I'm now the proud owner of VIN#4260, in which I purchased from a dealership here in Vallejo, CA. I saw the car about two weeks ago and decided to check it out. I took it to a local mechanic that had worked on many DeLoreans in the past, and he gave it a clean bill of health. It's an 81, with grey leather, 22,000 miles, and almost entirely original. All it needs is a front facia, paint for the facias, and the dash replaced. I've been reading this list since about 1994, so at age 24 I can finally "live the dream" and utilize this wonderful mailing list. Thanks in advance for any help you all can provide!
