[DML] Re: Barris DeLorean Auction

["jeff512tr" <cingular512@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW, 2 years ago I was at a Kruse Auction, and they were conducting 
a sale at a car museum in Daytona that had a few "movie cars." George 
Barris himself was there, hawking a Batmobile as "one of the orginal 
4 from the TV show." The car brought a staggering $200,000. Weeks 
after the auction, the buyer learned that this was not a car used in 
the TV show, but a recreation built by Barris many years later. 
Lawsuits were threatened but in the end Kruse bought the car back.
Now a Barris BTTF DeLorean? Hmmm....
