Does this look like a former DeLorean to you?

[Dangermouse]

Supposedly the remains of 05123 on iaai, presumably from the CA fires

Doesn't look wide enough.

[Jonathan]

Round headlights? Doesn't look DeLoreanish to me.

We've seen enough burned DeLoreans to know what they look like. Maybe someone tried their hand at insurance fraud? All it takes is buying a set of VIN plates since there are no other matching numbers on the car.

I agree (not a D). Those look like round headlights, and if those are the headlights then the engine is in the wrong place too. Would help if there were more pictures.

[Michael]

Looks like a metal front bumper, engine remnants under hood, way to much metal on the top of the fender adjacent to the hood line, at the rear it looks like a metal door jamb, and the list goes on.

I'm going to guess an old Fiat or Lancia

that front bumper has the same shape my 73 Opel Manta had...lol

[skill]

Is that a body bag?

[jackb]

Let's not forget the engine is on the wrong half of the car...

I agree with Dangermouse. Looks like a mustang too me.

I think the nose is too pointed for a mustang, plus judging by the size of the headlights, its narrower than a mustang.

I did an image search of mustangs with 4 round headlights. It’s not a mustang. The spacing between the headlight locations is to narrow. But the quad round headlights would indicate its an older car.

4 round head lights ? it could be a older Mercedes.

Good catch.

I tried browsing to the URL with the number in the picture, but it says there is no vehicle matching it on their site.

We need a volunteer in Santa Rosa to go along and find the real D wreck and presumably whatever code is on it, is for this none and vice versa

[Bob635]

Given the vin specificity, I would more suspect that the insurance company got the pictures mixed up. With all the other fire related car loses, mixing up the pictures would be likely.

I'll have 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV for $200, Bob
