Re: [DML] Re: Hand Built DeLoreans

Just another thought about rebuilding Delorean.

Let say you have almost all the parts to build 300 Deloreans. At the 
current rate these parts are selling (about 1% per year) that's 300 
years. The cost to keep them in storage and finance these parts 
increases their cost 5-10% per year. Since the market will not likely 
support continuing price escalation of these parts, the only logical 
choice is to put some of them together as new cars.

Clearly, there are hundreds of titles of wrecked Deloreans that could be 
resurrected. This is done with old VWs in mexico. All the parts for 
these are reproduced. All these do in put on your old VIN number. It 
is totally legal. There are people who import these as "New" Old 
Beetles. Cost $10-15K.

If DMCH does not do this, they would loose money in the long run on 
having this huge inventory.
Plus they would have to repro a number of parts to make this happened. 
Isn't that what we all really want.

I think we should support them and collect as many lost titles as 
possible. I know of a few already.
