[DML] Re: Chevy Engine swap

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

The rotary barly sold for just over 16k, it sold to someone who 
didn't realize all the custom work done to it for 32k, then he/she 
backed out. The it was on eBay a few more times before hittin the 
max sum of 16K. That car had only been for sale for the short time 
of almost 2 years before it sold on eBay for half of what was 
invested in the car. 

Mainly that was the point of warning for most, as it will be next to 
impossible to recoup the investment, and your car will be less than 
what is was. But to each his own literally. The main point was if 
you want something to drag race, buy something else.

The only people who would be buying custom Deloreans so altered from 
their original state for prices like that are people who know 
nothing about the car, the kind most people dream about selling a 
car to. You can tell them whatever you want. But then people are 
just destroying the car, as this isn't a mass produced vehicle like 
a Honda is. 

Basically we should kind of be thanking the people that destroy 
their cars with horrible modifications of the month, as they only 
make those who maintain and keep it as correct as possible with a 
higher valued vehicle in the long run.

This topic comes up kind of frequently as new owners expecting a 
silver rocket ship buy these cars. I promise not to keep preaching 
about engine swaps anymore.
