Whoa!!!! My twin turbo equipped DeLorean IS a DeLorean. Such nonsense. Now, it may not be of the caliber that is desired by a Museum or a certain strata of collectors, but it is a DeLorean, never-the-less. Eight year old kids know it. Local car shows (you know, the average gear head type shows) know it. Even DeLorean car shows know it. Parking lot attendants know it. Etc., etc., etc. It has won awards - admittedly "peoples choice", but awards, just the same. And the awards call it a DeLorean. A "DeLorean" (with quotes) is not different than a DeLorean without quotes. This discussion is about the impact upon the actual resaleable value (Blue Book or NADA) of the car, and not upon the definition of an extremely rich or snobish car collector. At some concours you find the winner has built the car from the ground up, fabricating (admittedly exactly and with precision) any parts not otherwise available. In the end the collector had invested many many times the "value" of the car in any sense of the word just so as to win the award. There is NO relation between such a car and the value of other such cars. I guess you can see that this is a hot button for people other than Marc.
