Congratulations Tony and I am happy to see the car go to someone who will not only appreciate and take care of it, but who will also share it with the rest of the DeLorean community. With that, I would like to extend my help and assistance in ANYTHING that you may need to maintain and show this wonderful piece of DeLorean history. I am sure that there are many other DeLorean owners out there who feel and will do the same. Best of luck and I look forward to meeting you and your "three babies" in the near future!!

Hi everyone, sorry to leave you all hanging over the past 24 hrs. I just wanted to make sure the deal was done before I came to light. I am Tony Ierardi owner of the 2003 First Place Concours Delorean #6041. Most of you know me and to the ones that don't there are 5 Delorean Magazines over the years that myself or my car have been in. Vin#6041 is still in perfect Concours condition with 556 miles, I still could not bring myself to drive her, and since she is a Late 81' Gray / 5 Speed, when it came time to look for a 2nd Delorean to buy as a driver I wanted the opposite car, a Balck / Auto Gas Flap Hood car, and found it in Vin#2404. With only 7,500 miles on it she is almost as clean as my Concours car, but one of those is enough, this one gets driven! That brings us to Proto 1: My plans are to bring her back to 100% original condition no mater the cost and to display / show it. The price is private between Bill and myself, but lets just say I never thought I would have a Delorean that cost more than one of my Lamborghini's. As far as the shows, It's first public appearance will be at the DMC Open House in June of 2005. In 2006 I'm trying to work out that it goes to Chicago and then straight off to Belfast. This is not going to be easy to pull off but I think I can make it happen. I will have more news on the car and a BIG surprise for the Delorean community in the next few weeks...stay tuned.
