DeLorean, it was biased against both the car and the man.  Hillel Levin,

Don't look for the cheapest D you can buy.  I purchased a 1981 D for $12,000                                                                                                                                                                    
then spent another $11,000 to have the car gone through  mechanically.  D's                                                                                                                                                                     
are great cars but not for someone on a budget.  Do yourself a favor and                                                                                                                                                                        
spend the money on school.  After you have a good education you will be

Soem guy had a DeLorean for sale on ebay,  he had a 81 gas flap hood also that                                                                                                                                                                  
he was gonna throw in if the price went so high.  I don't believe it did.  I                                                                                                                                                                    
think it had one blemish (due to the problem why the hoods were stopped being                                                                                                                                                                   
made that way).  I can check to see if he has it for sale.  I thought it was

There where 3 types of hoods:                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
1) The hood with a gas flap and lines on each side of the hood.                                                                                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
2) The hood with no gas flap but still with lines on each side of the hood.                                                                                                                                                                     
These two were on the 1981 DeLoreans. Hood 2 was introduced with VIN 3200                                                                                                                                                                       
according to Parts Bulletin PS-01-9/81.                                                                                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
3) The 1982 hood was totally flat, but with a "DeLorean" logo.                                                                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Why these changes?                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Apparantly the first hood was very practical since you didn't need to raise                                                                                                                                                                     
the hood to gain access to the fuel tank. This was changed apparently                                                                                                                                                                           
because of an overall better look of the car without the gas flap.                                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Hood 2 was discontinued after VIN 7199 (81). The reason for this was that                                                                                                                                                                       
the stamping process cracked a lot of hoods due to the lines on each side.                                                                                                                                                                      
The 82 hood also got a DeLorean logo.

I was just thinking to myself today, "What ever happend to that four wheel                                                                                                                                                                      
drive DeLorean that was for sale in TX a while back?"                                                                                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Anyone on the list purchased it?  Anyone heard anything from the seller?                                                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Just thought I would try to add something to the list.  It would be nice to

the wrong regulator or a later version?

For what it's worth, I survived my very first car show and won 3rd place in my division. Which division I don't know unless it was anything that wasn't a Camaro or Mustang. I was up against a Pantera though.

While out driving this week, I could not get reverse gear (5 Speed).  No

manouvering, I managed to drive off in first gear.   After a short distance                                                                                                                                                                     
I noticed that the gear selector was getting aprogressively sloppy and

had worked loose and the lever was actually 'floating' .  It was attached

The fact that the pins had worked loose caused some concern.  What                                                                                                                                                                              
concerned me most was the possibility of them working loose again and to

pins, I could not get a tight fit which meant they would eventually work                                                                                                                                                                        
their way out again.  To fix the problem, I drilled a hole at each side of                                                                                                                                                                      
the mounting bracket above where the pins slide through.  I then inserted                                                                                                                                                                       
the pins and drilled into each pin to about 1/16 of an inch.   The holes in                                                                                                                                                                     
the bracket were then threaded to accommodate a small bolt.  I reassembled                                                                                                                                                                      
the the gear linkage assembly, inserted the pins and locked them in place                                                                                                                                                                       
using the locking bolts with a small dab of medium Locktite.

Some people do have a lot of nerve and think that they are in a car dealer                                                                                                                                                                      
show room.  When I display my car, I prop the engine cover open and leave                                                                                                                                                                       
the doors open.  Of course, I remove anything from the car that sticky                                                                                                                                                                          
fingers might brush against.  I just remove the temptation.  It is only                                                                                                                                                                         
natural for people to touch the body, they do not believe that it is metal.

I bring an umbrella and chairs and just talk with the people that come by.                                                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Perhaps next time, you will have other DeLoreans to compete against, I think                                                                                                                                                                    
it is more fun with other D's there.

Grounding out the blue-black wire going to the Thermo-timer will cause

I show my car on the ISCA circuit and fingerprints are standard                                                                                                                                                                                 
I got to the point of putting up a sign that said PLEASE TOUCH                                                                                                                                                                                  
people actually got nervous and it actually has had the opposite effect. I                                                                                                                                                                      
now get less finger prints                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
Hard to figure out people                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
A little windex and its as good as new                                                                                                                                                                                                          
I leave my car at shows all the time and have never had a problem                                                                                                                                                                               
I even leave stuff inside                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
so far so good and I don't recommend it but most of what I leave is xerox                                                                                                                                                                       
copies so no great loss.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
I do fear the idiots that come to car shows with big belt buckles or cameras

After watching the John Delorean story on E!, I have a question for the list.                                                                                                                                                                   
Does anyone know where the Cadillac dealership was that Delorean aquired in

I've had a similiar problem with a pickup truck (5 speed also), and working                                                                                                                                                                     
at a car dealership, I figured out to take it to a dealership, seeing that                                                                                                                                                                      
that is such a problem at times.                                                                                                                                                                                                                
My advice would be to try and contact DeLorean One by email or telephone.                                                                                                                                                                       
They are the best at fixing and/or rebuilding DeLoreans, and thier parts as                                                                                                                                                                     
well.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
Good Luck,

Don't strengthen the glue.  It's cheaper and easier to repair a missing emblem than a damaged hood from prying hard.  If they want it they'll get it.  Minimize the damage.

> mph, I can't help but wondering what the top speed of the 5-speed auto                                                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
The top speeds are fairly similar - between 120 and 130 mph.  The DeLorean                                                                                                                                                                      
is drag limited (in fact, a 5-speed is just as fast in 4th gear as it is                                                                                                                                                                        
in 5th) rather than redline limited, which means that the only difference                                                                                                                                                                       
in top speeds will be due to drivetrain losses in the auto trans sapping                                                                                                                                                                        
power.  The auto in the DMC is fairly good about that, so you should                                                                                                                                                                            
expect about the same top speed.

Pictures of Fil's DeLorean are on my web site at

There was almost every type of muscle car at the event including the Pontiac                                                                                                                                                                    
GTO and Ford Mustang.  There were even 4 Pantera's there along with a '68                                                                                                                                                                       
AMC AMX.  All the owners that I talked to were more than happy to answer any                                                                                                                                                                    
questions I had about their cars.                                                                                                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Fil's car caught quite a lot of attention.                                                                                                                                                                                                      
I was amazed how many people flocked around Fil's D.  One individual                                                                                                                                                                            
previously owned a DeLorean and told me about his experiences with his D.                                                                                                                                                                       
He had bought a black int auto D from a used car lot in '86 and sold the car                                                                                                                                                                    
about a year later.  Apparently he liked the attention he got from the car,                                                                                                                                                                     
but  he complained about the acceleration of the car, the periodic shutting                                                                                                                                                                     
off of the cooling fans (which would often leave him with an overheated

said would cause his car to downshift on the freeway for no apparent reason.                                                                                                                                                                    
I was wondering, I know that now updated are available to remedy most, if                                                                                                                                                                       
not all these problems, but were there any available back then in the mid to

I have cut the commercials, but this isn't a professional job.  I did the                                                                                                                                                                       
best I could with my VCR's, but the picture and sound quality is very good.                                                                                                                                                                     
I'll record all tapes in the SP mode for best sound and picture.  The tape

I like to come to a compromise on this situation.... We call the front of a                                                                                                                                                                     
car the "bonnet" and the back the "boot". However with a rear-engined car,                                                                                                                                                                      
(a VW beetle for example) the "boot" is at the front, which to me always

I always refer to the bonnet and trunk at the front of a DeLorean, and the

There's a rumour going around in Europe that Volvo has plans for a gullwing                                                                                                                                                                     
sports car. Several magazines have spread this rumour. I thought I'd send an                                                                                                                                                                    
e-mail to Volvo to find out. I did that and also sent an e-mail to Lotus to                                                                                                                                                                     
hear if they too had plans for such a car.                                                                                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
These were the answers: While Lotus denied plans for a gullwing                                                                                                                                                                                 
categorically, Volvo was more reluctant in their reply, neither denying such                                                                                                                                                                    
plans nor confirming such plans.                                                                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
In other words, Lotus has definitely no plans of producing a gullwing sports                                                                                                                                                                    
car, but Volvo MAY have such plans.

I'm hoping that some of you out there can help answer some questions that                                                                                                                                                                       
started rolling around in my head after watching "The E! True Hollywood                                                                                                                                                                         
Story" of JZD.  Hillel Levin mentioned that DeLorean had mixed with some                                                                                                                                                                        
unsavory characters during the years prior to his cocaine arrest.  I remember                                                                                                                                                                   
a name that has come up in Levin's books as well as several other books about                                                                                                                                                                   
JZD and that name is Roy Nesseth.                                                                                                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
From what I've gathered, Nesseth was supposedly involved in some deals with

Midwest.  I can't remember if it was Kansas, Nebraska, or Missouri.  Anyway,                                                                                                                                                                    
Nesseth was supposedly DeLorean's strong arm tactics man.  He's named by

this:  how much of these stories is true, and whatever happened to Nesseth?                                                                                                                                                                     
Does anyone know of any other unsavory characters DeLorean was supposed to

On another note, what happened to Bill Collins, Bill Haddad, Dick Brown, and

prototypes of the DeLorean (with the sharper lines and tan interior) were all

time, DeLorean was still engineering the car independently. When John                                                                                                                                                                           
DeLorean contracted Lotus to do most of the work, Collins felt somewhat

first DMC for the stupidest reasons. Collins work was constantly being made                                                                                                                                                                     
fun of and reworked by Lotus which really got to Collins. At this point he                                                                                                                                                                      
finally broke and turned in his resignation to John DeLorean, who at that

C.R. Brown left DeLorean at the very end of the company's odyssey, I believe

I found a DeLorean for sale with the front of the Car all the way to the                                                                                                                                                                        
front wheels smashed in.  The Car runs great and the interior is great.  Does                                                                                                                                                                   
anyone have any Idea How much it would cost to fix the Front of the

I found a DeLorean for sale with the front of the Car all the way to the                                                                                                                                                                        
front wheels smashed in.  The Car runs great and the interior is great.  Does                                                                                                                                                                   
anyone have any Idea How much it would cost to fix the Front of the

as far i can tel as a former bodyworker when you would give me the parts id                                                                                                                                                                     
would kost you abouth $ 4.000,-- til $6.000,-- (depending at the job to get                                                                                                                                                                     
it done) parts would be arround $9.000,-- til 12.000,-- (depending on what

that could be allready $ 18.000,-- plus the wrack you must payI think they                                                                                                                                                                      
wil ask between $ 4.000,-- and $ 5.000,-- because it looks nice this wil                                                                                                                                                                        
bring the car over        $ 22.000,--  But you wil have a running accident.                                                                                                                                                                     
For this price I think you are able to get something thats OK  pay and

Dear DML,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
     Okay, I have heard all the horror stories about Delorean One and I never                                                                                                                                                                   
actually understood what the hype was about until I called there myself                                                                                                                                                                         
looking for a part.  Ed answered the phone and I told him what I was looking                                                                                                                                                                    
for.  However after a bit of talking he refused to sell me a part after I                                                                                                                                                                       
told him I had shopped around elsewhere.  He told me he "Did not consider me                                                                                                                                                                    
a customer of his and he would not sell his "other customers parts" to me who                                                                                                                                                                   
was looking for the "cheap" way out."  The American Government has never                                                                                                                                                                        
allowed monopolies on anything consumer related.  I thought competition was

Isdera is actually run by a german man named Eberhard Schultz. I've got a road                                                                                                                                                                  
and track review on the Imperator somewhere. There is also a web page for a

D1 through their web site before Christmas of last year to see what they were all                                                                                                                                                               
about.  Before they could tell me anything they demanded my full VIN number for                                                                                                                                                                 
there records. (no big deal, I thought)  Then I asked what it would cost to order                                                                                                                                                               
a new set of headliners and a new dashboard cover.  They promptly told me that                                                                                                                                                                  
they were too busy to take on any new customers at the moment, and that I should                                                                                                                                                                
call back around March (This was December!)  Mind you I did not ask them for any                                                                                                                                                                
service, I simply asked for the parts themselves!                                                                                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
    At this point I knew I'd never do business with them under any circumstances,                                                                                                                                                               
but I had just bought my DeLorean, and I was interested in knowing how much some                                                                                                                                                                
general parts were for the car.  I knew I took another risk of getting treated                                                                                                                                                                  
badly, but I still decided to ask them if they had a parts catalog that they                                                                                                                                                                    
could mail me.  They never did reply to my e-mail, and about a month later I got

time, until I went back to their web site, (by accident of course!) and found out                                                                                                                                                               
that they had a full color catalog of parts that was not even close to what I had                                                                                                                                                               
received!  I was interested in knowing why I was not eligible for this luxury.                                                                                                                                                                  
What had I done?  Did I offend them in some manner?                                                                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
    Perhaps these people could stand to take the course in marketing that I'm

First and most important is frame damage. If the frame is damaged behind

($6,000 to 9,000). If the left front fender needs replacement the cost will

If there is extensive damage you would probably be better off looking for

I'm glad to see it wasn't just me.  As a relatively new owner of a Delorean,                                                                                                                                                                    
I've already had a run-in with Ed at Delorean One.  I purchased a fuel system                                                                                                                                                                   
rebuild kit which included the fuel pump, fuel filter, hoses, fuel tank boot,                                                                                                                                                                   
boot cover and the pickup assembly.  My car wasn't in running condition and                                                                                                                                                                     
had sat for many years basically destroying EVERYTHING in the tank.  When I                                                                                                                                                                     
got the kit, the pickup assembly (plastic pickup w/screens) was missing.  I                                                                                                                                                                     
thought "No Problem"  I'd just give Delorean One a call and let them know                                                                                                                                                                       
they forgot it.  When I called, I spoke to Ed he explained that that part was                                                                                                                                                                   
discontinued long ago and no longer included in the kit.  (I understand that                                                                                                                                                                    
things do get discontinued, but the problem was his attitude.)  I explained                                                                                                                                                                     
that the  Delorean One Catalog was a little deceptive to show/list parts that                                                                                                                                                                   
are no longer included in the kit.  (What I'm really thinking is Fraud.)  He                                                                                                                                                                    
couldn't see why it bothered me not to receive all the parts I  paid for.  He                                                                                                                                                                   
even cited that little legal disclaimer that all catalogs carry that says                                                                                                                                                                       
"specifications/prices subject to change..."  I tried a different approach.                                                                                                                                                                     
I said that it would at least be nice if I were made aware of this change at                                                                                                                                                                    
the time of purchase.  I told him I still would have bought it!  Nothing.                                                                                                                                                                       
Basically he thought I should be grateful for whatever he shipped and happy                                                                                                                                                                     
to pay his price.  (I guess that eventually, when the rest of the items

Needless to say, I haven't purchased anything from Delorean One since, but                                                                                                                                                                      
unlike Darren, I'd never heard anyone else complain about Delorean One.  I

One more thing.  When I purchased the fuel system rebuild kit, I also                                                                                                                                                                           
purchased the shop manual set.  The books were fine except for the electrical                                                                                                                                                                   
wiring diagram of the car which was illegible.  (You can see the circuits,                                                                                                                                                                      
but the numbers and letters cannot be read.)  Does anyone know where I can

My front parking light/turn signal bulb is burned out.  I've looked through                                                                                                                                                                     
the brochure in the glove box, but can't find out which bulb to ask for at                                                                                                                                                                      
the auto parts store.  All it says under specs is 5W/20W.  It looks similar

An old DeLorean World quote this number but has no reference. From my own                                                                                                                                                                       
records, there were certainly around 10,000 DeLoreans built if not more.                                                                                                                                                                        
Maybe the 8583 production number was the exact production number when

I've tracked DeLoreans, in both South Africa and Kuwait, that were sold as

(1) The negative post on the battery. Just make sure it's tight. It's                                                                                                                                                                           
easily forgotten and will drive you mad trying to find it, tracing back                                                                                                                                                                         
through the rest of the car.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
(2) On the trailing arm bushing mounting bracket, right side. This is the                                                                                                                                                                       
other end of the negative battery cable. It will often come loose when                                                                                                                                                                          
the trailing arm is abused, or will corrode into a poor connection with

(4) From the frame underneath the header bottle to the through bolt on                                                                                                                                                                          
the corner connector block of the engine bay. This furnishes ground to                                                                                                                                                                          
the relay compartment and central electrical control. If it is loose,                                                                                                                                                                           
there will be lots of transient symptoms with no seeming common thread.                                                                                                                                                                         
When this sort of thing happens, think "grounds".                                                                                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
(5) On the front left of the frame, where the LH radiator stay attaches

I don't want to continue bashing Delorean One, I had similar experiences,

Association used to sell these.  I bought one from John Truscott.  It's                                                                                                                                                                         
poster size, like the ones in a dealership, and it comes with a legend

       I just wanted to share my experience with DeLorean One, because I                                                                                                                                                                        
believe I know why they ask for the complete VIN number once they pick up the                                                                                                                                                                   
phone.  This goes back to last January when I just bought my Delorean.  I had                                                                                                                                                                   
purchased the drivers side window from PJ Grady, because mine was broken out                                                                                                                                                                    
and they were the only DeLorean specialist I knew at the time.  Anyway, I                                                                                                                                                                       
think it was a week later that I found out about DeLorean One on the DML.  I                                                                                                                                                                    
called them up to ask them a few questions and to order a free catalog (I too                                                                                                                                                                   
received that stupid photocopied catalog.)  And I believe that they put the                                                                                                                                                                     
VIN#'s in a computer or something and put down comments about the owners,                                                                                                                                                                       
because for some reason I was talking to Ed about the window and I think I                                                                                                                                                                      
might have asked him a question about how to properly put the window in, and                                                                                                                                                                    
he asked me where I got the window from and I told him PJ Grady and he blew                                                                                                                                                                     
up on me.  But later on a few months later I called him up again for a price                                                                                                                                                                    
on the part and after he asked me for the VIN# and I gave it to him, he said                                                                                                                                                                    
that his computers were down or something like that.  So I really think that                                                                                                                                                                    
they put something in their computers about the owners or something, because                                                                                                                                                                    
I had my brother call them about 20 minutes later and he gave him a different                                                                                                                                                                   
VIN# and somehow his computers were working again.  Just for that reason I

 front wheels smashed in.  The Car runs great and the interior is great.

 anyone have any Idea How much it would cost to fix the Front of the

part that I am currently searching for is a clutch master cylinder and I am                                                                                                                                                                     
having a hard time finding one.  I first called PJ Grady, then DMC Houston,                                                                                                                                                                     
no luck with either place.  I then decided to try another facility to find                                                                                                                                                                      
the part, it just happened to be D1.  Anytime I have ever called to a place

When I 1st bought my D in 1985 (8,000 Miles) I drove it from Dallas to my home                                                                                                                                                                  
in Denver. Although the speedometer wouldn't tell me exactly how fast I was                                                                                                                                                                     
going, I went for more than an hour through Texas at a tachometer estimated                                                                                                                                                                     
speed over 100 mph. I topped it out a couple of times just short of 120.                                                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Obviously being in an automatic transmission it takes its time getting up to                                                                                                                                                                    
speed, but even at high altitude after all these years my car will still get up

again even at just short of 30K I am certain I can push it over 100 mph.                                                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
My 2 cents is its the handling & looks that make the D so exciting and its
