WHAT!! How do you build a factory STOCK black fiberglass underbody 
without a running factory !!(all the underbodies as me know them were 
made at the DMC factory) As that car has a production line fiberglass 
underbody.
The black paint shows(as far as I can see)straight "production line" 
SS panels,with NO SIGNS of hand made(re:custom made) SS panels,If it 
indeed is a P.Prod.car,the DASH pads WILL have REAL leather(as my car 
has)and the fiberglass engine lid will be unpainted white on the 
bottom side(he might have painted it) where the stickers are.THAT is 
a true indication of a 500 series Delorean.If it was/is a P.Prod. 
car,it was one AFTER the plant was built.
