While at GM, he created what some consider the first "muscle car" in 1964 by cramming a V-8 engine into a Pontiac Tempest and calling it the GTO. ![](http://popularhotrodding.com/features/0310phr_gto03_z.jpg)
A beautiful creation. .....from '65.

He had some fun for a while, then too much fun for a while. Could say he died young without accomplishing anything even though he was an active child and 80 isn't all that young.

One of my childhood heroes. I remember being seven years old and seeing Delorean on TV talking about his new models. He really seemed like a really cool guy and I loved the side hatch doors. He made the rather unsexy automobile industry (which my father worked in) look cool.
A few months later, he was on TV snorting coke.
