[DML] Re: Preproduction Car On eBay--- Owner Reply

["fivetwofive" <CBL302@xxxx>]

(I am the one running that auction)
Hey,
You have No idea what you are talking about,the Pre-production was a 
running car(NEVER was in ANY KIND of fire)PLEASE IF YOU DO NOT KNOW 
YOUR FACTS--SHUT YOUR MOUTH, I really hate it when 
misinformed ,people that know NOTHING about cars,put down other 
peoples cars,they were NOT scattered about they are neatly covered
(and parked),--Remember--IT's a GARAGE---,what do you expect it to 
look like a living room???? As for the Bricklin it is a Clean 
car,that went thru ALL Connecticut MVD inspections/tests before they 
let me get a registeration.This is a person that I refused to SELL 
parts to,as he looked to shady!!(See a pic of one of my bricklins at 
www.bricklin.org ,under members cars(vin #1024)
All parts are stored in Bins/ boxes/or shelves,What he saw as "junk 
parts" were, well, damaged JUNK parts,that came off Two of my parts 
cars,(one a "fire" car) that I had not disposed of at the time.
I have been on this list since 1997,and a Delorean person since day 
one of the Delorean Saga.
Hey,there are a LOT of PEOPLE on this List,Including VENDORS that 
bought my parts in the past thru ebay,and all I got was phrase,and 
excellent feedback.All parts I sell are excellent or better.
Granted,I WAS/am doing ground up restorations on these cars,(as 
stated)and he saw them being worked on,I have yet to see a car in the 
process of a ground up restoration, that looks like a showcar....
>From the "few minutes" he was there I got the impression,he was only 
looking to part these cars,(as you CAN TELL IN HIS POST)and CARED 
NOTHING about Deloreans,You know the type ,except to part them,and 
make a fast easy profit,(a bottom fisher), you know the type of 
person I am talking about,sees a flat tire on a car and calls it a 
junker!!
I most assure that these cars are VERY worth it,as these are stored 
cars(indoors)(never stored outdoors) even my parts cars were stored 
indoors, that have No Sun Damage(how do you get sun damage on cars 
that see no sun)No Torn/worn seats ect ect,As for the Orignal 
tires/wheels,they are AS NEW,with (0)cracks or damage,and as plyable 
as when new,as the tyres/wheels,are stored verticle,in a cool dry 
loft,that sees NO sunlight of ANY kind.I gave one tyre to a fellow 
member on this list,and was VERY happy with it.
Any "parts" I have that I sell or selling,are as safe as any new 
part,as I have NO high mileage parts/sun damaged/weather damaged 
parts.
There is simply to much stuff in too many locations to take pics,The 
MOST serious of person WOULD want to SEE in person,if I was a 
interested bidder, I would only bid,AFTER I saw for myself,this is 
NOT the type of auction to bid on, BASED on a "FEW PICTURES". I Do 
not want to post pics,of "My stuff" for ALL to see,I am only 
interested in only showing to the most Serious,and to prove that,they 
can come in person to see what they are bidding on.

If you read my last post,you WILL know that I only deal with/restore 
for the long term realibity,as the car I restored in my last post,was 
restored in 1987,and is STILL being driven Today(SIXTEEN YEARS AGO !!,
(it's now in the U.K.)I will not release that vin number,as that 
person is on this list,but if he wants to comment on my work on that 
car,He has my blessing,as I have nothing to hide.My point in all this 
is that one persons B.S. is just that B.S.That is why I will only 
deal with a person face to face,(when its for bigger bucks)And am 
100% positive that any serious bidder would want the same. So that 
they can,see, feel, touch,what they are getting,and spend the time,to 
check things out. As a Long term DML Member,
I most assure the Deal is a TRUE and Honest Deal.

Best Regards
Claude
