[DML] Re: Raffle Car and DCS

["Justin Mettee" <jamettee@xxxxxxxxx>]

More on the Raffle Car (VIN 6704) since I will have held it for 1 week tomorrow.  I got the car from Bernie to help with preparations of the car for the DCS raffle & Ken will be picking it up from me this week to finish the rest of the car preparations.

This is a GOOD driving car.  It's very similar to mine in all ways....manual, stock ride height, unmolested engine/wiring, good frame/body condition, etc.  The frame, as with any DMC that has been driven in event the most arid environments, has a few (and I mean few) blemishes on the frame, but no rot.  The car is a great driver & now runs solid.  In the week I've had it, I've cleaned & detailed both the interior & exterior.  I also went over the engine as it was stumbling on acceleration a bit when I drove it home.  Found a few small things wrong (plug gaps & coil wiring issues), made the fixes, & now the engine runs strong.  Also replaced the original brake master cylinder with a new unit & flushed/bled the brakes.

When Ken takes possession of it from me, he's going to go over it in the final month before DCS.  He's going to address the frame/chassis & beautify the parts that I did not have time to get to in a week's time.

The winner of this car is going to get a very SOLID example of a Delorean & will be able to drive it with confidence.

The Sales Tax on the car will probably have to be paid by DeLorean Car Show this time.  In the past I buy the car pay the tax then give it away.
