It would be pretty interesting to see a "new Delorean " be produced but really, why?? I think the price would be astronomical in comparison to an original survivor. You could probably restore a "classic" for that kind of money. Personally for me, I searched for along time before I found my car, and I'm kinda proud of myself for finding an extremely low mileage original car that was all but forgotten and bringing it back to life. Houston deserves alot of praise for their efforts but, some of the things they produce really boggles my mind. Take for instance the new interior, I personally dont like it, if I wanted a car with GPS, carbon fibre, or aluminum appointments guess what? I'd buy one. The Delorean has a wicked interior, maybe an updated gauge cluster is the only thing I'd change. Again, this is a classic car and unfortunately it is within reach of alot of people who after awhile feel the need to change something on it. Im guilty of this too, Ive been looking for engine/ exhaust upgrades since before I bought mine but if the car cost $50 g's on average I think people would be more reluctant to experiment on them or hack them up into "time cars" . At that point most everyone would be into preservation and originality. Houston is definitely recognized as an important figure with this car, top 3 in my opinion. I think they could do sooo much more for themselves and the marque if they continue what they are doing and propogate the cars longevity and keep it in some kind of competitive light with the other memorable cars of the past, or present for that matter. There are Pantera specialists who not only restore the cars but they manufacture tested warranteed performance parts, engines, intakes, cams, exhausts, etc....that keep the cars both coveted and competitive. In my opinion Houston should follow suit, there are 2 ways of making money as a car specialist/ restorer......keeping the cars on the road by keeping them pristine and original or transforming them into super performers. I think DMCH should go that route first before they consider new interiors or reproduced cars. You wouldnt buy a car because it had a modern interior would you?? But I think you would if it hauled some ass!!! Didnt mean to sound like Im rambling but this is the cross I bear with this car, Ive got afew friends with exotic cars, one even has 6 ranging from restored to modified, all truly amazing. The Delorean is behind the 8 ball seems like it always was, there is so much available for the rest of them.....does the marque really need the same car but newly reproduced one that will be subject to much of the same criticism it was subjected to in 1981 or a new interior?? Maybe we could get Rob Grady to reproduce 502's engine since he has all the castings....that would be more worthwile, and surely more potent than 197 hp.
