Re: [DML] Best comment on the Delorean Yet

["Bernie" <bmanderville@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I didn't mean this to become a big issue, I just posted about what 
someone said, and asked if we all could agree about the value of the 
car.  To me, the car should acutally go for about $30K, in great 
shape, a fully restored concourse car should go for about $45K, and 
I'm talking about a winner.

Come January 1, 2006, the '81 cars become true antiques. Let's see 
what the market does to the price of the car.

We all own a very unique and special car, and we should all be proud 
of our work that we and others have done to keep them on the road.

Very happy to own 2 DeLoreans.
