Re: [DML] Re: New DeLorean or "Real" One

It didn't role off the assembly line in ireland with all the history and contraversy that was going on at that time. It doesn't carry the VIN # either. To me this makes a big difference, and places a different value to the car. I think if they just refurbished wrecked cars and used the original VIN#'s of the wrecked cars to keep them on the road and in existence that would be fine. There were only a certain number of DeLoreans that roled off the assembly line, and that is another factor in it's uniqeness. Once again this is only my openion, you can agree or dissagree, it doen'st make me right or wrong.

It does get down to the definition. 
Most would agree that a car that has replacement tires, replacement 
brakes, new binnacle, replaced hoses, updated fans, replaced TAB's, 
new battery, fuel pump, even a bolt on turbo is still an `original'.

Now take a new chassis, assemble a car that has the original material 
created 25 years ago, and now it's not a DeLorean? It's a kit?

Kit implies a plastic exterior and a chassis/motor from a different 
auto 
(think pinto with a model-T exterior).

If I could afford it, I would be standing in line for one of 
the `new' cars.
Call it what you will, it's a DeLorean.
I'll bet Mr. DeLorean would own one of these.
