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."

    Mods, what's so funny? Time travel *does* exist, you know. (And questions about the availability of replacement parts are very legitimate when purchasing cars.)

    Quoting Douglas Adams's proof The Salmon of Doubt, page 121 (in the British version):

    Time travel? I believe there are people regularly travelling back from the future and interfering with our lives on a daily basis. The evidence is all around us. I'm talking about how every time we make an insurance claim we discover that somehow mysteriously the exact thing we're claiming for is now precisely excluded from our policy.

    Quod erat demostrandum.

    You want to sell that '88 GT? I've been looking for one for awhile.

    That 88 GT I would be willing to part with starting at $160K. it has exactly 429 miles on it, it has lived in a heated and dry garage it's entire life (basically a living room that you can open a wall) and has only ever had synthetic lubricants in it except for the initial wear-in lubricants that the factory installed and was changed at 100 miles.

    It is the rare yellow color. with all options including the rare T-tops.

    In other words, if someone DESPERATELY wanted this show-car I'll let them desperately pay for it. or I'll trade it for the new Ford supercar :-)

    if you really want one, Ebay is the best starting point. and if you want it for fun not to preserve... get one that is in good body shape but crap engine condition... and have V8archie in chicago upgrade it for you to a Chevy 350 and turn it into a car that will utterly destroy any BMW,Mercedes, or import car on the roads.

    I know this as a friend of mine has one with the V8 modification.. and he was able to at the US131 dragway make a Fararri look pretty silly.
