Hey Michael! That DeLorean really sounds like an expensive lemon, but the car is still very interesting - I thought all pre vin#500 were dismantled or destroyed in crash testing. In the DeLorean Gold Portfolio, John Z. is quoted as saying something like the cars were of inferior quality and that none of these first 500 were to be shipped to the US. I think he said they might be shipped to South Africa? I think some of these didn't even have bodypanels... Good luck finding your dream car!
