Again my MAIN point is Exactly what is happening to this Bricklin on 
Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?
ViewItem&item=594707298&r=0&t=0 The Car to parts value ON a RARE car 
such as this perfectly restorable Bricklin,being parted out for no 
other reason,but to make a buck,THEREBY reducing the world to one 
less rare car.Again the majority of Delorean owners are middle class 
owners,and don't have money to throw away on NOS overpriced 
parts..One only has to look on Ebay to see the feeding frenzy,when a 
hot Delorean part/or borderline Delorean is put up on auction,To 
prove my point that NOS is overpriced,One more time for the 
HARDHEADED,the main point,is the GREED to PART out a GOOD 
DELOREAN,Bricklin,Ferrari,ECT ECT,Just to make a BUCK,because of the 
inflated NOS parts MAKING the CAR worth parting out Because,the used 
parts prices trail behind NOS parts prices,Making it worth more to 
part,rather than restore,Again the ONLY Deloreans that I have ever 
parted,were Deloreans,that were impossible to restore,those cars are 
serving a purpose,and being recycled,But to take a Delorean that 
needs some NOS parts,and part it out,for no reason but the value of 
the car as parts is what my main point is.DON'T destroy a Delorean 
just To make a BUCK!!
