Hello... I'm trying to understand your question and the purpose of it, but I feel confused. My car is vin 0893 and it was on the first boatload of Deloreans to come to the US. The original owner, whom I bought the car off of had a letter from John D attesting to that fact. If you go to the vin list on the internet you will see where the various VIN's are at.

So were vins 500 through vins 896 those Black shells(made whole) since it equals about the same amount of preproduction black shells produced **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
