Gold DeLorean

["Murray Fisher" <murrayf@xxxx>]

Re the Gold Deloreans, about all I really know is what I READ (like everyone else) and I have most of the books and magazines that ever referred to the car. From what I have gleaned from these sources, plus a couple phone calls, it appears that the two gold versions were built and ended up in museums.....at the time one of the articles said that it was "required" that parts be available for all cars. So this included a full set of gold plated panels for repairs......when the company went belly up, someone decided those parts could be used for the third car so either the last car or near the last car was assembled by the workers WITH the gold panels. 

A few years ago the owner of this car let word out that he wanted to sell it. I thought his price was awful low (at that time 75K) and called him a couple times. He told me the cost of insurance was astronomical and he had in mind charging admission to SHOW IT. It turned out to NOT be a practical money making venture at all so he wanted to get rid of it. By the time I had thought about it for a short time and called him back, it was already sold. FWIW Dept.
