Bill,

I would assume that this car was one of the last ones (83's) that were 
purchased by Kapac (Consolidated International) when DMC went into 
receivership. At this point Kapac purchased all of DMC's inventory - 
including unsold cars. Kapac then sold the remaining DeLoreans at approx 
$22,000 a piece. I have a video clip from this time where an Entertainment 
Tonight-type show interviewed the owner/director of Kapac. They also pan the 
Kapac lot showing over a hundred DeLoreans unsold in the background. There's 
nothing super-rare about a "Kapac car". 

An interesting note - my car is VIN 11596, build date of Jan 1982. In my 
paperwork for the car i have some Kapac documents outlining warranty 
information for my car including a buisness card for Kapac employee Donald L. 
Bowman. On the top of the document in typewriter type is "Chesrown 
Oldsmobile-GMC Columbus OH." The document then goes to say that the Issuer 
of the Warranty is DeLorean Motor Car, distributed by Consolidate 
International. the next page is more warranty information for a 1 yr/12K 
mile insured service contract. again it says by DeLorean motor car 
distributed by Consolidated International. the delivery date of my car was 
4/15/83. 

Anyone have any idea why a car that was built in Jan of 1982 didn't get 
delivered to the owner until April 1983? anyone have any idea where the car 
was for a year? was it seriously on a dealer lot that long, and then Kapac 
bought it and sold it to the first owner? I'd be interested in anyone's 
thoughts pertaining to this!!
