I have recently received a hard copy of the July '77 Road and Track that showcases the DeLorean prototype. An internet version of it can be found at

https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a24392/the-delorean-car-july-1977/

However, there is a lot of content that is not represented here including other side articles, some different photos, illustrations, etc. that many of you may find interesting. I would love to scan the pages and upload them, but I don't want any type of legal issues if I were to.

Anyone have any insight on what I should do in order to safely share this original copy?

Generally you do not violate copyright laws if you make a copy and use it only for your own personal use. If you use it for profit or make it publicly available you can get into trouble.

Check my site, all articles on there. Haven't received one complaint from any publication in 20 years. I do not profit off of the site, merely an archival resource for DeLorean fans:

Nice, you do have the article I was speaking of and a lot more for me to read on my spare time, thanks

I have just looked at Tamir's website and the July 1977 Road & Track is there complete with 6 full pages. Take a look for yourself...
