Subject: 5400 mile - pristine Delorean possibly for sale - VIN 855
Hey group....
I have a dilema and was going to post here first...
I got my Delorean in Feb of 2001.... it had 4300 miles on it....
I've done all the upgrades, tail-lights, radiator (PJ grady brass)
tankzilla, alternator.... it runs perfectly.
It's been my dream to have one, and I finally got it.... I am only the
second owner, and the car has been in NM it's whole life. Not a spec
of rust... not a crease in the black leather seats (only flaw is a
cracked dash, which is covered with a dash cover made for the delorean...
It's black interior and automatic...
I always told myself I would never get rid of it....
My wife has always wanted a convertible mustang...
I always figured there would be plenty of time....
Last week, during a pregnancy check up, an echo-cardiogram was done on
my wife to follow up on a childhood open heart surgery.
The outcome was not good.... I'll stop there.
Anyhow, I have come to the decision that her having that one thing is
more important to me than keeping my Delorean.
I'll take any sincere offers on my car...
I'm trying desperately to sell any of my cars to get the funds for one
(I also have a 1956 Mercury Monterey... you know, so I could say I
took the D back to 1955 and brought back the mercury).
Anyhow... I don't have a long time... so if you're interested, please
let me know.... I would also consider a trade for a Delorean in not so
good shape plus enough cash to get a used Mustang if anyone is
interested in that. I really dont want to give my D up, but my wife
put up with a lot through the years we have been together, and this
one thing is something she always wanted.... and when I had the chance
to buy her what she wanted, I spent the money on the mercury and
replacing Delorean parts.
I am located in Farmington, NM (close to Durango, CO)... the car would
drive across the country without problems.... or could be shipped.
Obviously I couldn't pay to ship it.
You can see pictures of the car at http://groups.msn.com/delmerc
Click the "pictures" link on the left... those are photos taken about
a month ago.
Easiest way to reach me is on my cell at 505-215-2786.
thanks,
mike

Subject: Dead DeLorean
Well Martin, I've got a dead DeLorean in the church parking lot.
Either the rain or my wayward ways have gotten me.
No juice is entering the coil. Didn't check the resistor, but I did
jump the coil straight from the battery post. Using a timing light
determined no juice is leaving it. Electronic ignition module is next
in line -- where's it located, and what is the test procedure? Could I
just ground the coil and test for output?
Don't think the pastor wanted to mess with my little silver car at
10:00 on a rainy night.

Erik, You won't have any problems swapping them out.

<< I have an ECU unit (black box behind the drivers seat) that I'm not
sure if it works or not. It appears to be good. The connections and
such look good and the box doesn't have any problems with it. Would
I damage my delorean if I swapped out ECU's to test? The ECU that I
want to test came from an automatic, and my car is a manual. Where
there any differences? >>

Subject: weird...
hi folks..
here's a weird one.. my four-way flashers have decided to only work on
the
right hand side. i have no bulbs burned out and the really weird thing is
that
if i put the left flesher on while the four-ways are running, they all
operate..
even when the vehicle is not running. any thoughts?
