    This is pretty old news, actually, but awesome none the less.

    There's a V8 DeLorean rolling around here in Lino every summer.

    Meh, you can have the original for less than half that price. You can pay ~60K but they haven't fixed the issue of it being under powered.

    Plus the originals are stainless steel as well, so if they were taken care of they are still clean.

    I think you're hitting the Stricklin end of things. Closely related companies as far as owners goes.

    Worn out rubber, rusted hardware, worn interior, window seals, dents, etc. I'd rather have one built from NOS.

    Umm...John Delorian was the guy who helped start the musclecar era. He was the creator of the Pontiac GTO in the mid-60's.

    The story is cool, but I wouldn't spend $50k+ on that thing.
