Although this may sound like a good idea I do not believe anyone has the authority to create and issue vin #'s for Deloreans any more. The only possible way MIGHT be for a State authority to issue a vin # for a car that had it's legal vin # obliterated, they do this in cases of cars that were stolen, had the vin # altered, and then recovered. Before being returned to the rightful owner the State CAN create a vin #. NO ONE INDIVIDUAL can alter or create or issue vin #'s this is a Federal crime! Last word on JZD is that he is involved in creating a new car anyway.
