This one-of-a-kind Delorean was built in ’82–83 for its original owner, Skip Hess, the founder of BMX Products, the Motomag Wheel and Mongoose Bicycles.
Gary Hall, who owned Hall Pantera in Los Angeles and Fat Jack Robinson formed a partnership called Ultra Cars and Components, they hired Kenny Youngblood as their graphic designer. Hess had it shipped to them from the dealership for the tires, rims, paint, and engine upgrades
Hess sold it at auction in 1986, and it remained in the hands of a collector until 2017 when it was listed on Ebay, but didn't sell, and the current owner made a deal with the seller

I just found what I think are hand drawn and colored original sketches of a DeLorean by Kenny youngblood! They have been in a closet rolled into a mailing tube since 1985.
