Some people have no taste - Matt Clark - 21 Feb 2008
Quote:Side fenders, batches, emblems were added to make this DeLorean more exotic looking

WTF!!!!!
the only exotic thing in those pics is the Lamborghini Espada!!!
Deffo not worth $20K USD to a UK buyer, it'll be nearly £15K GBP by the time it arrives over here, and you can get a good car for that.
Mind you, we've been having a right laugh on the Vauxhall forum at a few 'gems' on ebay, check these two out :lol:
Nova 'project' - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Nova-Uni ... dZViewItem
and
Corsa 'off road buggy' - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-CORSA-OF ... dZViewItem
the mind boggles..... :roll:

I didn't even notice they were asking that much for - no way will it get any bids. That's a $15k car at the very most.
I think one of the worst aspects about DeLoreans being so cheap is that anyone can get hold of one and molest them like that. The amount of monsters I've seen on eBay lately, beit half-arsed BTTF jobs or ridiculously unflattering paint schemes is mind-bending. I know taste is subjective, but at the same time, some things are just unequivocally bad, like that thing up there.
The Corsa buggy is... novel

a lot of the cars in my view are ones that a few years ago were worth nothing, but now because of the re-grouping of eighties bands and the current interest in the 80's , they are dragging them out to make some money, thats my view anyway
TT

this is bad
the interior looks very tired, worn seats, carpets, and grey switches.
the paint and wheels detract from its value.
i would say its worth $8000.
i certainly woud not go for this one!.

I hope someone goes for it and restores it to standard. They would need a very large wallet though so I fear this will stay neglected
- Matt Clark - 22 Feb 2008
Primary, glossy colours just don't "work" on that shape - dark metallics do, but you really need some contrast somewhere on the body to keep it looking a bit trim (since the cars can look a bit bloated when painted). Cheap "Ferrari" red and matte black really doesn't mix.
As for the badges, man, I don't even know. They make the car look more exotic in the same way that leprosy makes a supermodel more alluring, I guess.

I think it looks ok, stickers are pathetic though,
I see our old friend the V8 is also back on ebay, LUUUVLY MOTOR JOHN

Both these cars need somone rich to come along and put them back to standard. These people with custom deloreans have no idea do they! :wink: :wink: :lol:
