I saw a program about this company on tv the other night. Apparently when DMC went bankrupt, another company bought their huge stockpile of Delorean parts. Now this company will build you a new Delorean if you have the cash (only the frame is used, but it is completely refurbished). Its a little steep, but I would love to have one of these...

Not too bad, but only really for the coolness of having a Delorean.

True... I'm not a car person, but my understanding is that they were never a very good car in terms of power, handling, etc.

But they look really really cool.

Yeah, but can they travel back in time? I think not.

apparently they aren't too serious about buyers. Got that when I clicked "Add to cart"

I used to be huge into Deloreans. DMC of Houston even offers a 200hp upgrade if you want (stock is a 130hp V6, rear-mounted). However, they are very small cars, plus they don't have many safety features (no airbags for one). The Delorean Mailing List is a great place to discuss and learn about them:

I love the car, but if you flip it, how do you get out? Without going into the past that is, time travel dosen't work upside down.

I'm sure given a long enough frozen lake and rocket boosters, you could get it up to 88 mph on its roof.
