Are you talking about the Pantera built from rougly 1990 to 1996,

looking like the previous ones but completely re-designed and built

by carbon-fibre and steel, housing a 5 L engine (302 cui?)?

If so, my information tells me 38 were made, and the last one

from spring 1996, was a yellow convertible owned by a french guy.  He

was at the Italy meeting 1996.
