Mark, You don't want a project car unless you have lots of time, money, and a garage to work on it. I own 2 DeLoreans and they are constantly fighting me with this that or the other, and the cars usually win the first battle. That's what happens with 25 year old cars. Luckily parts are available for the DeLorean, which is the only reason I own 2. Do you have any mechanical skills, and understand 25 year old technology? A DeLorean is a great car, you seem to want to live the dream, but are you ready for the cost of ownership of the dream? If you have the skills and are willing to work on the car, you can live the dream. But I would not recommend a project car if you have never re-built or restored another car. If you really want a DeLorean buy one that acutally is driven and in pretty good shape. Cosmetics can be fixed easily, the mechanical systems in the car can be a royal pain in the you know what. And if the frame is rusty you have an even bigger issue.
