I'd like to think this is the one that was outside of the ride @ universal but I doubt it...

Great Scott!

Man I love that car.

There is a small factory just outside of Houston, TX that makes replicas and repairs and restores the original ones: http://www.delorean.com

They also sub some work out to a shop in Arlington, TX.

We have called AutoZone before and asked for a flux capacitor for a GMC DElorean. THe guy just laughed but we stayed serious and asked where we could get one.

RogueYaris · 07-03-2007, 05:34 PM

It's all about the lines, bro... I love the way it looks. And the gullwing doors are just too cool for words.
It looks like something out of a Syd Mead illustration:

you've seen back to the future right? one of the three? thats the car from it...the movies made it an iconic car....

if you saw it on the highway was it on a car hauler? might've been the same one....

stuffy · 07-04-2007, 12:59 PM

my neighbour at my old place had a delorean sitting in his driveway for years, must not have been road-worthy because it just sat there (NOT collecting rust :) )

i've since checked to see if it was still there, but it was gone.

marcus · 07-04-2007, 01:25 PM

Dejavu...I feLT liKe im BAck From the fuTURE...HEHEHE HEY ATLEAST THAT THE ONLY CAR BODY MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL..OR IS IT ALUMINUM.. I KNOW IT DONT RUST..BUT DANG ITS HEAVY!!

stuffy · 07-04-2007, 02:42 PM

Walter · 07-04-2007, 02:51 PM

My neighbor has one in his driveway with flat tires, hasnt moved since I got here...

A waste...

ECHOKnight2000 · 07-04-2007, 03:07 PM

I don't know about the replica's but I do know or read that the originals even when "improved" weren't that great. Don't get me wrong I like the Deloren as well but function wise, not that friendly as a daily driver...it wasn't effecient, also it doesn't have that great of a track record as far as reliability, and it lacked enough power for its weight but it was still a good car and very unique.

marcus · 07-04-2007, 03:19 PM

you have to add the FLUX CAPACITOR on it then ull travel faster than the speed of light!!!

stuffy · 07-04-2007, 03:26 PM

apparently for the n.american market, the engine only produced about 140 hp.

it looks a bit dated now, but the car is still beautiful.

punch · 07-04-2007, 04:53 PM

yes back in the day it had potential, but mr. delorean spent to much money buying and selling coke...imagine what we could have now if delorean was still around...
