Re: [DML] How many Deloreans?

Kevin,

There have been two sets of numbers tossed around for the Deloreans. The 
first and most widely know number is 8,700 that were produced and sold. The 
first production car was built on Jan 21, 1981. It is vin # BD000500 and we 
saw it last June @ the Crawford car museum in Cleveland, Ohio. The last one 
made was vin DD0020104 on Dec 24, 1982. I believe this is the third 24 karate 
gold "D" that we also saw @ the Crawford Car Museum. This car was privately 
owned but shipped out from the East coast for the June 2000 car show. 
The other set of numbers we have seen in the last year or so is the over 
10,000 figure that includes company and executive cars that were built but 
not initially sold. They were the cars used by DMC management for company 
purposes and as job perks. If 6,000 came to the U.S then about 4,000 would be 
left. The attrition rate for the "D" has been estimated at about 33%.
