"From custom fabricated aluminum work, to vac-formed plastic, and cast resin - this vehicle faithfully and accurately recreates the look and feel of the original movie car. Stainless steel body panels, grey leather interior, 5-speed manual transmission, V-6 engine with Bosch Fuel injection.

Yeah, but can it travel through time?!

According to them you can...

"Running late? You never will again in this accurate recreation of the DeLorean Time Machine made famous in the Back to the Future movie series."

I just love the strobe lights behind the seats...

You know, that's just a cool car. Never realized how small those split windows are compared to ours. Barely enough room for a cup of coffee to pass through.

has anyone seen the delorean with a wankel engine crammed into it along with a porsche tranny? i remember seeing that site a long time ago.

If it was a clean, low-mile example as advertised, the guy who did it should be shot for degrading what would have been a very nice and rare car. Sure, even clean examples are rarely worth more than $25K, but still...

Personally, I love Delorean DMC12s. Built essentially on a Lotus Esprit chassis, designed by Giugiaro, stainless body, the only real downfall was the drivetrain! I have seen smallblock V8s in there, so I KNOW I could fit an LT1/LS1/LS6 in there, with enough work.

'Course, I am the epitome of the obligatory "Mr. 80's", so of course I'm a fan.

Better start loading the gun...that car only has 38K original miles! I love DMC-12 Doloreans which is how I found it searching Ebay. Maybe one day I'll own one.

It is built on a Lotus Esprit platform and a twin turbo V8 can fit in the engine compartment for certain...

I just can't believe he did that as well...

This thread got me searching for DeLorean info on and I stumbled across this site: http://papertoys.com/

Remember the paper SVX? They have lots of paper models for hours of fun. Check it out.
