i was driving around at work, in San Jose California, when a friend told me that there was a Delorean in a driveway near his house. i went to check it out and sure enuff, there it was. it had a Calif. license plate on it(PROTO1) although it obviously had not ben registered in years. it was covered in dust and had 4 flat tires. i noticed that it didnt have the black window louvers on the back and had sliding side windows on the doors. i knocked on the door and the "lady of the house" told me that her husband had purchased it at auction when J. Delorean was going though his "legal problems". she told me that it had less that 180 miles of "test track only miles", and that hubby had paid $37K for the car. i had to take off and hubby wasnt home, so i left my card for him to call me. ill fill you all in as soon as i get more info. happy driving, james- STAINLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/group/dmcnews Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com
