One of my neighbours a few doors down actually has an original DeLorean. He only gets it out on the road 3 or 4 times a summer and is constantly working on it although fixing it up is more of a hobby for him than anything else so I don't think he considers that to be a negative.<p>It is quite exciting to see it go.<p>Unfortunately the doors locked in the open position last summer which took him quite a bit of fiddling to get fixed. I suppose that was better than having it locked with users inside though.
"The price is about $100,000, and unfortunately hover conversions and flux capacitors aren't included."<p>Sad that the original manufacturer options are somewhat lacking, but luckily there are always after market add-ons: <a href="http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/EB00/121G.oap" rel="nofollow">http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/EB00/121G.oap</a>
$100k for one? Holy cow. If I'm spending that I'll get a Tesla. I get the novelty and I'm genuinely happy to see them doing it but that seems sky high for a V6 coupe.
I was so excited!!! Then I was left sad after reading they're only going to produce 300 of them at a rate of 1 per week out of old spare parts, except for an updated engine.
