Other things of note On the rear left rear bumper it doesn't say Delorean but there is a plate above the license plate that does There is some kind of spring arrangement for a striker on the rear louvre There are custom pads on the center console There are many custom things on this car but nothing to lead me to believe this is a "pre production" car. There is a high probability that the car was in an accident based on the customization and the fact that it is painted. Until a VIN is posted I would not accept this as anything but a late 81 customized, painted Delorean that appears to be clean and in decent shape. That odd container bottle is a coolant recovery bottle. David Teitelbaum vin 10757
