My DeLorean

[delorean61]

i like deloreans how much does one cost?

[smosherx]

Thats awesome great car!

[Trikster1of4]

@DeLorean03

Do u live in Ohio cuz there's a guy there that has a delorean

[FastEyeStudios]

@Trikster1of4 He has a Florida license plate.

[bobolishas]

sweet

[jammer96]

1:48. Ah the sound of PRV V6.

[Kaffyboy]

If I ask reeeaaaal nicely, would you give me your car :-)

[rex6963]

I want one :'(

[hjkentproductions]

That car is SO FREAKING SEXY. I can't wait to get one

[Klifoo]

how do u insure it..... i want one but its damn near impossible for me to get a quote

[MultiAREE]

I bet that thing could beat most of the stuff on the road if you put in a smallblock hemi, replaced the suspention and a turbocharger

[Ichliebegermany]

i so fucking envy you. i love the DeLo!

[nibler25]

what happened to tht thing in the bak lik in back to the future did they rig it up like that or did you buy a diffrent version



[DKnight51]

Hey Jerimiah! I met up with you back in 04/05. we looked at the DMC that was sunk in TX and the owner wanted WAY too much for it! I own the KITT replicar and was driving my T/A. I got my DMC and drive it daily too. Fun car to drive and own.

[DeLorean03]

@DKnight51 Wow - it took me awhile but I honestly do remember you. Glad you got one - they are so much fun.

[iOutatime]

I love this vid cuz its got that homey feeling and classic feeling you get in the DeLorean.

I love this song! 3:00

I believe you forgot the hood... and judging by the cooling unit, its not vintage. Unless you've found the car different 2:00

iOutatime...

[DeLorean03]

@iOutatime this bitch definitely isn't "vintage". This is one of the original 1981 DeLoreans, with modern upgrades such as my cooling fans, all new relays, new exhaust, stainless fuel lines, stainless coolant bottle, stainless auto shifter unit - ALL sorts of new things. Nothing "performance" wise - if I wanted to go fast, I'd buy a Corvette and be another 1 of 150,000,000 that own one

[iOutatime]

@iOutatime Whats with the NATA, NAPA thing?

[Homers69charger]

nice car but did it ONLY come in that colour? and besides that gold

[jammer96]

@Homers69charger Some people painted them to cover up dents and scratches, because it's easier to paint stainless steel than repair. Every once in awhile I see one for sale on E-bay that's been painted. I just shake my head. Paint doesn't stick very well to stainless and besides isn't one of the main features of the Delorean is the stainless finish?

[Homers69charger]

@jammer96 yeah you gotta point

[Carlosmmf17]

thanks brother i love this car back to the future great movie i wanna have one but here in mexico no sell that car, thanks

[707umair]

i would want this car but it's slow ass fuck so yeah... they should've at least gave it some power.

[sexyboi142]

the original motor desinged for this car produced over 200hp so yea

[707umair]

@sexyboi142 lol i love how you just totally pulled that out of your ass ahahah! deloreans only got to 170hp. and with catalyctic converters forced to be put on in the states the car only got 140hp. read up on stuff don't just make up shit. it's okay that you like the car but don't try to make the delorean something it's not

[sexyboi142]

yea in the states it did only recieve 130hp due to bad economy and fuel shortages but the original motor designed for this car produced if not 200+ hp it was damn close to it but delorean had to settle for the gay ass 130hp PRV motor

[707umair]

their original goal was 200hp but they settled on 170hp. the original engine was 170hp they never made an engine that was 200hp+. and even if they did thats still not fast. its a cool car and this is just my opinion i wouldn't get it because its slow. 260hp+ is fast for me. we all have different priorities

[707umair]

@sexyboi142 nvm i take that back it actually has 130hp in the states. lol i don't consider that a sports car!

[SlurmsMckenzie4]

awesome

[jparsons233]

hey i love the delorean and nice car so i found out the windows come down so where is the place u put the gas in at i dont see the place anywhere on the car

[jammer96]

You lift the hood to put gas in the car. It's like a Porsche. The very 1st cars had a gas filler door cut into the hood.

[TheTarrMan]

Do I hear lifter noise in the engine?

[dbr712]

LOL.... "HE HEARD"

[Nopp3]

oh god, this is the only sports car for me, non other would satisfy me

if i ever get one, i'll install electric windows and locks, pluss i'll probably want to have a 7segment speedometer like in the movie

nothing like old-hightech!

[BAKERHOUSE]

what a shit car

[JohnFromSpace]

Are you 11 years old? Kind of mess up to click on someones video just so you can trash their car.

[BAKERHOUSE]

it was sarcasm its so cool i would kill for a car like that sorry to have upset you

[topkev]

man, lay off, thats a delorean, every boys dream car

[BoStErO1905]

You need to drop that baby

[Namord]

drop as lower the suspension or drop as in dispose of it?

[BoStErO1905]

@Namord

Drop the suspension. How they were originally intended to be.

[ad356]

really really cool. i have a cool 80's car, but not nearly as cool as your delorean. deloreans are sick ass cars. i have a 89 camaro with a 350 tbi swap. your car is sweet/

[bfg10kx]

YEEEES BABY!!!

[maquinista205]

i buy your delorean!!!!

[themaskandmilo]

you can call yourself a verry lucky man with a nice car like that :)

you can drive it, i will be dreaming about it, i tell you that =)

take good care of it

greets from the Netherlands

[DeLorean03]

To those of you that have requested videos, I have had RLS (Real Life Syndrome). To be honest Jack, I didnt see your request til this week when I made the 1st msg - it was nothing personal. Working on my electrical engineer degree and getting accepted into the officers program for the US Air Force has been a strain to say the least. I'll make the video when I have time. Now that I gor someone special in my life, she can help :P.

[pigeonshouse]

I think people are excited to see *any* videos of a DeLorean in action as it's so rare. Especially in this country (I'm from the UK and I've seen one in my lifetime. 17 years ago).

Make them in your own time rather than bowing to YT requests - genuine enthusiasts will only be more glad to see the end result.

[XxRAPTORxX310]

take good care of that car man its bad ass

[jackmitchell123]

@DeLorean03 OK. I understand you are very busy, but it has been about 2 years now. Still waiting on that test drive video. (I can't believe I havent forgotten. lmao)

[DeLorean03]

@jackmitchell123 heh heh heh.....now I WILL make one...even though there are like 20 of them on youtube - you seem to have stuck to me about it......all right....

[jackmitchell123]

@DeLorean03 Thanks, I look forward to it.

[DeLorean03]

@jackmitchell123 I have multiple videos made - now it's time to edit (:

[DeLorean03]

Hey everyone. My engineering courses right now are very busy. I will try to make another video as requested by Robbo4264. The average MPG varies depending on manual or automatic. Manual - 25-30 MPG; automatic - 16-25 MPG. Bought it in 2003 for $10k - put another $20k or so into it getting it roadworthy - almost all my own work - almost no shop labor whatsoever. Found it in a barn where someone was collecting cars but not driving them. Couldn't let it go to waste =).

[Robbo4264]

Got a couple of questions. How is the gas mileage and how is the view while looking back? Can you easily see out the back or does the trunk make it harder to see. If you could maybe another video just quick showcasing the rear view. Just a suggestion. Nicely done and way to keep the car clean!

[jammer96]

Rear visibility isn't that great due to the rear deck slats. It's better than a Lamborghini Countach though. The new Deloreans have rear cameras installed to help remedy the problem. Boss and Mach-1 Mustangs had the same issue. You can use regular gas in a standard Delorean. If you modify the engine with a turbo or a Stage 2 upgrade then you have to use premium.

[starkiller70]

where did you get it?? and haw much did it cost?

[LZbaconman]

this car is the ultimate definiton of awesome!!!!!

[gullwing14]

again man, love your ride.

[thebigo123]

carefull once you getter up to 88

[JohnFromSpace]

Thanks for sharing buddy!

[slashmaster14]

....awsome

[ObamaNumbaOne]

How much did that cost you?

[sparks12001]

they can be had for anywhere from 200-30000, just looking at an ebay page.

[mrkevx1]

and to help sales of movie tickets people who watch the movie one lucky viewer wins a delorean

[mrkevx1]

i love deloreans so much i hope a good dictor do a john z delorean movie for the therthers sorry for bad spelling and i think if done right you can good film like back in the days when he worked for gm held make the pontica gto how starded his own bussines in irealand back in 1970s in a bad time sting oprtion the deal gone bad how his car the delorean made a great film back to the future 1985-1990 and before he died he made sctaches of new delorean and .........

[Seattlecarnut]

Awesome video! Nice car. I've never owned a DeLorean of any kind, and I'll probably never will. But I've always admired the car for obvious reasons. I love the sound of the engine. How about going for a drive?

[eddiebmx]

sweet

[spooch88]

man i want one of those cas so bad! or at least i want to see one in real life and not just on youtube or BTTF

[gullwing14]

yeah man I feel the same way. I was fortunate enough to get to sit in one at a museum in November. Don't Worry. It'll happen.

[Taraka1]

Stupid question, but I only know a little about cars.

Was urs previously a Clutch or did it come as an automatic?

Because I'm buying my own Delorean next month and it's a Clutch. (no big deal if I can have it turned automatic though.

Sorry to hear about ur girl. The funniest thing the Delorean has brought me to mine.

[gullwing14]

actually with a manual you can take the car to DMC Houston and there is an opening in the chassis and they can do something with it to turn it into an automatic.

[jammer96]

Your Delorean sounds good. Did you modify the exhaust any?

[udiealot81]

how much did that thing cost you?

[Skater303303]

wooooow dude! and you can go back to the future whit that? :D

[DeLorean03]

Thank you everyone for your compliments!

What do I mean? Well simple - you get a DeLorean, you basically will put more time and attention into it, and you'll lose your girl.

True story, I was there.

[gullwing14]

oh i get ya. I'm sorry to hear that.

[DeLorean03]

No biggie, dude. Fuck her

[gullwing14]

I can relate. I was dating this really cool girl, and then a now-good friend of mine had just moved in, and I was hanging with my new friend more and she got pissed at me. I'm still good friends with that same guy though, lol.

[gullwing14]

just to clarify I'm still friends with the guy who moved in. I don't talk to my ex much, lol.

[gullwing14]

what do you mean when you say DeLoreans cost girlfriends?

[DingitDuck]

Beautiful car!

[JoePennDrums]

Good luck with everything and continue to LIVE THE DREAM. As many, I plan on owning a DeLorean as well, one day.

Rock ON!

-Joe Penn-

[dusenberg]

you lucky bastard

[DeLorean03]

More like "you broke-bank lucky bastard"

Let me make sure everyone here understands something. DeLoreans cost the owner two things - money and girlfriends.

[Sarcasticscum]

DAMN! you actually kept the stock 2.6? shit I switched mine over with an 82' 911 4.8 liter and trans! it flies!!

[DeLorean03]

I'm in college working on my electrical engineer degree. I don't have time or the money for such a awesome project. I'd love to do that, but right now, I'm just happy and proud to own a DeLorean being in college.

[Sarcasticscum]

Well that's understandable... your right! at least you have one!

[gullwing14]

What build date and V.I.N. is your car?

[DeLorean03]

Aug 81, Vin 3299

[CAPTSCRU33Y]

How often do you drive your delorean?

I'm wondering if you use that on weekends or something.

I'm hopefully gonna help pay for a delorean that I also hope is on sale in a parking lot that is just up the street from my house.

[DeLorean03]

I drive it about 3-4 days. I could drive it everyday, or I can drive it once a month. This car is just as good as a Nissan or a Honda once properly restored. I wouldn't recommend it ALL the time though - parts on exotics do tend to break more quickly - law of automotive world =P.

[CAPTSCRU33Y]

Yeah I hear ya.

So where did you get the car and how much was it?

You can give me a sophisticated answer if you want since I know it's not exactly a simple thing to buy any car.

[DeLorean03]

I bought it from a private collector in Cleveland back in 2003. I paid only $10k for it, but I easily sunk another $15 (THOUSAND ..not $1500) into it to really get it road worthy again. All in all - I've prolly dropped a total of $30k into it. $10k for the car, roughly $15k to get it running and dailt driver like, than $5000 over the next 5 years to customize it and personalize it.

[gullwing14]

The best car ever! a true work of automotive art. I was really excited when DMC Texas announced they would be building new cars. I'm gonna buy one someday!

[HIIMRAVI2]

how much was it?

[SmallvilleFann1983]

I HATE YOU!

[gullwing14]

why does the tac read 10000 rpm before the car is even started? is that just a reaction to the doors being opened?

[DeLorean03]

That is one of the most puzzling questions asked. To be perfectly honest, I have no idea. It was discussed thoroughly at DMCTalk Forums, but to be honest with you I can't remember the one "answer" they all came up with \_O_/.

[einnor85r]

Does the car have a flux capassitor?,lol..I would put a fake one(of course) for a good laugh.....you could of been like "and here we got a flux capassitor" and went on like nothing happend.

[Ncalex1]

Great vid. Thanks for showing us the interior. As you said, not many people do that. I do have two questions. Just how wide / deep is the DeLoreans front trunk? And just how is the gas mileage?

[DeLorean03]

Hey there, thank you for your compliments.

Gas mileage for a auto:16-22, manual: 22-30 (depends on who you ask).

As for the trunk, it's shaped kind of like a wedge, so near the windshield it's very deep and it gets more narrow the closer you get to the headlights.

[mongess]

your so lucky

[nmzanie]

WHAT IS THAT HORRIBLE WHINE when you start the car just for the brief second it was on, it drove me nuts!!!!

[DeLorean03]

The whine is probably the fuel pump or the electrical system relays before I turn the car over. Notice I didn't turn the key immediately - I'm trying to keep the fuel pump from being strained as it is a mechanical K-Jetronic fuel injection system. It's been so long since I watched this video I can't remember :P. My audio driver's are shot on my computer so I can't watch it and tell you yet :P.

[iOzzniac]

I went to the delorean place near me and asked them about the whine, He said it was just the buzzer the Delorean makes when it starts up, just like any other car. He also says they provide free removal of the buzzer. anyway, you are the lickiest man on earth to be able to own that car. I want one so bad!

[DeLorean03]

hehehehe thank you :)! I love my car :)!

[gullwing14]

I read in the owner's manual (I read it online) that the buzzer sounds for ten seconds when the car starts if a seatbelt is unfastened.

[nmzanie]

no offense, but you are a superdork. dont worry, i am the same way.

[DeLorean03]

ANYONE who owns a DeLorean is a dork :P. A-N-Y-O-N-E =P.

[JohnnyCage93]

I just came across a DeLorean for $13,000 dollars..... if i could sell my 66' Thunderbird for 7k or more in the next couple of days.... id buy the DeLorean... lol XD

[crocomagator33]

i live in florida...winterhaven florida to be specific.and in a small personaly owned car lot there is a delorean, i saw it and its been there awhile. i dont know how much it is..how much do they normaly go for now?

[JohnnyCage93]

Depending on the condition of the car, it could sell anywhere from $6000-$60,000+.

but usualy, a DeLorean in good running condidtion, minor or no body dammage, nice interior, A/C and radio works, and low or moderly low mileage (55k miles or less) would sell for about $12,000-$26,000 dollars

[Bradhonda89]

where did you get the carpet dash???

[jammer96]

You can get those from Delorean Motor Company.

[jammer96]

I sat in a Delorean when I was 11. It belonged to a friend of ours. He let me sit in it with the doors closed. Ever since then I knew I had to have one. Our friend passed away a few years ago, but his wife still has the car. She said they're going to fix it up and keep it. If they ever change their mind I'll buy it! I alwais though they were beautiful cool cars. I'm writing a book on the Delorean called "88 mph".

[indymcfly]

Awesome car, man. Awesome! I'm only several tens of thousands of dollars away from getting mine! O_o If you do a new video, can you show how much room is in the "trunk?" I've never seen that side open before. I love the instrument cluster, too! Those buttons are retro and *awesome*. You bought yours used, right? Not refurbished?

[DeLorean03]

hey Indy =D!!!

Yes, I did buy mine used back in 2003. What a project to say the least, but I made some lifelong friends and learned ALOT about what is to alot of people a mysterious car. My car is with my bestfriend right now in his shop - someone rear'd it in a parking lot, and I'll be getting it back end of August. When I get it back, I will definitely do the trunk shots for you! Don't worry - the damage is VERY minimal - you wouldnt know it got hit if I told you. Lil' car is a tank!

[indymcfly]

Awesome! Good to hear it's alright, too. Although a car as cool as that is bound to be a tank. =P I have a few model DeLoreans but you know you can't really judge the size of the trunk from a 1:32 or 1:16 scale car. Plus, who knows how accurate the models are! Looking forward to the video!

[DeLorean03]

Thank you =D! I had a Pioneer DEH-4700MP in there but it died so I up'd it to the 5800 model. Looks great with the A/C console! Thank you for your compliments!

[NadrianATRS]

what's with that "huh" noise you make after you talk

[DeLorean03]

Um - what a unique question. Probably just how I talk. Like some people use their hands to speak while they talk and others don't look people in the eye, and others pause long or short before they speak - it's just something I do.

[boristheconstable]

Are you Josh Groban?

[DeLorean03]

LOL - I hear this ALOT actually. No I'm not :P.

[jackmitchell123]

hey can you post a video going for a drive in it? is it insured? i really want to see it please!

[DeLorean03]

heheh sure I will! I actually have made videos like that befre, but I always recorded over them. I will TRY to do that though for you pretty soon. You want a "still" shot on the dash, or you want me to hold the camera while i drive? Let me know!

[jackmitchell123]

still! Include tunage but not too much bass the mics on those cameras cant handle it and it blanks out all the audio. Thanks for replying

[yetihunter321]

U are so lucky! DeLoreans are my favorite! I WANT ONE!!!!!

[lkjoiunhgy]

actually what you could do if you have a friend that wouldnt mind a ride in a DeLorean that has a decent hand have them record while you drive so you can talk but you wont be so distracted that you damage the car

oh and by the way IT IS EXOTIC by almost evverybodys standards BUT MOSTLY MINE

[DeLorean03]

hey bud :). I will do that soon - unfortunately someone rear-ended it in a parking lot so it's with my best friend in his body shop. He owns a DeLorean too - and he knows what he's doing. I will have the car back around the end of August. Don't worry everyone - the damage is EXTREMELY minimal

[lkjoiunhgy]

thats good because that car is more than a car to me it is a work of engineering art. and in a few weeks (hopefully) I will be able to drive someoness DeLorean (after I learn to drive a stick) but Im going to post that when that happens.

[jackmitchell123]

Hey, its been 5 months, can you do that dash shot now?

[jackmitchell123]

Alright, i have waited a year now, where is this video? How long is "pretty soon"?

[portnoyfan521]

hey, how much did you pay for that delorean?

[DeLorean03]

I paid 10k for it back in 2003. I put somewhere in the neighborhood of $15k-$18k to get it to street-worthy condition.

[jammer96]

Long live the Stainless Wonder!

[IMPISSOFF]

Only thing wrong is the way the door opens its cool but u need a big garage and cant get out the car in small alleys

[DeLorean03]

I will post a video to show you that the exact opposite is true. This is one of the biggest misconceptions about the DeLorean doors, and I will provide a video to show otherwise soon.

[IMPISSOFF]

cool cant wait

[DeLorean03]

New video about this posted.

[yetihunter321]

LUCKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[jammer96]

I love your car man! You are a lucky man!

[cheesypuff16]

Is the front of the car the trunk?

[trialmedia]

The front of the car is long as it was originally the DeLorean Safety Vehicle (DSV) with a main concentration on safety - i.e. a large crumple zone at the front of the car. Obviously it then became DMC but kept the big crumple zone as it was indeed a very safe design. Hope that clears stuff up.

[Me04120]

If the engine is in the back I'm Surprised they made the front of the car so long. I guess they were just going with the style at the time or something.
