DeLorean in Tracy, CA

[Ian Stewart <istewart@xxxx>]

Hello list,

I live in Tracy, CA (60 miles east of SF, 60 miles south of Sacramento) 
and at a truck service/shipping yard (First Class Truck Service) at the 
intersection of Paradise and Grant Line roads, about a mile from where I 
live, there sits a DeLorean. The proprietors of the yard know very 
little about the car and don't seem to know who the owner is at all, but 
from looking at the car from somewhat of a distance, I can tell the 
following: It is an '81 with hood lines and fuel flap, and seemingly a 
black interior. All four tires are going flat and there is a blemish of 
some sort on the passenger-side door. There's a small bump on the 
driver's side quarter panel above the glass, so I take this to mean the 
car has the retractable radio antenna. I do not know if it is an 
automatic or a manual, and I didn't get close enough to get a VIN 
number. However, the plates on the car indicate that it hasn't been 
registered since 1983. Also, I was told that the car has a blown engine. 
Since the owners of the truck yard don't know who the car belongs to, 
I've been trying to find the owner myself. It's probably a long shot, 
but this list seems to have a diverse collection of DeLorean owners as 
well as lurkers, so I hope somebody on here can help me. Thanks in 
advance to anyone who can.
