Hi everyone, my name is Jim and I wanted to introduce myself to the community here. I'm sure I'll be needing your expertise over the coming months
I just purchased VIN 03015...aka "The World's Fastest DeLorean". It's actually on a transporter as we speak and it should be delivered in the next 48 hours. I flew to view and test drive the car, and after giving it a good shake down I decided that at the right price, it was actually a good restoration candidate. It's definitely has some rough areas and some "interesting" history, but nonetheless it's a really unique car that I'm happy to have in my collection.
My goal is to return it to it's original Gale Banks glory (I'm 90% confident that this was the Gale Banks car based on registration and insurance history). It's had some odd changes made to it since it had the original engine swap in 1988, but most of it should be reversible. The car ran surprisingly well when I test drove it. Yes, the clutch is terrible, but it's not as bad as the open-wheel Formula car that I once owned. The engine is making significant power....when it's not cutting out due to faulty RPM sensors
I'll be sure to keep you all up to date on my build, wish me luck!
