I think that one is worth much more now than it was when it was new.

There's no such thing as a rust-free one. They only come with rust.

DeLoreans are in fact not rare at all...

www.usadmc.com

You can buy one refurbished along with all the parts for them. You can also buy a Stage 1 kit that puts the horsepower up to about 190 instead of the stock 130.

[Edit - I thought they went for about 75k new? Shot in the dark...]

If that list isn't far out enough, I don't know what is !
I've been thinking about transplanting an EG33 in to the back of a Corvair convertible ('65 or newer) for a long time. Nice power bump and convertibles are

I've alwas loved the Avanti. Still drool over them when I see one. I prefer the '63/early '64 with the round headlights and 4 speed.

My dad has a 55 Stude Speedster, PRESIDENT edition. Aluminum engine turned dash, leather, and lotsa stainless bits. Neat car. Low. Long. Narrow. Cooler looking than the avanti in my opinion.

Speaking of which, Ian Fleming's car of choice was the avanti, NOT the aston martin. He drove one for years.

Bricklin? Ugh, those things are ugly. Looks kinda like someone tried to put a fire out on a '70's Vette with a chainsaw, then took a $h!t on it. Plus, he's the guy responsible for unleashing the Yugo on the US, as well as the upcoming ZMW.

As much of an idiot this Bricklin guy is, every person on this website should respect him. The only smart thing he's ever done was introducing the Subaru to the US in '69.

As for a weird car I'd like to own, it'd be a black/gold '84 MSE Trans Am. They were built in AZ by Mecham Racing from '82-'84, the same guys that built the '70's Macho T/A. They had 405hp V8's, custom Talon suspension, and plexiglass t-tops, because the glass ones in the prototypes shattered in hard corners. The weird part is that this also my favorite body style of T/A, even though it is commonly the most looked down upon by F-Body enthusiasts.

i like two french cars of the 30's, DELANGE and DELAHAE (all right, so i can't spell, kill me). after just selling my 86 aston martin lagonda (the best looking post war sedan ever) i soured on avanti's and bricklins, both of which looked o.k. but had real problems. the brivcklin especially (as in the doors not opening for a starter) and the general finish on avantis.

my h.s. pal had a corvair corsa, 4 carburators, a really nice machine.

now, a lamborgeni espada, well...............................

I'll still take the original Lowey designed '53 Starlite coupe over the '55.
It may be the greatest design of all time. Nobody bought it.
Sound familiar?

Ron.

Maybe my enginering skills are as ascue as my spelling skills but, why not make the car not flex so much in the corners instead of getiing rid of the glass tops?

I guess I love ugly cars.

Hey now, there is nothing wrong with Yugos. They are great for... I can't think of one. Put it this way, I'd take a Yugo over Tartar mobile and I may even take a yugo over a Lada.

I just saw a lime green bricklin about 3 weeks ago. I was wondering what it was. Corse I think the owner was looking at my SVX thinking the same thing.
