[DeTomaso] Info on Pantera needed for buyer!

Another thought:

Each production Pantera had the last four digits of the VIN stamped inside 
the headlight buckets during production.  The headlight buckets would be 
carefully fitted to each car by hand, then they were separated as the cars were 
painted.  They needed a way to reunite the proper buckets with the proper cars, 
hence the serial number stamping.

If the number really is an issue, merely remove one of the headlights and 
peer down inside--the four digits should be clearly visible.
