[DML] Re: Delorean Sighting

["robert parker" <roberthparker@xxxx>]

I,too,was there (working/playing). The VIN on that car was 2! It was 
reported to be Prototype #2, apparently sold for $10,000. It needed some TLC 
badly! I have articles & a picture from the San Diego News, November,1984 
of a Long Beach auction where Prototype #'s 1 & 2 were sold. #1 for $35,000, 
#2 for $21,000. How things change over time!!! Drive Stainless Robert 
VIN 6924
