I've had my Pantera for a month now and I've noticed:
Some 1971 Pantera Dashboards have 3 Air Vents and some have 2.
Anyone know what the story is ?

I don't Know, but they never stopped me before in making up a story 
there was a mandate to add a seat belt warning. thus the original three vents dash deleted the center and placed the lamp there.
there were complaints of not being able to see the AC/Heater controls at night so a "wedge" was placed between the two vents for a dash light
the cost to cover the two pod dash was high so the no pod late dash.

What you say makes sense.
Is that diagram available in the Pantera Manuals?
not the exact, I've done a "cut & paste" to make the illustration I wanted.
the top and bottom are in the parts books, but the center is my creation as It is the replacement dash I purchased. (My original was the bottom but it was lost)
Thanks,
Good luck with the restoration
