VIN 173???? Thats another thing about ebay, sometimes people don't know what they are talking about... I believe Deloreans started at vin 500 - this guy claims 173.... Its at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=592363778&r=0&t=0 The other thing, I've seen several pictures that claim "new leather on the seats"... as the one above, and NONE of them look like they are in good shape... Unless there is something about the replaced leather seats - mine are original, and I don't have a wrinkle in them... not a blemish.... these so called new ones are always beat up looking... mine are original.. although I go through extreme measures, I make people take things out of their pockets before they can sit in them, I also keep them very well lubed with silicone based sealant... You can see pics of my seats at: http://www.iqintermedia.com/~pikem anyhow, I just wondered because I see lots of people claiming new seats, and they look like crap to me. Mike
