[DML] Re: Florida Delorean - Was Shipping a Delorean

["wannadelorean" <mcquinlan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This sounds like one that listed on ebay not too long ago.  It was 
originally in NY and had a note on the title that the speedo had 
exceeded manufacturer limits.  The seller said that it really only 
had a little over 11,000 when the speedo died and that 11,000 was 
close to accurate.  He claimed the note on the title was a mistake 
and "this happens all the time".  I thought it was very strange.  He 
claimed not to know anything about the history other than this.  He 
was selling it in an estate sale.  Sounds like someone bought it and 
within a couple months has decided to sell?  

I'm also looking for a manual.  

As an aside, I took a spin with Dan Deutch today in one of his two 
cars and I'm sold. I just need to have an out building built on my 
property.  I need to relocate my woodworking shop from my third bay 
of the garage.  Don't wan't my Delorean sitting outside.

Thanks go out to Dan!  It was amazing to see his Concours winner.  
The car looks like it was built yesterday.
