This company offers used, refurbished, and new build Deloreans using original parts. They also offer upgrades for the car, but no flux capacitor for time travel.

The flux capacitor is NLA but you can probably find one on eBay. Mr. Fusion, on the other hand... good luck with that.

Hmmm... so you have to pay $63K to get the 197 horsepower engine. If I had that kind of cash to plunk down on a new car, I'd be ordering a Corvette. DeLoreans look wicked cool, I'll give them that... but the price/performance isn't where I would want it to be.

That is too cool for words.
If I was a rich man, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Zack is right , way cool! 57,500 for a basic one , add 10,000 in options it's still

cheap. As for the lack of the Flux Capacitor , I know someome on this site will

find a way to build them . I will act as the official order taker:


Send your $250.00 to me and I will forward it to you ,( along with clear

installation and use instructions ) . To be at a later date!

Order NOW as we expect the supply to go quickly !!!

I owned one during the '80's for about a year. A buddy needed to divest himself of his worldly possessions during a divorce to look like a pauper and I was willing to help out in this small way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

First of all, total chick magnet. Drove it to a 4th of July fireworks display and as I drove through the parking lot with the gullwing doors open women practically dived in. Second, a rocket through the gears in a straight line on the freeway. That Renault engine will get out of it's own way. Third, heavy and not such a good handling car.

Glad I was into it for a few thousand with a guarantee I would get my money back. Has cult value though.

I watched Modern Marvels last night too. Had to DVR the clip showing Delorean in mid design with the 914 cutaway and a Fiat cutaway on the wall. Too bad the Delorean looks more like the Fiat.

Is that a poster? If so, I am going to need to find it.

I like the engine in the original.

Designed by Renault, Pegout, and Volvo....
No one wanted the motor, no one would put it in a car.
Delorean stepped in and got it for a song.
