Holy crap! I have seen this car before then! Pretty sure that I talked briefly with the owner a long time ago when I was in Apex and ran in to him in Cary. . .small world.Originally Posted by louielouie2000

Awesome! I hope you keep those dark grey wheels & center caps!On a side note, it is a shame that 781 couldn't make it to the line up (we were preoccupied in the garage with Josh). I'd have liked to seen a red spot in the sea of stainless
You know, I might just take y'all up on that. My folks still live out by Lake Tillery, and I have to visit them at some point. Might as well see some DeLorean folk when I venture into that neck of the woods again, too!

Louie, I'd be offended if you came to NC and didn't let me know about it! I know you'd have family time, and that is understandable. But how about some time for your "oldest" DeLorean friend! Keep in touch buddy, and welcome back again to being active in the community!

I wouldn't dream of losing them! Out of curiosity, what was the owner asking for it back in '03?Awesome! I hope you keep those dark grey wheels & center caps!
It would appear so. Any idea what year that was/if he was selling back then? I ask because I can't figure out why it would have taken him this long to get it sold. From my experience it's been the perfect restoration candidate and real gem.
When this baby hits 88 miles per hour...your going over the speed limit.

I *think* he was asking $11k, but that's been a long time ago now. Not to mention that between previously owning 2 different DeLoreans myself, and being in the community since the late '90s, I've gone to look at countless DeLoreans over the years. Anyway- back then, the car really wasn't worth what he was asking for it. If I had the time to restore the car back then, I would have haggled with him & probably would have found a price we could both agree on. From what I recall, the car had mainly cosmetic issues & would be a pretty straightforward restoration. I'm glad the car found it's way to you, it is a neat example & it sounds like you are the right steward for it.
