Hello,

Im looking for a Delorean to convert into a time machine. So I'm looking for a manual with grey interior. Doesn't have to be in the best shape as the conversion will cover most imperfections just in good running condition. Please let me know.

Thanks
Matt

Well since I missed out on the above sale, I'm still looking to buy!! Please dm me or post here if you have one or know of anyone selling. Doesn't necessarily need to be in San Jose CA, I'm willing to travel. Just looking for one like described or like the above post.

Thanks!

As a suggestion, a lot of the conversions are actually automatic transmission cars with a leather shift boot installed and a 5 speed knob on top of the shaft. If you do the interior with the main switch just behind the shifter its really annoying to try to shift the car with everything in the way.

Talk to Danny at DMCCA for more info, your going to be going to him for some for the time machine parts anyway I'd bet.

That does make sense. If it really bothers me I think I'll just make the switch detachable. I really want to shift and say "let's see if you bastards can do 90" lol

Also do you have a link or a number to Danny?

Thanks!

I tried to contact him on FB but he hasn't posted anything since 2014, anyone have a contact for him?

I did a google search for him but i could find anything. Im not familiar with him, any contact info would be great.

Thanks!

Danny Botkin is at DMC in Huntington Beach. He’s been working on DeLorean for nearly 20 years: https://g.co/kgs/kHCiwy

You can find Don on Facebook freaking out about Jesus and the gays: https://m.facebook.com/don.steger.7

Is this one worth buying? Also how much do you guys think it would take to get all that rust repaired underneath?

Beverly Hills Car Club, despite their fancy name, is notorious for selling trash. That car looks like it was sitting belly deep in salt water or something. Stay far away.

Yeah x2 on Beverly Hills Car club.

I'm surprised they were able to keep the car together on the lift with that much frame rot! It's literally falling apart.

The mind boggles. I honestly cannot believe they're looking for $22.7k for that heap of shit. Run… just keep running as far away as possible from that one. :shock:

Someone will buy it, they always do.
Remember that Peter Big Staff guy(or whatever his name was)? There's always another Peter.
