Yeah, this has really torn me up to. Odd I suppose, because I never
even got the chance to meet the man. But I've been the same way a
couple of times today.

DeLorean's automotive accomplishments are astounding. Not only did he
have a hand in the creation of a few cars, he also held the patents on
many automotive innovations, such as recessed windshield wipers,
automatic transmissions, "rope drive", functional gullwing doors, etc..

And long before Nismo, Mugen, TRD, and the other factory performance
parts lines were pushed to complement owner loyalty, JZD helped create
"Pontiac Super-Duty" parts back in the 50's.

Production cars I'm aware of are:
Pontiac Tempest LeMans
Pontiac GTO
Pontiac GTO Judge
Pontiac Grand Prix
Pontiac Firebird

Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Chevrolet Cosworth Vega

DeLorean DMC-12

Protype Cars
Pontiac Polaris (Corvair platform)

Pontiac XP-833 aka Banshee (two prototypes: convertable & rumored
gullwing)

And there are others that I have missed, I am certain...
