Re: [DML] Found some interesting information

["Murray Fisher" <murrayfw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My car has a build date of October 81 and shows arrival in Long Beach CA and 
trucked to Bothel, WA where it was sold almost exactly a year later, Oct 21, 
1982.  The original receipt has a place for "mileage", but it is blank. 
When I bought it from the original owner it had 3443 miles on it.   It is 
interesting that my number  5962 has a build date the same as 1063.   I know 
that October 81 was the highest production month of all, but that sure is a 
lot of cars in that month!!   When the owner heard the news on his car radio 
re the DeLorean drug arrest, he made a U ball and went right back to this 
dealership and purchased the car......they were "running scared" re future 
sales and he paid $19950 for it. He bought it on a weekend and later that 
weekend he got a call from the dealer saying that if his check bounced 
Monday, he would take the car back as he had sold all five of his DeLoreans 
and should have sold it for a lot more!!  His check didn't bounce!  I 
believe another car purchased the same day at the same place was by  Arnie 
Brandon, Past Pres of PNWDC.

Incidentally, the Seattle Times had headlined the DeLorean drug fiasco and 
had a pix of John cuffed.  They were looking for a recent buyer of a D and 
found THIS one.....took a picture of it with the owner sitting in it in 
front of the dealership......she was a pretty blonde with nice legs!!  The 
two pix hit AP and went round the world.....the owner received clippings 
from Florida to London and you name it.   I have a copy of the newspaper 
article and picture.  I treasure it!!
