TK,

If I'd had all the info I am about to give you, I would NEVER have 
bought this car, but then again, I am glad I did. My lack of 
knowledge helped me negotiate a steal of a deal, which is important 
to a cheap SOB like myself.

You want to read archive issues for others' checklists:

DMC Houston (WWW.delorean.com) has also got a concours car rating 
checklist if the car you're looking at is close to flawless. It'll 
tell you if that car originally came with a two-key entry system, 
power antenna and such stuff as that.

Good luck, BE CAREFUL, and bring your VISA card... I bought $1,000 
worth of parts the first week I had my car, and could have tripled 
that to get to perfection...
