Re: [DML] Red DeLorean with a pedigree

If he doesn't have title records to back the story up, then there isn't much 
to go on. Like him, I have a red D, and I was told a "sweet" story to go with 
my car. I was a bit more naive with Deloreans, and I believed that my car had 
been factory painted as some sort of market study. I do not believe this 
anymore. However, I do know that my gray interior 82 was painted at the 
dealership in Texas, and I have the titles from new to prove it. That's the 
only way that you can be sure that it wasn't painted on down the line. The 
fact that the door jams weren't painted on his car, meaning the stainless 
part, makes me suspicious. My dealer job covers everything. The car could be 
easily disassembled, especially by a dealer, to paint the panels 
individually. This would be necessary to get the best coverage and a factory 
look. I would be a bit suspicious of such a claim, but then again, who knows? 
Where is the proof?
