Grand National Powered DeLorean (Buick 3.8L Turbo V6, non-intercooled)
It's been almost a decade since my Grand National Powered DeLorean made it's TV debut on Monster Garage, Monster Nation in the Summer of 2004,
and it has been a few years since it had it's own thread, so with all the recent discussion (and eBay auctions) about Buick Turbo V6 powered DMC's,
this seemed like a good time to re-start this thread in my DeLorean Projects section. I will see if I can dig through my photo archives to find more
photos, from years ago, but I will start by posting several photos of when the car was last seen at a DCSevent, which would be DCS 2008.

The first photo was taken as the engine refurb was being completed in Spring 2008. The next was on the trailer, ready to head out to DCS 2008.
The last two photos were taken at the indoor Car Show display at DCS 2008. IIRC, VideoBob got some video footage of me driving it at DCS 2008.

Back in Time ... to pre-DCS 2004
All cleaned up and nowhere to go...that was the story for the Grand National Powered DeLorean for DCS 2004.
Parked next to the DCS 2004 Raffle Car, the GN D was already to go, until I blew a few trailer tires with D Rex.
Since I also had the GT40 Rock Crawler and the BTTF Prop Car Replica going to DCS 2004, I either ran out of
time, ran out of trailer space or ran out of extra drivers, since the DCS Raffle Car 'NEEDED' to go to DCS 2004.
Note: What started as an "auto-correct" error that stuck with me, so now I always use Waffle instead of Raffle
when referring to the DCS Raffle Car, so enjoy a few more photos of the GN D with the DCS 2004 Waffle Car.

(Dave Swingle and I were doing some finishing work on the Waffle Car, which is why it was in the Chicago area)

Back in Time - the Grand National DeLorean at World of Wheels 2004
The 10th Anniversary of the Grand National DeLorean's debut at the Chicago World of Wheels was this past weekend.
The Grand National DeLorean was displayed with the Monster Garage GT40 Rock Crawler, in a "Backyard Monsters" themed display.
The Grand National DeLorean took First Place in it's class, while the GT40RC took 2nd Place, behind a "six-figure" Custom 4x4.
