just4kickz · 05-12-2007, 11:00 PM

325 Baller · 05-12-2007, 11:42 PM

If only I had the money and space for it ATM. Id love to have that car. Fix it up a little try to get original parts and thatd be an amazing car.

bullitt5897 · 05-13-2007, 01:55 AM

too bad the only reason the car was famous were the fact that the designer and maker of the car was caught with ties into the mafia and was arrested for I think was fraud or something. ohh and the BACK TO THE FUTURE.

hey where did Marty go?

Has anyone seen my wheres Marty book?

LOL Mike

LOLrance · 05-13-2007, 02:11 AM

Take a picture of the flux capacitor

.

I've seen one that was a direct copy of the delorean in Back to the Future. The license plate said "BK N TIME"

Johnny Lin · 05-13-2007, 02:43 AM

That looks real cool!

010101 · 05-13-2007, 02:52 AM

I drove one of these one time. It is obviously pretty dated now. There is nothing too exciting about it other than the way it looks and the way the doors open. It's not very fast or anything. Still, it is a timeless head turner. As far as making money for its builder it was about as successful as the other famous vehicle built in Ireland.

John Delorean was arrested for smuggling drugs...cocaine I believe. Those things look pretty cool but are slugs by todays performance standards.

E90330iS · 05-14-2007, 06:35 PM

Hahaha.

dickster · 05-14-2007, 07:24 PM

My favorite Delorean sighting was during the Monterey car weekend several years ago; a very nice DMC coupe was tooling through the parking lot with a custom license plate: COKECAR.

How appropriate, how sad...John Z. Delorean had an illustrious career at General Motors before going into production on the coupe. He got in over his head financially and apparenty was caught smuggling and/or dealing cocaine to help finance his car company.
