Vallelunga registry

Hi Scott & Co.,

I've taken the first tentative steps towards a complete listng of Vallelunga's on my website. Go to: http://www.qv500.com/detomasoregistry.php

Any snippets of information, no matter how seemingly insignificant, will be gladly received.

Best,

BT

BT,

A very big Thank you for implimenting the De Tomaso information to your website. Please feel free to use any of the De Tomaso registry information from the Excel spreadsheet available for download from my website.

On a side note, I am seeking information about the Lamborghini Countach LP400S that was on display at the 1979 Frankfurt auto show. I have a friend that owns a "Grey market" Eurospec Countach imported into the U.S. in the early 80's. It matches all of the text only criteria found about the Frankfurt car, such a unique combination that this car is most likely to be the Frankfurt car. Obviously this would like to be verified. Could you please contact me about this subject via E-mail.

The registry information and E-mail link are available from my website link below.

Thank you, Ron

Thanks Ron,

I'll PM you later regarding the Countach.

Best,

BT

BT,

I believe that the Private Messaging (PM) feature does not work on this board. If you do find out anything, please E-mail me at Parapantera-at-aol.com

Much appreciated, Ron

Looking over your list , I never realized Detomaso made so many Vallelungas. Is there any significance to changing the serial number format?

Hi JK,

Regarding the two different types of VIN, it seems the VL-numbered chassis plates were reserved for special examples outside of the 50-or-so Ghia-bodied 'production' Berlinetta's.

Best,

BT

Any idea what constitutes a "special" example?

Thanks.

A variety of things: alloy bodywork, one-off bodywork, right-hand drive etc. etc. - basically anything that made them substantially different from the 50 glassfibre Berlinetta's Ghia were contracted to build.

My car (VL 1609) for example, has one-off Spyder bodywork by Fantuzzi, 1601 D was right-hand drive, 1606 is a Fantuzzi Berlinetta (a prototype). There were also other cars like the Ghia-bodied 'Competizione 2000' and the original light green Fissore-bodied Vallelunga Spyder (amongst others) that probably also have VL 16XX rather than 807 DT 0XXX VIN numbers.

Best,

BT
