That makes Bill Robertson's setup look like a work of art. I would be afraid to touch that mess.

The mesh screen quarter panel glass, silver kryloned radiator hose, and blue tarp louvers are definitely a nice touch. The auction says it's a 1980 DeLorean, so obviously this is a pre-production model. Given the painstaking attention to detail in the maintenance of this car, how could that possibly be a typo? On the driver's door there's also a visible P.J. Grady sticker. I can't wait until he announces pricing for these mods.

Holy hell, am I looking at a wooden intake manifold?

My favorite part is: "No title but over 30 years old so easy to obtain title."

It is, in certain states. I could do it, but it'd take me 6 months MINIMUM.

To answer the question, a MotorCraft 500 CFM.

It has Cadillac seats and a lot of other cool mods ...:hysterical:
$6000.00 including K-Jet pulloffs -- JOSH?

GA titles for any pre-1986 can be had immediately with Bill Of Sale, and any year with Title Bond (where time depends on agent, usually ~15 days if you don't know one, but it's not cheap). It's true that it is only a little more hassle in TN.

Is that for the carb set-up, or the whole car? Where did the price come from?

Having said that, let's stay on topic so we can keep the thread open.

What's everyone talking about? Those carbs came on the 1980 model.

I thought I replied to this???

Anyway,
I'm all but done with my auto and looking for a stick to run around in these mountains, so I called the number.
He said he bought it 'site unseen' and did have a few (until recently, IIRC) -- I assumed it is what was left over (strictly a guess tho ;-)
