Hi!

New to the forum and Deloreans in general. I've wanted one since I was a little kid, and a couple of "Damn, if only I responded faster!"s later and I've got the Delorean bug. Gotta have one!

My friend and I do car restorations -- strip to the frame then rebuild level, not just change the battery and wax the hood. We're both keen to work on a fixer-upper and I'm hoping to find something in the $10 - $20k range. I understand it'll probably be more expensive this way in the long run, but it's also living the dream for me so I want to do it that way :)

We are located in New Hampshire but for the right car/price I'll take one from anywhere and figure out how to move it.

Thanks!

I know of a Delorean for sale in Vermont, it needs work. Call Tabor at 802-433-1592.

I too are in the market too for a project car in the New England area at this price range and I have seen Tabor's car, it will certainly fit with your "restoration" desire. Also call Steve Quinn at Marry Motors in Salisbury, MA. He has VIN 00014 out back that he can't get the title for, but you might be able to work some magic on the RMV.

Another car worth checking out is a twin turbo Delorean is going up for auction at the Greenwich ConcoursO D'Elegance Auction at the end of the month! 1983 DE LOREAN DMC 12 TWIN TURBO TWO-DOOR COUPÉ VIN. SCEDT26T7DD015315 (http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/22717/lot/202/)

PM me if you want to connect :)

I've emailed! I just want to thank everyone on this forum for being so incredibly helpful. I've gotten some great leads -- I've got one I'm very interested in but the deal isn't done yet so more leads are definitely appreciated.

Don't think that VIN's right :hmm:

Is this car so dirty or is it me? I surely wouldn't advertise it like this ...

This one looks a little rough. The underbelly looks a little rusty.

This auction is already up over $11K! And it needs a full resto. Am I missing something? Ha ha...

I bought VIN 2784 :) It's one of the early '81's with the gas flap and the first radio and clock that often breaks. I had to fly down to see it, so it'll be a little while until it's in the same place as me -- gotta get it shipped, etc. But I'm excited!! :D
