It would seem that you took some early mis-information and tried to use it to make your car seem more valuable than it really is. In any case you no longer own vin 570 so what is your point? Even Johnny Carson's car was owned by DMC but it is not valuable because of it's low vin and no one is saying it is. As far as the "black" bodies they could have been mixed in to the production of the early cars as most of the parts that were on them must have been. Most of your knowledge of Deloreans is from 20 years ago and much of it is incorrect especially your removal method for doors. Your claim that you "didn't have a manual" doesn't mean they didn't exist, only that you never read it for the correct procedure. I cannot recall in any printed matter anything saying any vin after 500 was not a "Production" car. Even the cars dedicated to company purposes WERE production vehicles, ie, they were made on a production line, they were just intended for company purposes and maybe, eventually, for sale maybe to the employees or the general public. In any case it is a BIG leap to say they were intended for destruction. It is fairly common for auto companies to sell thse kinds of cars to their employees. Eventually the employees would have sold them to the general public. Events changed everyone's plans. After vin 500 every car had all the paperwork to be able to title and register. A pre-production car that was never intended for sale to the public would not have the necessary, origional paperwork and would not have a vin plate with a vin #. It would look like Pilot #25. Your arguments trying to make vin 570 more valuable only continue to perpetuate misinformation as does your advice on door removal.
