If you watch the "Legends of the Road" episode with DMC Joe, the 
commentator at the end makes a mention of a acqaintence of his in NY 
owned a gold plated DeLorean back in the 1980's. It sounded strange 
when I first heard the comment, as I knew that none of the factory 
authorized cars had never been in NY. But now, after hearing this, it 
all makes sense. Perhaps if you want to track the car down, this 
would be a good starting point.

The list here has also mentioned a 5th gold plated car that was also 
done independantly. Check the archives, and you'll find a story about 
an abandoned one sitting outside of a retail store named, "Unclaimed 
Freight".
