Yes, but it is the original body panels, interior and engine that make the De Lorean a De Lorean. Changing them to that extent is ruining a piece of motoring history. Is it that the owners are not happy with their cars, which makes them want to change them? Thomas Vin 4087 Videobob Moseley <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Actually, that is not true. If DMCH takes a DeLorean frame and underbody using an existing VIN and all they do is change things like body panels, interior, engine modifications etc.. then they are not actually manufacturing cars, and are not subject to any of the laws doing so. No crash testing, emissions testing, nothing like that. It's actually pretty smart in that respect, how ever I don't know of anyone who would buy one of these rebodied cars....maybe a few rap stars and drug dealers maybe. Jay Leno will want one I am sure. - VB >From: Thomas Mc Auley >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: Re: [DML] DMC houston video question >Date: Sat, 18 Dec 2004 21:18:35 +0000 (GMT) > > > >With loads of replica De Loreans driving about, it would make our cars less >special....If DMCH do start modifying original De Loreans, then they arent >original anymore, and not a De Lorean. > >Thomas >Vin 4087 > To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
