As interesting as it may be there will never be anymore Deloreans created. The problem as I understand it is no one has the authority to create a vin number for a Delorean anymore. To create a "new" Delorean would require it to meet all emmision and safety requirements that are presently in place, not the ones from 20 years ago. The only way the 83's were built was that the vin numbers for them were already created, it was just a matter of building the cars to go along with the numbers. It is still possible to take a "dead" Delorean and resurect it with the origional vin # but you cannot ever have anymore vin #'s then there presently are. There is no longer a manufacurer that can issue a Certificate of Origion which is required to register, title, and finance a car. There are not enough parts for a build run of any significance anyway, where would all of the frames come from? If you take them from "real" cars then you can use the vin # which is what Delorean One must be doing when they claim to rebuild a car. In effect it is not a "new" car because the vin # has already been sold so it is legaly a used car although it is rebuilt. It cannot be sold as new. The only way you could buy a "new" Delorean is if you can find one that is still owned by a Dealer and never titled. I only know of 2 cars that still have that status, they are owned by an origional selling Dealer in Keyport, New Jersey and no they are not for sale at this time David Teitelbaum vin 10757. --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "therealdmcvegas" <DMCVegas@xxxx> wrote: > In all honestly, I could totally care less about any positive/negative effect that > new cars could have on our existing vehicles.
