Serial Number

I saved this post from a few weeks back.
The V should stand for the year and the A designates the Month. I am sure one of the Pantera books would have this break down. I am surprised this info is not listed on PanteraPlace.com or Chuck Melton's page. ;o)

T = Source Company Code (DeTomaso 1971/72)
(Ghia Operations 1973/ )

H = Assembly Plant (Modena, Italy 1971/72)
(Vignale, Italy 1973/ )

PN = Model Code (Pantera)

N = Calendar Year Code (L = 1971)
(M = 1972)
(N = 1973)
(P = 1974)

Thanks.
What's Chuck's web page address ?

Hey guys ! Give me a few hours ! I'm currently writing and uploading images of various bumpers. I need to fact check, then
make the topic visible.
Then I'll create the VIN decoder !

I'm about done with a cooling article too !
Been busy this weekend !

I even drove my Pantera around the block.
First time in almost 3 YEARS !

After looking at Chuck's site, this leaves me with some confusion. He notes in his example that the serial number ending in 3381, is the thirty three hundred and eighty first car that came off the assembly line. I feel pretty certain that I have seen on this bulletin board, a note that claims that serial #'s started at 1001. That would make his example car, number 2380. Can anybody confirm this?

Thanks,
David M

OK---- I read the fine print, and now it's clear.

David M

thanks Chuck.

You mean 874 * and such ?

874 = Pantera.

Don't remember what the Mangusta had, if anything. The newer DeTs probably have some
thing similar.

I've add that in the comments section at my site.
The devil is in the details !

Yes. Thanks Chuck for your help and the great info on your site.
