Wow, thanks, guys. I had no idea. I'll be sure to post any others I find just to be on the safe side.

I have seen that one already. But besides that fact that's its above my price range, the opinion on this board after your post seems to be that this car is a money pit. The last thing I need is to pay $19K for a $16K black hole.
Thanks for the help though! Be sure to let me know if you run across anything else. I've still got my eyes peeled (which sound really painful BTW).

Yep. However, if you go to the official site selling these cars (www.gulfcoastmotorworks.com), you'll see that they're wanting around 40K each for those cars. Talk about WAAAAAY out of my price range.
They're really nice cars though

Ah, I see, my bad. So I guess if the bids don't go as high as they want them to, they just don't sell the car??Yep.

Exactly. That's why they have a "reserve" price set. As long as the bids don't hit that (it's most likely the minimum they will take for the cars) the cars don't sell. Though to be fair there is no reason for them to start the auctions on those cars so low as they never intend to sell them for so little.

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

I honestly didn't know until I looked at one of the pictures included in the ebay ad and noticed the signs are next to each other on the building

Hey All!
Just wanted to let you guys know that I both found and purchased my DeLorean
As you can see from under my name, its VIN 781. Gas flap hood, black interior, auto and in need of some TLC and restoration. I'd just like to thank everyone on here for all the help and information and I look forward to sharing some pictures and stories soon. I'll certainly be around but I believe this thread has served its purpose.
Thanks again so much!
