We picked the car up on Long Island yesterday. What was even better was that we stopped at a pizza place for lunch afterwards and ended up running into Gary from Mitsubishi Graveyard. he got to check out the car and then we all had lunch together.
Here's a few of my Eclipse:

lol, yep, if you're refering to my Eclipse, its stock. Actually, I just ordered a system from Certified Muffler (I guess they're called BentPipes now), but it won't be here for a few more weeks. I'll be sure to post some pics once its on.
my dad is trying to find some custom plates, but all the good cheesy ones are gone. :)

I believe it uses a Volvo V6. 130HP My Mirage is almost that good! lol
I don't think my dad will let me get my hands on it. I'll try to remember to get engine pics too.

Don't take it over 88mph!!!!! :D

Hey ikickuintheball, do you go to mitsu graveyard a lot? I bought a TPS from him and he seems like a cool guy.

I haven't gone yet. Sayville isn't a short drive, and since I'm unemployed right now, I can't really drive too far because of gas. Once I get a job I'm getting the t-belt done.

Cool a DeLorean,so can you take it back in time to Sept. '98 and tell me not to race my car with a 2600lb clutch with no break-in done to it or better yet go back to '97 and tell me to buy a ACT 2600 and skip the 2100? (it didn't last 50 drag launches)


P.S. Sorry,I had to milk the BTTF references.

haha, thanks for the comments guys. I wish I could go back in time and do some things over :P

The first time we went down to check out the car we stopped in at the graveyard and talked to Gary for awhile. he's a really great guy, and he drives a black GVR4! (can't go wrong with that) :D

I love DeLoreans, I looked at one before the Talon, heheh...

Looks like you've got some custom seats in there.

2.85L rear engine V6. Too bad the twin turbo version never got released.

I love those DeLoreans! A guy not far form here had one one time. He couldn't ever get it to run exactly right because it had set up for a while before he purchased it. If I remember right.. since it was stainless steel.. he would wash it with a scuffpad!

I heard a few years back DeLorean was going to try to build a new car. guess it never came through :dunno:

I have a friend who's uncle owns a 1982 DeLorean (among many others) that has under 2000 original miles. I think he bought it new in '82 for about $20,000. I would think it has got to be worth nearly double that now, wouldn't you?

Most DeLoreans I see are going for really no more than $25k and I've even seen 'em for around $15k.

Yeah, but with under 2000 original miles?

11-21-2002, 11:07 PM
according to www.nadaguides.com, high retail is 24,000 and if they're restored by DMC (with 2000 miles I hope it doesn't need to be!) it's worth as much as 34,000.

I wonder how much a flux capacitor would up the cost? Or if you did an engine swap to a Mr. Fusion? :)

Yea so I just saw DeLoreans in V8SpankR's post and it reminded me of my last name DeLorenzo, you guy's think that is weird, I guess just I do, since it is 2:05 am...
