Funny you should mention this car. I went to see it about 3 years ago when my freind, who passes by it as he walks to the train station, realized I was interested in Deloreans. It was a real shame. Nothing about it was worth the effort of restoring it. The owner had bought it when the Back to the Future movies came out. Infact this guy bought 2 Deloreans figuring he would see a good return on his penny when they became more in demand. He sold one, and let this one sit and sit... When I saw it, he was still thinking about 13k. This guy lived in a real dream world! I spoke with the mechanic of the shop and he pointed out all the mechanical stuff wrong with it... the entire fuel system. Of course the interior was a mess. There was even a birds nest in the engine bay. The epoxy on the frame was flaking off along with rust. When the owner came to meet me, I told him he killed this car by letting it sit out. I gave him some numbers which tallied up over 7 grand on parts alone. It was realy sad.... I told him to sell it for parts. A week or 2 later is was gone, so I'm not sure if he junked it or what, but be glad you didn't get involved with it!
