Hi all!
A lifelong dream just came true 2 days ago!
I just acquired VIN #4687 - I got a deal that I simply could not refuse.
She's located in Denmark and I plan to give her some love and care - Something that the previous owner wasn't too good about. At least he admitted that! (and also a reason for the good deal). She's running alright, but the alternator died on my way back. It was a bit too interesting getting her started again but with the help from a fresh battery I managed to get her home safe (without AC or lights - but hey, the weather was great for driving!)
I can't even remember for how long I have wished for a Delorean. And now I have one. The reason: My wife died from cancer earlier this year. This is her last gift to me so to speak, because the life-insurance made this possible - She even knew that I was going to name it after her, so... Well, it makes me happy to think about her when I work on the car
It might be a while before she's out running again so here's a picture before she goes on stands: IMG_20210412_204742.jpg
A few more of her in the shop is attached as well..
Lad mig kondolere, og tillykke med bilen.

Welcome! #5483 is one car after mine! I have #5482. Where are you located? I'm in the Dallas, TX area.
Whoah! I can’t believe I missed this post! VIN TWINS!!! Is that a thing? I’m pretty sure it should be a thing. I never thought I’d meet a car that drove off the line IMMEDIATELY BEFORE mine!!! Too awesome!!!
I’m in Madison, Wi. #5483 was purchased from Shepard Chevrolet in Lake Bluff, Illinois in December of 1982 and spent its entire life in Kenosha until I bought it 3 years ago.
My name's Brigham, I go under a few different aliases on the web due to my multiple skills of animation, graphic design, music production; and after years of saving up and thorough lurking, I've finally achieved my dream of owning one of my favorite cars, VIN 05818. Only had her for a few days, and I haven't lessened the grin on my face since.
I'll be around to ask questions about making sure she stays in tip-top shape, and to enjoy the presence of fellow enthusiasts.
