[DML] Another DeLorean found

I'm not sure how to put this, but here goes. As Ken K put it -
I "pulled a Ken". After the DCS, several of us (Marty Maier, Bruce
Benson, Ron Wester and a few others not routinely on the list) made
an extended trip in the Carolinas. After driving the Blue Ridge
Parkway, and a couple of stops in North and South Carolina, we ended
up at my mother's in SC (Hi Travis and Louie!). The rest of the group
checked into the local Ramada Inn, where the desk clerk upon seeing 7
DeLoreans roll in remarked "I know a guy around here with one of
those for sale".
We followed up on it and found a nice non-running 81 gas-flap-
automatic-black interior car (VIN2466 for those tracking such
things). Very original right down to the headliners and door struts
(6/81 date stamp!). So I bought it. And the enclosed 20' trailer that
it was stored in. And the Chevy Suburban in the garage (figuring that
I could either sell it all when I get home, or replace my minivan
with an honest tow vehicle) The price was right.
We made it back to Chicago unevenfully other than learning how to
drive this rig for the first time in the mountains and in rain of
biblical proportions. So now my other DMC is still back in South
Carolina, and I'm here with next Winter's restoration project. I'll
be back there in a few weeks to retrieve my original DeLorean.
Anybody need a good deal on a Dodge minivan? The Monster Garage is
full.
