If you just want to know more about it or clarify some details, I'm 
sure he would be more than happy to talk with you about it. I believe 
that a phone call to him is much more worth while than just speculation.


Rich,

I have no problem with someone claiming that their Delorean(or any 
car for that matter) is so and so,WHAT I DO have a problem with is 
when someone is SELLING their car and they are claiming that their 
car is a so and so car,WITH NO documented proof,just their word,when 
it comes to money,People will say whatever you want to hear to make a 
sale.Do not get me wrong,he might be 100% right on his claims,and 
might be the most honest person around,BUT without Documented 
proof,it is just outright B/S and possible fraud on his part,I did 
my homework on my car(vin000570)and found out it's (recorded) 
previous DMC history,plus I have *real* vin plates.Basically any 
bidders on that car on Ebay,are depending on the sellers honesty,and 
may be up for a expensive disapointment.This may be a case where a 
previous DMC worker (or Owner/ seller)got a hold of some P.Production 
parts,puts them on the car,and when the person sold the car informed 
the buyer,that it had rare parts on it,then person # two sells the 
car and forgets to tell buyer # three,about the rare add on 
parts,then buyer # three goes to sell the car,and swears up and 
down,that it is a genuine P.Prouduction car,because it *has* 
P.Production parts on it,even thou,he has no documented proof of that 
fact.----BOTTOM LINE-- Buyer beware--Do your own investagation before 
you plunk down your hard earned cash,and DO NOT EVER EVER EVER,go by 
what someone says,ASK for Documented proof,of what they are 
claiming,otherwise--pass on it.

P.S.

Also I did email the seller to get more info,he has never gotten back 
to me!
