If I had more than one Delorean I would have a early flap hood Delorean and a later build Delorean. One auto, one manual

What would you have?

If I had 2 Deloreans, one of them would be a time machine.

I have way too many Deloreans and wish that I only had one again! These things rot when they sit unused!

I'll take one off your hands dude. 10 bucks?

I'd buy the one down the road from me, VIN 5253. It's just sitting in a private showroom, but in great, original condition. Body work, interior, all aesthetics are excellent, mostly rust-free, it just needs the usual overhaul, replacements, and recalls to get it on the road again. The guy who has it is the original owner and just keeps it around as a collector's item, I want to revive it.

Plus, that car is only 8 cars back from the BTTF A car VIN and was probably made the same day, so that would satisfy the fanboy in me.

Hey now, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I'd just like to get ONE Delorean!


But if I had a chance to get 2 I would have a manual and auto, one with a black interior and one with a grey interior. Yup... that would be nice.

I've always wanted the Gold Delorean with the black interior. Maybe the Peterson's Auto Museum will have an auction some day.
No telling what it would sell for though. I'd also like one of the pilot Deloreans with the windows that move to the side instead of up and down.

I've got the only D I want. If I had a second I'd make Chris a deal on it ;)

Another Delorean would a early vin with gas flap hood and wide side stripe.
Interior would be the same color of proto 1.
Just another dream :biggrin:

That was my train of thought. In reality, when you increase the number of DeLoreans you own, your walled drains at an exponentially-increasing rate.

I think I'd get a painted one just for fun.

I would disassemble it and keep all of the good parts in storage to keep my first one running.

I might hook Sean up with the frame if I'm feeling exceptionally generous. :D

After having a painted one, my experience was that it's worse than a regular car. You not only get the same BTTF jokes, but the constant question of "Why did you paint your DeLorean?" as well.

...and you'd have a DeLorean with shit all over it.

I have an early car with gas flap, black interior, dark gray wheels, windshield antenna, and five speed. If I had a second Delorean I would get another one with the same combination except I want one with an automatic.

I find it amazing just how many people own two or more. As the saying goes, "more money, more problems"......well it applies to multiple DeLorean ownership as well. I'm still crazy enough to consider another one, but it might put a serious strain on my marriage.

I have 2!

One manual, gas flap hood, daily driver
One auto, grooved hood, poorly time machined.

So…I guess that's what I'd have if I had two [which I do]

I would drive one and keep the other one as a garage queen to sell when I need to make a down payment on a house or other major purchase.

I would want a 'perfect' concours quality car, maybe an '82, that I would never drive, but just look at.

Same here. And I'd rape the sh*t out of that time machine car. Drill holes into it EVERYWHERE. And install a device that if anyone tried to reverse it back to a stock car, it would explode. Or if Chad came near it.....

What would you have?

An emptier bank account, and an addiction to Advil, Aspirin, etc...

My buddy in Jacksonville has 2 Deloreans:

A 1982 with the Island Turbo kit, 5 speed, grey interior.

and a 1981 Concours car, restored with NOS parts, and still wearing NCT radials. Flap hood, black interior, 5 speed.

Not a bad selection, and a 1962 Corvette Fuelie to top it off!!:race:

I don't get you BTTF fanboys and your desire to destroy perfectly good cars to make them into garbage. It makes me think about selling off my cars and never looking back on the hobby.

Mike C.
05-05-2012, 07:28 AM
I'm going to buy 3, build 3 REALLY bad bttf replicas using household appliances, just to make Chad cringe :)

What a tuff blow that would be to the collector car world...You will be missed.

If you do decide to sell, let me know as your automatic Delorean would be a great starting point for my BTTF car.

Ya' know, I don't know what I would do with 2 D's. But if I had FOUR, then we're talking!
1. Daily Driver
2. BTTF I version
3. BTTF II version
4. BTTF III version

:thumbup2:

Sure, now I noticed Mike posted the idea before me... Fine, make it FIVE Deloreans. 1 driver, 3 BTTF, and Rich's convertible.


Wait, make it SIX! 1 Daily driver, 3 BTTF, 1 convertible, and Will.I.Am's Delorean so I have a car I can putz on to return back to stock. :cool:

Realistically if I could have more then one, the second would be 530. 502 is totally out of the question but 530 isn't and it's just sitting there waiting for someone with the cash and enthusiasm to put it back together again.....kind of like Humpty Dumpty.

All kidding aside Proto 1, any of the Pre production cars, 502, or 530 is where I'm at.

I think I'd also make a BTTF car... But I'd make the whoooole thing HOT PINK!!

Use the 2nd to re-create the original 40 mph crash-test video, throw a pile of BTTF props on the wreck, douse it in kerosene, light it up and dance around it.

Dracula

I'd personally see that my cars are shredded to a pulp before I'd ever allow one to become a BTTF car.

On the note of ridiculous purchases that has become this thread, I'd buy the screen-used BTTF cars and restore them to stock and incinerate every prop removed in the process.

Do you plan on destroying the vin tags as well? I know of a company that would be interested in building a new car with those tags.
