VIN NUMBERS

Dennis,

Post the vin of your car and we can check the DeTomaso registry to see if any information is shown. Pantera vins do not link to nearly as much info as one finds on most other makes, though. :-(

The VIN number will give you the month and year of manufacture, but nothing else. Well, it'll also tell you the model (I assume a Pantera) and the factory (but they were all built at the same place anyway).

as Larry says, let us know the number and we can decode it...

check out Chuck Melton's website, he has a decoder on it and a bunch of other great info.

Does some one mind looking up 6909? Thanks, Vince

Hey Vince! since the number is not necessarily an accurate reflection of the info, you need to list the complete VIN. It is a rotation number but apparently cars were not always built/completed in numerical order.

My Vin is THPNNE06984 and according to thr VIN decoder breaks down as follows

T =DeTomaso
H= Modena Italy
PN= Pantera
N= 1973
E= December
06984 = 6984th unit built except the factory started with 1001 (I believe) so mine is somewhere around the 5,983rd unit built.

Even though my car was built in 1973 it has always been titled as a 1974. (Ford usually introduces a new model year around September, I saw an add for a 2006 something or other when I was reading the paper this morning.

Anyway Vince, either list your whole VIN and I will help you decode it or follow the above link to Chuck's decoder.

It seems like our cars are brothers or cousins or something like that. I mis read what I thought the thread meant. I thought some one had the registry, not just VIN info. I thought I might trace my cars history. Thanks anyway. Vince

Vince,

Registry was a private venture by Bill Van Ess, not supported by factory. It relied on owner supplied info for the most part.

Nothing shown for 6909

Dennis,

Car is not listed with any info in the Registry. Decoding the VIN says it was built in January of 1973. I suspect car was modified to the wide-body look by a previous owner, and not a factory built wide body. By the way, there are Pantera GTS models, and GT5 and GT5S models. But no GTS 500's.

But we don't care when it was built, or who did what, or what you want to call it. We just know they are great to own, and better to drive ;-)
