DeLorean NATION episode #1. Vin

[@dmctimelord]

Great 1st video guys! Having an early VIN myself, I am fascinated by all the small changes that had taken place before mine was even built! I look forward to more vids!! :)

My personal early DeLorean gave me a soft spot for them.

[@DeLoreanTECH]

This is awesome!

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Thank you Todd!

[@JohnSkyPatterson]

Mike is awesome! Hey Mike.... I’m enjoying my 1982 I got from you last November! Great guy! :)

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Great to hear your enjoying the car.

[@aventure021]

I am very proud to announce that I have owned VIN614 for 11 years in Switzerland ;)

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Awesome! Early cars are my favorite.

[@HELLBAG1]

From the old wiki: Black Automatic. This VIN was on the first shipment to the US. (See Manifest 1, page 6.) The Carrier Ship was the "Continental Highway" and its arrival was listed as 5/14/1981 at the POE of Long Beach, CA. Company Car for V. Capitanio. Chestnut Fleet Rental. Leased from CFR Inc. and returned with sales restrictions without warranty.

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Very cool information. I would if Mr. V. Capitanio is still alive?

[@silverwings11035]

Haha love it Great video Mike!

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Thanks!

[@DeLoreanDestiny]

Good stuff! Do some reviews of some upgraded parts.

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Thanks Rommel. More to come.

Nice video guys keep up good work

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Thank you Simon!

[@JakeBaldino]

love seeing this type of stuff. There's a story behind every car and this is the best way to show it. Consider me subscribed!

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Thank you Jake! I appreciate the support!!

[@andylien3783]

Awesome first video, guys! I learned about the rivets under the rear lower arms - question about that came up recently and no one seemed to know if it's original or not. Apparently it was.

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Suprized I could teach you something new. Glad to hear it!

[@aorton7829]

Loved the walk around. I love learning about all the differences and changes made during production. Great video, hope to see more from you guys! More Technical videos would be awesome! Coverage on common problems and fixes would be great for the community.

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Glad to hear you enjoyed the video and thanks for the feedback!

[@rdm20fan]

Very cool. Make more.

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Thanks Bob!

[@alv599]

This would be a great car for the channel, I'd love to see how y'all approach the restoration on it.

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

I do love me some early Vin's with a story!

[@MasonFowlkesKenneth]

Great vid guys. Would love to see more from this series! Maybe reviewing the differences in the electrical system from early to late VINs?

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Thanks for the feedback Mason!

[@davidjproehl]

Subscribed! Really enjoyed this walk through of an early vin car. Great to see the bolts used on the hood and frame, was not aware of those differences. As awesome as the vin plate is, I can only imagine how bad a reflection that caused. I redyed my dash and repainted my vin plate and even the fresh vin plate paint made mine annoyingly reflective, that plate would be impossible to ignore!

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Appreciate you David. Thanks for sharing and Subscribing.

[@rdm20fan]

Are those leaves OEM? How about videos on the transmissions available.

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Leaves are from 2020.

[@johnkinville]

Well done gentlemen. Can we expect this car to be the star (in future videos) of a full restoration by Midwest?

[@michaelmcelhattan7238]

Thanks John. Good to hear from you!
