VIN numbering on Deloreans

["birdwell77095" <birdwells@xxxx>]

Looking at Knut's list of VINs, there are only two VINS between 17707 
and 20002. Doeas anyon have VINs in that range? Also, was VIN 7199 
the last '81 made? The '82 series start with VIN 10000. Lastly, I 
notice that the build date varies and jumps around at the end of 
production. Why is that?
