[DML] Re: Gold Delorean

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I recall correctly the Gold cars sold for $85,000 during the AMEX promotion so $64,000 plus $20,000 you can still buy it for the same price? I wonder what the Gold cars are valued at? I guess this doesn't include disassemby and reassembly though. And the interior would have to be color-changed.

Does anybody know approximately how many ounces of gold were used to plate each gold Delorean that was produced?  He seems to think that if you were to attempt plating a car like that today (with current gold prices) it would be close to a million.  I'd like to settle the debate by knowing how much actual gold was used, and what that would amount to in today's dollars.
