT Pantera's VIN plate to check against mine and when I went back to my photos I mistook that photo for a photo of mine (dumb).

Anyway, my VIN is THPML 04492 - I think that makes it September 1972?

Very nice, street legal still or purely race? Where are you located given it's received a RHD conversion?

Yes it was used in Targa (sealed rally) events for the past 10 years or so and I am making it more 'streetable'. And yes, had a right hand conversion - pretty simple on these cars (I did one back in the mid-1990's).

Whats up with the power steering fluid reservoir?

Amongst many other upgrades it has power steering- makes a huge difference!
