I often find myself overwhelmed by all of the variations of this car during its short production run. I thought it might be useful to collect the differences by VIN and then I could make some sort of spreadsheet or simple web form where one could look up a given VIN and see all of the stock differences of that given car.
I've compiled the list below by scanning through the DeLorean Buyer's Guide book, but I know there are a bunch more (like the door handle strap) which others might know. Please feel free to respond in the thread and I'll update this top post with all additional info. After a few weeks I'll see if I can make a handy way to look things up for any VIN input.
PS - sorry for the need to scroll way down to see the table, I am not sure why that is happening!
