Why would 37 cars not be on the road if you had not dismantled 3? Were the
parts for those 37 not available at DMCHouston or some other parts source?
I think what the author was trying to say was that the delorean car has a
vin number and frame that is not replaceable and some people would just
strip a car for profit instead of trying to fix it. The cars that you
described that were turned into parts cars do sound like they were serious
but I think there are 2 different ideas being batted around here.

Just my 2 cents.
