Re: [DML] Proto-1 on eBay?

["delorean_3" <delorean3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I certainly hate to see Tony sell Prototype-1...I personally feel 
that this predecessor of our cars should stay within the DeLorean 
family and the prospect that somebody else could buy it and whisk it 
away and we'd never see it a piece of our history again is 
saddening.  My only hope is that somebody like Mr. Wynne will 
purchase it and place it in the new DeLorean Museum for all to 
behold...hell, I'd even be willing to start a fundraising campaign to 
prevent it from falling into hands outside the community.
