VIN 5575 has been found!!

[Chris Burns]

This is the actual Delorean I sat in nearly 30 years ago as a small child and began my obsession with Deloreans. These pics are the first pics I've seen of it in nearly 3 decades. I have been in contact with the new owner. I'll direct him here if he needs any tech help. This is a very special Delorean to me. I remember the owner showing me how to clean the car at age 11!! She is located in Beckley WV, originally sold in Roanoke VA.

I’d also love to track down the first one I saw in 1988 in Lansing, MI. I didn’t know about VINs then, so there’s no real way to figure it out. Every other detail of that day is tattooed in my mind.

I remember the first one I saw in person. Even got to drive it. Never gave one flying $%^& about what ever became of it though.

I'm not sure how many cars were sold in Lansing, but I believe it was more than a few. However my car (gray, manual) was sold there so there is a small chance it was mine, and I have documentation placing the car there at that time.
The owner at the time is now likely in his 80s. PM me, and we can try to corroborate details.

Just to answer the question of number of DeLoreans sold in Lansing, MI, records show the number is 54 (http://www.citizenkidd.com/dmc/pages/vinview_totals_spec.aspx?vinstart=256).
Could be the one BladeBronson is looking for is one of those listed.
