There seems to be some confusion over the roles of Consolidated International and Kapac regarding the liquidation of the DeLorean factory Consolidated liquidated both DeLorean and Bricklin. Kapac's owner, Marvin Kantz, was a friend of someone at Consolidated and was approached about buying the remaining stock of parts. While Consolidated sold the remaining DeLoreans, Kapac ended up with the parts. Marvin said he spent $40,000 having divers look over the sunken body dies. The estimated cost of buying the salvage rights to them and the actual salvage process exceeded the expected return on making and selling those panels. Interestingly, Marvin told James Espey and I that he had the divers check the dies but I also heard John DeLorean say in a T.V. interview that it was he who did that. I guess we can take our choice as to who did what. Bruce Benson
