The wing alone is cause to ban the owner from ever desecrating another DeLorean again.

The price no doubt reflects the huge sum of money spent on the car. Unfortunately it often doesn't translate into value resulting in the higher price. If this car is worth this price what is a "perfect" low mileage bone stock Delorean worth? That is the benchmark that other Deloreans would be measured against.

At the risk of sounding fussy or unsubstantiated, the things modified on this car look tacky to me. Not tasteful, tacky. Don't know what it is exactly, as many of the individual things have been done on other cars. But as a package deal all on this car, makes me glad my own car doesn't look like this.

I'm curious what the listing exactly means by crate transmission with a digital shift computer. Is that just fancy for the original 3 speed shit the bed and now there is a new one with a rebuilt governor or is there a special transmission here?

Seems like a nice car but I could do without most of his modifications. To me his $76k price is the equivalent of him saying “ my wife wants me to sell this but I don’t really want to.”

That's exactly what it means. That, and he will enjoy it for years and years and years to come.....

My guess on that is the transmission was not working so they bought an NOS one (not a rebuilt or rebuilding the old one) from DMCH along with a new shift computer.

Is that really a for sale ad? is he really selling his car?

In the "how it works" section "Wild About Cars Garage" say they are a "buyers agent", so have they just cobbled together some pics and a description, added a high price and will cold call the owner if they get an offer?

Notice there is no location mentioned on the ad.

Probably a consignment deal meaning the car is not in the dealer's possession on the lot. The owner still has it. This is his "Don't want to sell it" price but if you give him that money and twist his arm he will let you have the car.

What I can tell you all is that Toby Peterson did all the work on the car including the wing back when he was still with DMC.

As it's already been said this is most likely the "I don't want to sell it price". Just because you dump a ton of money into car doesn't always mean you'll get your money back in a sale.

I would throw the ugly wing away and could live with the rest.

Toby is one the best Delorean mechanics so this car should be pretty reliable.


Just isn't worth 76k....

76 grand i'd personally prefer to go for the putsch racing DeLorean but this? That wing needs to go, why put a DeLorean in the same marquee as a ricer. Different league wait different freaking ball game, jeebus.
