Who wants this Delorean Hovercraft I made?

[neednoroads]

A few years ago I built a hovercraft to look exactly like a Delorean, and now I'm auctioning it on BringATrailer (auction ends monday). If you've always wanted to own a boat, but don't like driving non-Delorean motor vehicles, now's your chance! Feel free to ask me any questions!

Havent you been trying to sell this for a while, at the price of a running driving delorean?

Seems like a hard sell.

Saw it on the BAT daily emails. Really cool build, hope you get the price you are looking for.

Yeah, I tried to sell it last year, buy my eBay bidder flaked. It's been hard to find the right price for something that's never been sold before, so now I'm auctioning it and we'll let the market decide!

Do you happen to have a way to get it to NYS? Asking just in case you're coincidentally travelling this way...

Also, the listing shows it comes with its own trailer. So it's really just "Bring a vehicle that can tow a trailer."

^LOL!

...currently, I'd have to say it's, "Bring $6,667."

Seriously you built this thing from scratch, enjoyed it for years, met celebrities and got worldwide attention and after all that, walk away with close to 7k(minimum). I'd say that deserves a thumbs up!

[Rich_NYS]

I'd buy it if I could get it to NYS.

Crazy bidding war at the end. Went from 22,500 to over 40K in less than a half hour.

SOLD for $44,088

[Rich_NYS]

Wow, congrats to the seller!

The 25k rule for DeLorean hovercrafts is outdated.

[Nicholas R]

Shoot; $45k?!! DMCH should be trying to build hovercraft DeLoreans instead of "new" DeLoreans!

[Josh]

wow , I was wayyy of.

I know I'm super late to the party, but here's a picture I got in June. It would drive past my office and pull up on the boat ramp. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191126/d64107f29f91c84ff5cd94bb46648792.jpg

Nice ramp photo there.

In the spirit of sharing some of this machine's SF Bay-side vibe here's a photo of it at the top of the same ramp in October, 2017. It had its doors off and I think this was before the 'tires' had been added. Matt and a buddy are seen getting it ready for a spin on the bay accompanied by a drone.

He asked for a local D to be there for comparison that day. We couldn't resist.
