As far as I know the engine number and frame numbers hardly ever match the car's VIN, though most of the ones I've seen posted online were only off by a hundred or so. We're not "numbers matching" cars and probably never will be. I'd say that unless you know with some certainty that the engine was replaced, it's probably the original. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "dsontos" <dsontos@...> wrote: > > Here is a note for the DeLorean historians here.
