217 Esperante's
Awesome list! Thank you for posting it. By my count there were 217 Esperante's built. It is very interesting to see that the first and the last cars share the same ending numbers 213001. I wonder what the question marks meant next to some of the Esperante Vin numbers?Originally posted by Ackmann View Post

I really fell in love with the Panoz from the frist time I drove one in 1997. Since then I have a been extremely fortunate to have been around the factory at the right times and I love to learn.
I know that I am the first non factory person to drive the very first 2005 GTLM Hardtop to be produced. While at the factory And Danny Panoz himself let me drive him in the DPM Mustang on our way back to Chateau Elan.
It's up to us to keep the Panoz flame burning!Last edited by PanozGTLM; 05-18-2011, 05:05 AM.Comment

Ackmann,
Mine is the '04 Esperante GT w/ VIN ending in 213007. Manual; convertible. South Carolina. Purchased from GA owner who bought new from Riverside dealership in Macon.
It would be nice on your list if the distinction could be made between Esperantes & Esperante GTs, like you've done for the GTLMs.
I was asked at a car show this past weekend if mine was the 1st GT built, '04 being the
1st year and only 14 GTs being built during '04-'06. I have not bothered John (A.) Leverette at PADCo with this question, but based on your list, my car could very well be the 1st GT. Pewter metallic was only offered in '04, and there is 1 other convertible and 1 coupe in the pewter.
Thank you for taking the initiative to get a list compiled.
