    I knew I had seen it before.

    And coming soon to a BHCC near you - the white one for only $8950

    Was that not the Clamato sponsored car that yellowmxwheels found and bought in 2010 .com days?

    Here it was in 2001

    Instant $14K profit. Not bad at all. I'm definitely in the wrong business.

    I don't know. The car location was listed as being in Baja at the time, and I'm certain it also said something about having off road lights installed as well. Which this car has. The seller also stated that it was intended for off-road competition. Who knows though, perhaps there is more than a single DeLorean with a roll cage.

    Surprisingly there are !!

    The Clamato one and the BHCC one have different roll cages (as well as different everything else)

    Nope, not the Clamato car. The Clamato car had a 4.3L V6 transplanted in it ... not the DeLorean PRV V6.

    When being sold around Y2K, this car had all 4 BBS wheels on it and the PRV had been turbo charged (and spent).
    IIRC, white painted DeLorean was damaged but the engine was OK, which is why the owner bought the white one.

    Both of these "roll bar equipped" DeLoreans happened to be for sale about the same time originally in 2000-2001.

    What ever happened to the Clamato DeLorean? The guy who bought it hasn't been on this forum (or at least hasn't posted anything) since 2015 ....
