Re: Celebrities with Deloreans_McCormick?No!

Ok, let's clear things up. There are 2 seperate cars used in the 
production of the TV show. The first one was a modified Manta kit 
car. Later on in the production of the show, Brian Keith began to 
have difficulty getting in and out of the car. So they chopped a 
DeLorean to try and match the original Coyote car. Pretty much, the 
front end is chopped, and has been shaped simular to the first car. 
Same with the back. And then there are the gullwing doors. They've 
had the roofpanel portions chopped to make the car have T-tops to try 
and match as well.

Sometime back in '98 I believe, someone was trying to sell the car 
when an ad for it appeared on classifieds2000.com (back when they 
used to run their own ads, and didn't outsource databases). The 
asking price was $60K, and I believe someone posted an eyewitness 
report of the car, and said that it still had the camera mounts on 
it. I don't know what ever became of the car, except while browsing 
around about a week ago, I did see a picture of it over on Code 1 
Auto's website.

Here's a good site with some comparison pics.
