Hardcastle & McCormick car

[Dangermouse]

There was a thread on this on the old forum. Isn't there some link to D's ?

Volo Museum just sold off their H&M car for $7k - are there several of these?

Can someone remind us of this car?

Dermot,

The 2nd season of Hardcastle had the CoyoteX changed from a Manta Montage based kit car to a DeLorean with a horribly mounted and grafted kit. Star Brian Keith was having a hard time getting in and out of the Montage car.

Original CoyoteX:

Im still a huge fan of the Manta Montage kits, because they were visualized off of the McLaren M6bgt

When the DeLo version showed up, I stopped watching the show.

I remember the car that you posted on the Ebay auction. It used to sit on the backlot of the Disney MGM studios tram tour. I remember seeing it from a distance, but when I went back a few years later (probably around 1999), the car was gone.

Thanks for the reminder

A guy posted some info on the Delorean Coyote here before the technical problems.
If I remember correctly, it was owned by his uncle who had a small car collection. Sounds like it is unused, basically in storage.
Not sure how many they had on the show, but this one was definitely a Delorean underneath.
He had posted pics of it. Still looked pretty good condition wise (style in my opinion was never good). Black interior 5 speed I believe.

That car is every bit as good as the show was, and I mean that.

I know this is old news, but I found some pictures of Delorean based Coyote:

Looks like the Coyote DeLorean is for sale (http://www.customlimos.com/sale_delorean.htm) if you have $60,000 according to a Limo company in Iowa (http://www.customlimos.com/index.htm).
