Hello everyone,
Inside the engine bay of vin #1184 is some graffiti in the name of John DeLorean (printed). The car was built in April of 1981. The signature is partially behind a hose and appears aged. I don?’t know if this is a fake or if anyone has documentation or photographs of JZD adding his name to any tub or car on the assembly line. Name was written on the tub facing the a/c compressor. The name is cockeyed, as if the person who wrote it was standing at the center of the rear, and then bent over and leaned in from the side. Thanks for any intel anyone can provide.

Doesn't seem consistent with his handwriting, using this document as a reference. I pulled it from entermyworld.com

I think you may be right, there is a slight uplift at the base of the J which doesn't appear on the OP pic.
