Todd, Too bad your talking about Ken Koncelic, the man that RUNS the DeLorean conventions! FWIW, Ken (IMHO) has done more for DeLoreans and DeLorean owners than any other individual (not associated with a vendor) than anyone else I know.. Not only does he run a non-profit DeLorean car show every two years open to EVERYONE (dont have to join a club, or deal with a specific vendor), but he is also active in making available many previously hard to find parts. Frankly, I think when a trained eye like Ken's decides that a car is too far gone to restore, he is doing us all a favor by parting it out. Not only is he making parts available to keep other cars on the road, he is taking a "basket case" off the road that would surely end up in someones hands who would spend WAY too much money on fixing it, then sell it for a loss and tell everyone they know about what a piece of crap DeLoreans are! If you (or anyone else) is so gung-ho on saving every basket case DeLorean, then put your money where your mouth is.. Make him a offer on the car, as is... --- Vin 5386 <delorean_stainless@xxxx> wrote: <SNIP> > Otherwise > your just a parts Pirate in my book. no better then > a > legal chop shop and you can sit at another table > during a show or convention, because I won't > associate > with people who destory the dream in search of the > old > mighty buck. > > Todd > Vin 5386 > > P.s.
