[DML] Discovered Delorean complete with Cave Art

["Jeff Chabotte" <jchabotte@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings all.

On my travels today, I happened to have stopped in a local foreign car
mechanic's shop who specializes in Bimmers. Long story short, I was
there to scrounge up prices for BMW parts (I am picking up the
restoration of Griff's BMW From BTTF2, where Tate Coghlan left off). I
stopped there because the interior guy I'm having do the BMW happened to
know the guy at the shop who actually happened to be a friend of my
dad's. (they got on about it after reminiscing about the old CT
dragstrip)...

ANYWAYS!!

Vin 4941, late '81, (I knew that instantly by the hood) with 10,012
miles on it. Grey interior, automatic. The car had been at the shop for
over 10 years. It's one of those classic stories about how a guy brings
his car in for repairs, and never pays for it, and then the car becomes
property of the garage. When I told him about the BMW being from the
movie, he mentioned having the Delorean, so I decided to check it out.

Needs a few things such as fuel accumulator, louvres, door struts, and
probably all the updates. It's pretty much original. A few pieces of the
interior were out of alignment. But most of all, the passengers door
overhead piece was missing.

In marker (upside down, looking at it) was: 10/11 12.24 am

So does anyone know if the factory workers were using the dd/mm (as is
normal in europe) or mm/dd?

The guy may sell it for a reasonable offer. He is judging his prices
based on Hemmings listings. But from what this list has taught me, we're
looking at a car of about 9-11K. He had stated that "we just got it
running again this year" and also told me "Well, keep in touch and in
the springtime you can take it out and let me know what's wrong with
it". this is an older gentleman, who obviously doesn't know about DMCH
and is in no rush to get rid of the car. He's been working on this car
as he can locate pieces. (Damn, I love the DML)

Should I feel bad if I downtalk this car and get a deal out of it? HECK
NO! So after the restoration of Griff's BMW, I may just look into that!
