Re: [DML] Hand Built DeLoreans

Several years ago, I found a box full of VIN numbers at the Columbus Warehouse. The numbers were from the 1982 production run. The VIN numbers were the dash board type, not the door plate type.

In addition, there was a lot of information addressed to Marvin Katz about resuming DeLorean production. Letters from many different established car suppliers addressing the need to build body dies, supply whatever parts Mr. Katz needed to put the car back into production. 

Based on the information that I read, it was very easy to produce whatever was needed to build the car again...it was just a matter of financing, and according to Jerry Rhine, that aspect of resuming DMC production fell through when Mr. & Mrs. DeLorean decided to divide their assets.

There is a possibility to bring the car back to life and resume production. Carroll Shelby, the builder of the AC Cobra, found some unfinished VIN numbers from the Cobras production run & was able to complete several cars...several years later.

Recently, A gentleman found an uncompleted Mercedes Benz 300sl Gullwing (one of the last made) in a Chicago warehouse. He was able to work with a 300sl specialist in Germany to have the car finished, and titled as a 1957, not a 2002.

I do not believe that it is wise to guess, speculate or spread misinformation about DMC Houston's future endeavors, in my opinion. 

It takes a lot of confidence for Stephen Wynn to publicly claim (and have reported on the NEWS) that building more DeLorean cars, is in his future.

DeLorean Motor Co has a toll free number, an email address, and a postal address. I believe that Stephen would be happy to answer any question(s) regarding his plans for the DeLorean.
