Am I the only one who thinks that the Delorean is a really shitty car?

It's shit, but the movie made it into a fad.

If it didn't look the way it looks it would have nothing. But it looks kind of nice and occupies a niche in nostalgia.

Wow that is surprising. I've seen photos of DeLoreans in junkyards but never so fully intact. It would be great if that car could be bought as a whole and properly parted out. Junkyards are very hard on cars. A lot of parts are removed at the expense of other parts, using saws-alls, prybars, sledgehammers, etc.
EDIT: In case anyone is interested, the location was posted.
Its at: Hamilton's Corner Garage, on Gordon Street, in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

Official Delorean Owners Canada has been aware of this car for some time. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do.

Hi guys,
As my business is located in Guelph, I was alerted to this car when it arrived at their shop. Needless to say, I went to see it immediately, and offered to help get it on the road again / purchase it.
It was brought to them by the original owners to get it running again, and I have been giving the shop owner some tips (like not leaving it outside), and he said he'll be working on the fuel system over the winter. Hamilton's is a Volvo specialty shop, and apparently the owners looked them up based on the engine.
The car is in decent shape, low mileage, with a couple bits of minor body damage. It is not a parts car, just a car sitting in the wrong place, being repaired as they have time...
I'll be continuing to work with them on this, but the owners told the shop they weren't looking to sell until it is running as they have a "higher" number in mind for a price...
They were all hoping to have the car be unnoticed, but as I mentioned to them, it will attract attention.
Please PM me for me more details, thanks,

There was an update:
"Hi there all! This is Hamilton's Corner Garage here, the place that is holding this DeLorean you are talking about, for a customer of ours. We'd like to clear some things up for you. We are a business that has been around & dealing with Volvo's since 1946 and our customers know exactly where & how we keep our cars, if they have specific conditions they want their car to be in we will be more then happy to accommodate their needs. Where and how this car sits and how it is dealt with is up to the owner. The many Volvo's on our lot may appear to be just junk but rest assured they are not! We ship Volvo parts all over North America & Europe. As mentioned in this forum, Volvo owners are cult like & like to keep their old cars running. We operate as a Volvo garage that buys, sells and fixes used cars. We are happy to answer questions anyone may have, whether it be about our large inventory of NOS parts or just a chat about your Volvo. "
