Hello,
I'm 24 from Minnesota, and have a great affinity for cars that were unique, and ahead of their time. My collection includes a '66 Oldsmobile Toronado, an '86 Pontiac Fiero, a pair of 80's El Camino's.... and a '61 Willy's CJ5 that was free when I bought my house :P I do all my own maintenence, I have my Olds 425 apart at the moment to replace a failed lifter.
The last car I really want to add, is a DeLorean. Over the last day or two, I've become obsessed with researching and learning what I could about the car... and I find there's something of a lack of specific technical information out there... Which I guess brings me here :D
I was always told DeLoreans were under-powered because all the stainless steel weighed them down... Only to find out there's very little steel in them at all, they're actually very light, and they're built like my Fiero... but in reverse. Neat. Also always thought they were a mid-engine, a little disapointed to find they're a rear-engine.
Anywho, that's where I'm at for the moment, I'll be posting around, finding out how feasible it is to do what I'd like to do with one, and weather I can afford it. Hopefully, I'll be able to find one too!
Thanks,
Richard
