Hand Built DeLoreans

["James LaLonde" <deloreandmcxii@xxxx>]

OK I read the article about DMCH someone posted recently;

I'm not commenting on the likelihood/possibility/legality of the 
scenerio - but...
If they can;

Do you think it's a good idea to hand build new DeLoreans? Would this 
use-up important parts for the rest of us? Obviously there are 
certain obstacles to overcome before they could do this. Namely 
Torsion bars. Most other parts are in stock or reproducable. 


They could do a very limited run, they have what, maybe 500 engines. 
Plenty of doors... but doors don't make a car.
However, if they did plan on this perhaps it would instigate 
reproduction of other parts... Torsion bars, engine parts, even 
underbodies or Stainless Panels (not impossible to make new dies is 
it?.. though expensive I'm sure). We already have new frames!

It seems this idea is very attainible to a business such as DMCH... 
but is it a good idea? A limit run of new DMC12s would deplete an 
already low supply of parts... and full on reproduction of the car 
could de-value our original 80's cars.

However, in spite of my opinion of commericial-DMCH, I don't 
discredit thier quality. If they hand-built new cars I'm sure these 
would be GREAT quality. 
None of problems of the original D.. this time REALLY rustproof... 
and (perhaps by this time) a PRV6 Stage 3 with who knows how much 
power...and perhaps extra safety features... AND all of the looks and 
fun of our beloved original DMC12s. 

It would come with a price tag... yes... but I don't think any of us 
can deny our dreams of having a "new" DeLorean (even those of us who 
had a D back in 81... they were hardly "new" per se... practically 
broke coming off the line) Imagine a 2005 DMC12 with the quality, 
warrenty, safety and speed of a modern Corvette/Viper/SVT Cobra (hey 
the Mustang is trying....).

Comments?
Any official word from DMCH on plans... or maybe just a confirmation 
that they are considering it?

thank you, good night, we love you alllllllllllllllllllllllll
