I hope you get it Tony. It belongs in the hands of someone like you that will care for and show the car so that we can all enjoy it.

Yes, though keep in mind, it's a small Citroen 4cyl so you're not moving very fast

Thank you to everyone who responded with an interest in purchasing Proto-1 from the Schmucker family. It, along with Pilot-21 have been sold to a buyer who wishes to remain anonymous.
The Schmuckers still have the Nissan powered DeLorean for sale, as well as a veritable mountain of parts. If you need anything, let me know. I can share a list of the parts available to anyone interested.
Best,

Josh, Tony Ierardi from DMCFlorida has admited to purchasing Proto-1 in this thread.
Does your post mean that Tony also bought Pilot-21?
I'd Love to see both of these cars at DMCFlorida at the open house.

George,
We did buy both cars, and I had asked Josh to keep it private until I was ready to announce.
Both cars will be on display at the DMC Florida 10th Anniversary Open House, our plan is to keep Prototype #1 at DMC-FL long term.
It will be on display in the showroom for the foreseeable future, the car is clearly labeled " For Display Only - Not For Sale"
Look forward to seeing you at the event.
Best

Awesome news Tony. Glad it will be preserved, enjoyed, and displayed long term at your facility. Next time I'm in Florida, I'll try and swing by to check it out.

I was really hoping Tony would be able to get it back. I'm so glad this car won't disappear never to be seen again like 502 in New Zealand. I almost feel like Proto 1 belongs in the Smithsonian considering what represents. You could probably say that about a lot of historically significant vehicles though.
