"Mechanically sound." Yeah, but probably not functional with that Cold Start Valve being left unplugged. I wonder if perhaps they just meant, "Yeah, it's mechanical, and it makes some sounds when you try to make it work..."
Then there is that chassis...

With BHCC, I always read "mechanically sound" to mean "all parts present and correct". None of their ads say "drives great", etc. mainly because most of them don't.

No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

Oh, and I think there is a little more room on the outside of the rear wheels to fit some more balancing weights. Doesn't look like they quite got enough on there to go all the way around.
Don't know how much I would want my name on previous parts orders getting posted online with the ad, but that's just me maybe.
...did automatics come with the "clutch fluid sticker" above the rubber cover next to the gas cap? I'd have thought the factory would have not stuck those on for auto trans cars.

Beverley Hills Car Club is notorious for having clunkers, but this one seems ok. Not perfect, but ok.

While I really dislike painted DeLoreans, I have an odd affinity for red ones. I guess I just like the way red really makes the lines of the car pop, and emphasizes the sporty styling. However, I can't say I'm a fan of that particular hue of red- it's stereotypical spray paint red.

This one started out as a white DMC and the paint was stripped off half way through. What a mess!!

Wow, that one is pretty rough!
I noticed the BHCC never seem to want to reveal the VINs of DeLoreans they sell. I noticed because I always try to record the painted ones. Now, there is a red one and a white one that I am missing because I can't identify them by VIN.
