Oh you silly New Englanders and your “state inspections.” Come to Michigan, where this is a licensed, registered, daily-driven vehicle:

I don’t understand this philosophy that anything rare and old is valuable. Especially if that thing is rare because the rest of the originals are now in junk yards, rather than because it had a limited production run, or a price high enough that few people could afford it. CP.

Jesus, I’m a scarred individual projecting my horrible experience under the hood of a 144. I take it back!

This one even fits the shape of the car:

Like Don Quixote’s horse Rosinante, which was of such a hue that it made most onlookers nauseated, it would take a rare owner to appreciate this trusty steed fully. You sir are just such an individual. I salute you.

Remember: it looks just like a Mercedes.

It’s ludicrous, but I’d buy it. Rare + manual + green = NP.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

your find is NP all day

no, i really don’t like these and the color is hideous. just no :(

Right! The trick is to find the things today that in the future you can say “ten years ago I picked these up almost for free.” and then retiring on them.

I think it's more the clutch problem based on comments here. That's a issue that's waiting for the new owner. You know the second week someone has his the problems going to turn into catastrophic clutch failure.

Not really, now that you bring it up. The car didn’t fare will in reviews when it was new.

I don’t know. I just voted CP because for $25k there’s a lot of options for damn decent car. I can’t think of anything about the Delorean design that makes it collectible other than being rare at this point.

On paper in stock form there’s not a lot to love, but with with very little effort and money you can have 300 HP, a pretty-well developed chassis based on off the shelf parts, and while it’s never going to be the prettiest girl at the ball, they can look decent:

“The police found your stolen Mustang. Unfortunately it’s been stripped, with the entire front clip removed. We’ll be sending you a check.”

By the way, I just found out these are a thing.

NP!
