DeLoreans Coming Back to Production

&gt; new regulations are going into effect later this year that will allow the production of replica cars without requiring them to meet safety guidelines involving air bags and crash tests.<p>This regulation may need some tweaking to stop abuse.

Tesla should&#x27;ve fund a way to license the design people would&#x27;ve paid much more than 100k for that one.

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&#x27;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.

&quot;The price is about $100,000, and unfortunately hover conversions and flux capacitors aren&#x27;t included.&quot;<p>Sad that the original manufacturer options are somewhat lacking, but luckily there are always after market add-ons: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.oreillyauto.com&#x2F;site&#x2F;c&#x2F;detail&#x2F;EB00&#x2F;121G.oap" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.oreillyauto.com&#x2F;site&#x2F;c&#x2F;detail&#x2F;EB00&#x2F;121G.oap</a>

This same type of article about the DeLoreans comes up at least once a year. Vaporware.

$100k for one? Holy cow. If I&#x27;m spending that I&#x27;ll get a Tesla. I get the novelty and I&#x27;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&#x27;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.

So you can take an old car design, you make new ones but triple the power of the engine and... You don&#x27;t need to recertify it ?

...but it was a terrible car! Just stylish; and now that style is dated.
