Who wants to save the "hurt D"?

["Stian Birkeland" <dmc_norway@xxxx>]

I'd like to get some feedback on this very very "crazy" 
suggestion...Although this may never have been done before, does not mean it 
wouldn't work...

First, let me say that James' figures of how costly it would be to get the 
car back to shape is very truly.

Second, I doubt anyone will buy it.

Third, wait too long and the dealer will simply wreck it.

In other words, better to part this car out instead of letting it die 
completely. The spirit of the lost VIN will live on in each part :)

Now, here's the idea which CAN work:
19 people on this list can buy this car for $400,-
38 people on this list could buy this car for $200,-
75 people on this list could buy this car for $100,-
150 people on this list could buy this car for $50,-
And this list has 1200(?) subscribers?

Think about it...

What we would need is a coordinator with storage space and who lives near 
Octagon Auto.

The car could be parted out, and one could in advance agree who needed what 
parts. I, for instance, would be happy if I got the hood. Who knows? MAYBE 
those interested wanted different parts! What a buy!

Since I came up with this crazy idea, I'll be willing to coordinate 
everyone's wishes for parts. But I'd need an American D-owner who lives 
close to Octagon Auto, who could go there and buy it, part it out and 
shipping parts away.

So...if you'd like to be a part of this project please e-mail me privately 
and use this address: DELOREAN@xxxx

I'm confident that there is a good DeLorean-spirit out there. Come on, let's 
not let this car end up as stainless nails....

Best wishes
