I'm selling my Delorean!!!

[bigoak]

It's true, the accident has me pretty messed up. I am working on fixing my neon and still mending my wounds. I've been getting incredible headaches possibly as a result of the accident. Long story short, I may have bleeding in my brain and worse case senario, brain surgery. However, we'll have to wait and see..

Oh man...that does not sound fun / good. Make sure you take care of yourself.

Anyway, yes we are moving. Jason and I are moving in together and we're so excited! And I'm glad to see Sylvia move on.

And yes, Kharma is safe. I have Kharma and Nitro tattoed on my body so they aren't going anywhere...ever.

Sorry it's been so long and it's great talking to you guys again.

Oh well, Jason's gain is our loss. Congratulations. Too bad you need to divest some of the vehicles. Glad to hear Kharma is safe and sound. Very good to hear from you again.

Take care.

I would be a bidder, but, just don't have the extra cash right now. Good luck with the sale and it's a shame to see you sell her. Very neat and unique car. Something like this is definitely something I'd love to have in my garage -- especially knowing how you've taken care of her.

Also, hasn't there been talk about a new DeLorean being released?

I found this on the delorean motor car website regarding future plans for the dolorean. It would be interesting to see what actually happens, though.

"DMC Houston has hit the news, and the DMC Newslist, with reports that they are producing "new" DeLoreans. The news report (AP) that I read said that they would use a new stainless frame, lighter fiberglass, and the Stage 2 (or 3!) engine and the warehouse of NOS parts to produce a "new" DeLorean. The $57,500 base price tag is a bit more than their old base price ($42,500) for a "restored" DeLorean. Some of that difference is the stainless frame. DMCH "restored" DeLoreans do not appear to be available anymore!

The Final Chapter

The Discovery channel aired a show this afternoon on Delorean's history. At the conclusion of the show, the commentator mentioned that John Delorean was currently designing a new, plastic car. If I heard correctly, base price would be in the 20K range. Have you heard anything about this?

With the passing of John DeLorean (2005), I think that the final chapter of that "new" DeLorean has been closed.

The DeLorean Motor Club of Canada has some news releases from the mid-1980's about John's plans to build another car, but nothing recent. The last update on that page is 1997.

For some time, deloreantime.com had an order form for a DMC2 watch and a series of videos from an interview with John DeLorean himself. According to these videos, the car's concept was to have an outstanding power-to-weight ratio due to it's very light weight composite structure, and to sell at a target price of about $30,000. The site also had more information (and pictures) of the watch.

The deloreantime.com site is now (8/07) history.

At one time there was also a listing for DeLoreanLLC.com registered to John DeLorean with the same Nanuet, NY address as deloreantime.com! DeLoreanLLC.com has disappeared."

Every few years there is talk of De Lorean starting up again, and someone releasing the successor to the DMC-12. It gets a few headlines, some interesting renderings or sketches are published and then you don't hear about it again for a few years.

I wouldn't put money on a DMC revival.

That's a great looking example btw, shame you've gotta lose her.

It's not a shame, I'm glad. She left today. I couldn't be happier!

Congrats on the sale of your DMC. Looks like you raked in a respectable amount for the car. Well done!
