Back to the Future for real.

Missing a flux capacitor. That’s really going to reduce its value. /s

> It’s been sitting for nearly two decades

Are you sure about that? Or did it just arrive?

[Delta 21]

I would drive that to work everyday.

DeLorean cars are modified Datsuns.

I have a friend who bought a DeLorean for an investment and has it in his garage, covered and taken care of.

Really cool car, but my ‘86 Shelby Charger is nearly 400lbs lighter, has almost 20 more HP (HP was a rare thing in the 80s), and is nearly as rare. It’ll smoke that stainless steel hot rod! ;-P

It’ll never be worth as much as that DeLorean, though!

Yes and no Mr. Fusion that’s sad

[BigFreakinToad]

Holy crap, that would be like finding a pristine Action Comic #1

My cousin worked for DeLorean as a test driver to pay for college. He said they were fun to drive.

DeLoreans are GWs (gutless wonders) like many cars from that era. It was hard-pressed to hit 88 mph.

Or a Stradivarius at a thrift store....................

My dad worked on 2 of those- a pair 9f brothers owned them. After school, I’d go to my dads garage and sit which ever of the DeLoreans was at the shop at the time and dream lol.

THANKS FOR THAT!.......................

Up watching bad TV...A line from “Barnaby Jones” about a spendthrift rock star...”He just gave a $24,000 Maserati to a DJ.”
