We have recently been invited to, and have, joined the NADA advisory board and look forward to offering our input on DeLorean values. I don't expect our contribution to change the current values to a significant degree. However I am gearing up my workforce to be able to provide more restored cars for sale as I have seen a definite renewed interest in the car. It is unfortunate that so often someone has to die before their life's work earns them some respect. As to the quality of one venders work verse another IMHO our shop can turn out a restored DeLorean that will "knock your socks off". Ask around... we may be a little backlogged but I always stand by our work. James since we both are on the NADA board now does that mean you'll have to memorize my first name(AKA Ron):). "I tell you I don't get any respect"! BTW sorry Debby and I can't make it to the show in Houston as I'm sure it'll be a good event. Have fun everyone.

Each quarter each advisory board member is surveyed for their sales data across all makes/models. We're NOT the only one reporting values for DeLoreans, though it would surprise me if anyone else was reporting as many as we are. I just completed the current report last week and reported 6 cars sold ranging from $19000 up to $46300.
