[DMCForum] Re: Deloreans on Ebay

["dom1172" <dom_diaz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

VIN 500 is the first production car. Period. It's in a museum. It's 
displayed as the first Delorean in the production line. It's 
documented as the first production car. Prior to that was pre-
production. You had an early VIN. You can even say it was a FACTORY 
car but NOT, I repeat NOT pre-production, no matter how hard to want 
to believe it or make it true, it isn't. Period.
