DeLoreans To Go Back To Production (cnn.com)

An anonymous reader writes: The last time a DeLorean was built was about 35 years ago, but that is all about to change. Next year, you'll be able to buy a new 2017 DeLorean to satisfy all your deepest Back to the Future dreams. CNN reports: "The new production plan is itself something of a time warp. The cars will be built from an inventory of a million spare parts that have been in storage ever since the Belfast plant closed. Only the engine will be a creature of the 21st century."

You could already get a good used one for $15,000-$30,000... http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/?0=0&makeFacet=DeLorean&adtypeFacet=Vehicles%20for%20Sale&page_size=15&sort=price_asc

You don't have to worry about mileage because as soon as you drive one you'll understand why DMC went out of business. Also the added derp from all the people saying "OMG BACK TO THE FUTURE CAR" will wear off and you'll want to keep it locked away in your garage.

Trust me as someone who drove the the "Urkel Mobile" (BMW Isetta) for a few weeks.

Jaguar v12 - usually replaced with a north american v8.

The big problem with that motor isn't the motor, it's all the stuff around it. The reliability went way up on the XJ12 for its last year of production, after it had been purchased by Ford. That's the only one you want. If I had an older one I'd want to throw away all the electrics and replace them completely. I'm starting to think that might be a good idea even in my Mercedes, which luckily has only a few wires going to the engine to monitor it and to run the glow system. The really fun stuff is everywhere else.
