Interesting. I’m not sure what kind of market there is for new/rebuilt Deloreans but goodluck to them.

Thats only if u already have 1
Unfortunately, DeLorean simply couldn’t sell enough of the cars to sustain the business. The company folded in 1983, a year after DeLorean was busted in a drug trafficking sting and accused of conspiring to sell $24 million worth of cocaine to salvage the venture. He used an entrapment defense to win acquittal, but legal entanglements plagued him for years to come. He died in 2005 at age 80.

what a collosal waste of time. A new Delorean will cost $57,000. A _cough_ refurbish of YOUR Delorean costs $42,000
A fool and his money are soon parted.

Interesting concept, but should have been done in a different manner. Mainly that of missing the point of what the car was meant to be in the first place.
