ViewItem&item=594707298&r=0&t=0 The Car to parts value ON a RARE car such as this perfectly restorable Bricklin,being parted out for no other reason,but to make a buck,THEREBY reducing the world to one less rare car.Again the majority of Delorean owners are middle class owners,and don't have money to throw away on NOS overpriced parts..One only has to look on Ebay to see the feeding frenzy,when a hot Delorean part/or borderline Delorean is put up on auction,To prove my point that NOS is overpriced,One more time for the HARDHEADED,the main point,is the GREED to PART out a GOOD DELOREAN,Bricklin,Ferrari,ECT ECT,Just to make a BUCK,because of the inflated NOS parts MAKING the CAR worth parting out Because,the used parts prices trail behind NOS parts prices,Making it worth more to part,rather than restore,Again the ONLY Deloreans that I have ever parted,were Deloreans,that were impossible to restore,those cars are serving a purpose,and being recycled,But to take a Delorean that needs some NOS parts,and part it out,for no reason but the value of the car as parts is what my main point is.DON'T destroy a Delorean just To make a BUCK!!
