16 Miles Away- But May have fuel problems?

["treehouse2000us" <treehouse2000us@xxxx>]

Dear DML,

I Have just recently traveled quite a distance to see a DeLorean in 
person for the first time, and I absolutly think its the coolest car 
in the world. Its even better in person than I could have imagined. 
And you are right to say its just like a glove, it fits me so well! 
But heres the kicker. I may have one in my back yard I had no idea 
existed!

Basicly the run down is an old man died 10 years ago and his son is 
running from the IRS for not paying taxes. We chatted with the wife 
who is about 75-80 years old and she said her husband had one, but 
wouldnt really talk about the car or her son since hes in hidding. 
We gave her our number so her son could get in contact with us. 
Hopefully well talk soon to him and get a chance to see his fathers 
DeLorean, only 16 miles away! I have no clue if it is for sale, but 
from the sounds of things it hasnt run for at least 10 years, and 
sounds like one of those low mileage cars, like under 10-20,000 miles.

Now I want to be fairly pepared to see it, and if its for sale for a 
great price I'll buy it, provided no frame rust which since its been 
indoors for the past 10 years, it shouldnt have. However, I would 
like a checklist procedure to drain and clean the fuel system before 
I start it up, if I get a chance to do it. Does anybody have a set 
of instructions that I can go by? 

If and when I get a chance to see it I will record the vitals, 
Black/Grey, Vin #, Trans Type and Milege and post it to the DeLorean 
Record. But man, I cant get over there may be one only 16 miles 
away, and mabye (I'm praying) even only 16 feet away in a few months!
