Well it appears that the raffle car is off to a good start. Sales of tickets have been consistent and ahead of the sales of the last raffle car at the same period. I have been asked in a few separate e-mails about the car itself. This is the car I drove to Evansville in September. It was complete and running around June of last year. The interior has been redone and is clean and original. Last years car had an aftermarket interior. If you remember the posts on the car all said the same thing. GREAT RUNNING CAR, Strong engine. The car has been gone over from top to bottom and has had all appropriate repairs and updates. It did not need the work that the last one did and at this point there are no donated parts on it since most of the stuff worked anyway. The only problem was a bad head gasket and that has been repaired. Actually we did both sides so that is one job that does not need to be redone. The engine is clean and one thing I like about the car is that As Patrick ( The DML's Dear Abby equivalent) Stated in his report on the car, it starts real easy. Just touch the key and it goes. It also runs real well and is actually the best running Delorean I have owned from and engine standpoint. Unfortunately for me but fortunate for the upcoming winner, the transmission had the classic C1 drive failure and the computer governor also was going. This is being rebuilt and should be done some time next week. Mechanically this is a very reliable car from what experience I have. ( I have driven the car about 3500 miles). The body is good but not perfect or at least not yet. As time goes out we will take out the few very minor door dings in it, I think there are three with two being in the passenger door. The car has about 43,000 miles from what I remember. There are re powder coated rims and new tires, brakes, computer governor and the electric all redone inside the car. Any car I get I strip out the interior completely and redo all the wiring to make sure it all works. This includes new speakers that I put in at the Chicago Spring Social last year. The fuel system is new and luggage compartment is like concours. This is a car that if I had not promised it to the raffle I would consider keeping. It is a driver not a concours and it will drive you for years. Windows and locks all work. Dash is refurbished, binnacle is clean, seats are NEW covers so the inside shows well. There is a maximum of 600 tickets to be sold and as of tonight I believe we are close to the 100 mark. So take a chance and win a great running car. The proceeds go right back to the show and help to fund a possible next car. The rules and regulations are at _www.deloreancarshow.com_ (http://www.deloreancarshow.com) Take a chance. The last winner only bought two tickets.
