The way I see it, if you're gonna drive around in a car, why not do it with some style?

I've seen pictures of it before.
Maybe they mean it was painted at JZDs brothers Cadillac dealership,
I'm sure one of the Rich's know the story
Pretty poor photos for a for-sale ad, though

That is DanRC30's car. Which was stripped of it's paint some time ago.
It's a good possibility that it's a painted car from DeLorean Cadillac, but without papers, it has no provenance, and thus it is nothing. Even if it does have all of the paperwork, I seriously doubt that it's worth their asking price. But again, it's whatever someone is willing to pay. Was it custom FOR JZD's brother? I'm more likely to believe it was customized BY his brother at his dealership.
Also, yes, these are horrible pictures. It looks as though someone who doesn't know jack about the internet took some pictures with an expired disposable camera 20 years ago, and then only recently scanned them on too low of a resolution.
It also has one of my pet peeves of seller red flags of, "Never Driven in the Rain". So what? I read that, I feel like what the seller is really saying is, "Leaks like a sieve, but I need an albi to prove that I could never possibly have know that fact."

Is it really the same car?
Nope. That car was stripped about 14 years ago...

Funny, the phone number traces back to a real car repair place in glenside PA.

Robert, are you saying that the Hemmings car isn't DanRC30s car?
The scanned dated photos look very alike...
