    I have a C350 in mine and yes, it has a huge radiator, but I love the sound and power from it. One thing I would change is the air cleaner as it almost touches the louvers, either put in a smaller air cleaner or switch out to an EFI throttle body.

    Yeah, but they didn't buy a radiator ... that made me nervous. LOL

    Of course, they ended up not buying that engine, anyway. Seemed like a pointless thing to leave in the show, but maybe he wanted to give his junkyard buddy some publicity.

    I've clicked on the History Channel link. I get it but, I can't watch the episode.
    I've tried All my browsers and the episode won't play....

    Still looks like a ringer to me that was partially disassembled for effect. Compare the amount of dirt around areas such as the front tub, and then look at the interior. Also, take a look at things like the engine cover hinges with the rusted metal where it's been exposed, and the shiny new threads where it would have been covered by nuts.

    Has no one mentioned the fact that neither the original car nor the "parts car" had a flapped hood and the car they delivered did?

    Verified -- you are correct. It looks like they took the doors and hood off of a ringer just for the show.

    Hey all, don't mean to bump this old-ass thread, but I now own this car (at least the VIN that the "purple" car had that went through hurricane Sandy). I indeed bought it from Chad Krause this last January. He said the car has about 4 or 5 DeLoreans worth of parts on it. I believe only a few things from that particular car survived to be resurrected on this car, including the wheels and a few odds and ends. The car originally had a black interior, but he happened to have a decent grey interior laying around so that's what was installed. I just went through the entire cooling system on it (the water pump was horribly rusted and corroded) and finally am able to drive the car around town. It's got a terrible shake at 45+ mph. Hopefully getting all-new tires installed today.
