Apologies - I thought I'd closed this out. My buyer did complete the transaction, and 5470 now lives in CA!
Thanks again for all the good discussions on here. The quality of information on DMC...
Hi All-
I just delivered my car to the new owner in PA. It was nice to have one final road trip with the car.
My wife followed behind me and called me on the phone at one point saying that it...

Well, an era ends. I found a buyer. We've talked a lot over the past couple days and I'm confident that the sale will complete. I'll post a follow up here when it does.
As promised months ago, underside pics. Sorry, as mentioned, work hasn't afforded me really any free time these days. The front passenger area you can see the rust spot I am having fixed. The repair...
As another data point on the car, I'd listed it at $24k. I had several fellow owners say I was asking too little. I told these people they should buy it and flip it. :) In the end, I thought my...
Hey Paul (and anyone else)
Yep, the car is still for sale. I've been working 60+ hour weeks at work, and will continue to do so until my project completes on 11/8. So I haven't been checking the...
1) I basically said that it is a great conversation starter. What he does with those conversations is up to him. But I also added that most of the people starting conversations happen to be dudes who...
I agree with others that the asking prices to seem a bit high lately, but I try to track eBay sales to see what past examples *sell* for. If you're a year out for your purchase, start making it a...
Selling on ebay is always an interesting experience. I have 2 days left to go, and here are the current stats on my ad.

Well, I would not give up just yet. There are enough common colors that I think if you joined up the ones that are the same (which I have a feeling would be right), you're most of the way there. You...
Also, I've reloaded my OS since this project and didn't bother to save my downloads folder as I didn't need anything in there (project being complete and all). But there is an image of it on the OP. ...
Patrick - I have slightly different pinouts it seems. I'll attach a couple photos.
On the one side I have (reading L to R looking at it): Yel/red, Yel/Blk, Blu/Red, Blu
Flip it over and now (L...
I have some add-on exhaust tips, so I guess that would make mine about an inch longer. ;-)
So let me clarify the mileage, as it's the only thing that's been asked about in a PM.
The odo reads 4772. It's had that reading since 2001.

Hey Sam - thanks for the kind words! For what it's worth, I really admired yours as well. It looked well loved and well used in a way you rarely see Deloreans. It reminded me of a Delorean that James...
I've been putting off writing this post because I don't want to do it. I've kinda of accepted the fact that having a kid is turning out to be a little more expensive than I budgeted, and at a time...
So after several hours of horking around with a late 90''s Honda switch (because IMHO it looked a lot better being square), I decided to go with a Nissan switch that fit the stock opening much...
So I've pulled my speedometer to take some measurements for a GPS upgrade project that I've wanted to do for some time now. I'm not sure if it will ever get done, but I'm going to try. In the...
According to the fine folks at Carlisle events, I was an "import" and was told to park with "the other French cars". I thought it was odd, and perhaps a tip of the hat to the P and the R in PRV. I...
I have been wondering this. I don't see a recirc/fresh switch like on most cars. How do I select if the air comes in from outside, or gets recirculated?
You should see a refund soon. I ordered some of the DMC stickers for my shift knob and after a while I got a refund and a reply saying they were no longer in business. I didn't need to cancel.

My theory, judging by how high it sits off the ground, is that they took the fiberglass body of the Delorean, and dropped it on another frame. Remember, this series was filmed at a time when DMCH did...
Yep. I have a couple of pieces of grey pipe (plastic electrical conduit, I believe) that I put on the door strikers. I have a dymo-tool printout on them that says "Please look but don't touch". I...
