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.
