A torrent is out there if you know where to look. I can't wait to see it!

It'll be on again in a half hour (10:30 CST) according to my channel guide. I've already got it on my DVR for repeat viewings.
Apparently here is the place that bought the car in Chicago:

I wonder what the consignment fee was to sell the car? The gallery 63 website states 35%. At that rate that's a pretty big hit to the checkbook if it really took 60K to build it.

Sometime back in April or May I think. I remember on the old DMCTalk.com videobob was ranting and raving for weeks about how he was confident it would sell it for over 100k.

Just caught the last 5 mins of the show but saw the car being auctioned. Was there a part earlier in the show where they talk more about the car and/or vb. If so, I'll try and catch it later in the week.
The Auction was in April as it was the day I got back into ATL from vacation otherwise I would have gone over to watch it.

I don't always drive cars, but when I do, I prefer DeLoreans

Here's a link to the episode,
http://youtu.be/0dXi6Gu96tE
The auction was at Gallery 63 in Atlanta on April 10th 2011.
They actually paid me my reserve of $60K.
The buyer paid 15% premium and I paid 10% seller's fee.
I bought the Delorean for $15K, put about $15K into it.
So I didn't lose money, but it should have fetched twice as much.
They didn't do a good job of getting bidders.
The winner was actually someone I was already in talks with and I brought
him to the auction and he won by phone.
I had several other bidders who claimed they couldn't get the Gallery on the phone!
Similar replicas have sold for $95K and more.
This was the first one with the real NEON on it, I know that another builder has
since built one just like it and got over $100K for it.
This was my 6th Time Machine, I am just finishing up my 8th replica now.
I expect to get a lot of calls after this airs a few times.
They will be replaying it all month.
Thanks!!

I just watched the torrent before seeing you had a youtube link up. What a bummer, but hindsight is hindsight.
30k -> 55k is still a whopping 25k difference. But the time that goes into building one must be astronomical in shop-hour rates. And I don't know if you do anything else besides your movie car business. 60k really seems like a bargain for a car that so much work has gone into.
