Delorean Time Machine Replica Up For Auction

Posted by simoniker on from the j-fox-not-included dept.

PunkerTFC writes "I'm sure most of you remember the movie Back To The Future. Well, now you have a chance to own your very own 1982 Delorean, fully equipped for time travel. It has a "Flux Capacitor", "Time Circuits" and "exterior Flux Dispersion Banding". This thing is clearly a chick magnet, and if you can't get them on the first pass, you can always crank it up to 88 mph and go back in time to try it again! Seriously though, this car is amazing, definitely worth a look to see the details. Nothing has been missed, and my hat goes off to the builder."

    This baby lacks a Mr. Fusion. I take it that the car also doesn't fly for use in 2015... :-(. Oh well, whoever buys it has much happy modding ahead of them!

      Well that would be an upgrade accesory kit along with the hover conversion. I'm sure if you ask nicely you can find out what year you need to visit for the update.

      At least it isnt a ricer.

      Are you kidding? with that amount of neon, this is the ORIGINAL ricer!. All others are fakes!

    Sorry, but if your cup of poison is building a replica of nerd car from a movie from the 80's, then its going to take more than a few trips back in time to score with a chick...

      Speaking as a chick...if you've got the ability to travel back through time, let me tell you: you are hot. Dead sexy, even. Alas, replicas just don't do it for me. But it's still pretty cute...

    Please use phrases in the story outline the average slashdotter can understand. All this talk of "chicks" and making a "pass" is incomprehensible gobbledegook to the average Slashdot nerd. Though "you can always crank it" is perfectly OK.

    P.S. The birds won't be impressed by a replica DeLorean, just like they were probably unimpressed with a glow in the dark TRON costume. Except that hacker goth chick Raven.

    What a pity Deloreans never came into the full success they deserved.

    Stainless steel body that couldn't rust. Light, efficient and well designed midmount engine. Gullwing doors. Brilliant weighting and suspension that were 10 years ahead of what was in anything but supercars...

    The fact that so many great ideas start off in this country and are killed before they can get the success they deserve is what's driving america down the drain

    Is this the old one or the new one?
    To put it in different words do I have to feed it plutonium or bananas?

    If it's plutonium then it has too be overpriced, really difficult to get at your local gas station.

    But seriously, nice job man!

    I saw a DeLorean with Back to the Future trimmings on the road a few months ago. It was in Boston on Mass Ave headed north. In that direction lies MIT, where a DeLorean may indeed be considered a babe magnet.

    So in some contexts, and dependig on what babes you are looking for...

    Seriously though, everyone knows that magnets have two poles...and this one is definitely on the repelling side. Chicks will run away so fast that not even a time machine can catch up with them.
