That one actually performs like a mint condition Delorean. The Delorean, as much as I love the car, really is just mediocre when it comes to performance. Comparing this Delorean to another DMC 12, it works perfectly. Comparing this Delorean to just about anything else, and you see it really suffer. Of course, the car is very spacious, comfortable, provides a good ride experience (If you can get past the minimal power and speed that the engine produces, which ive heard that people completely forget about due to the fact that, ya'know, your in a freaking Delorean), and also, with a purchase of a flux capacitor and some plutonium, can take you on a journey across the time space continuum, so I will definitely try and by one when I save up the funds.

[@grdl5032]

One of the biggest problem with this car is its engine, the infamous PRV 90-degree V6. This engine was the result of a joint venture between Peugeot, Renault and Volvo (hence the PRV name) in the very early 1970s. At this time, all of these manufacturers wanted bigger, more modern engines, so they decided to put their resources together to design a shared platform. I insist: the PRV was a *platform* not an *engine*. Well, not exactly. The idea was to share a *common design* between a V6 and a V8 in order to cut costs - same cylinder displacement, same design, *same 90-degree V shape*. Therein lies the rub... while a V8 is naturally balanced at a 90-degree angle, a V6 is naturally balanced at a 60-degree angle. There are ways to deal with the structural issues that come with a 90-degree V6 such as having a different crankshaft and/or crankpin design, adding balancer shafts. However, Peugeot, Renault and Volvo decided *not* to do that... so the V6 PRV is naturally unbalanced and vibrates a lot. This was improved in later years: the design of the crankshaft was changed... but it was probably too late. That being said, many people say the PRV V6 engine is junk, and it really isn't. It was really robust and had a surprisingly long career (until 1998!). And the latest, improved versions were actually much better than the original engine from 1974. The PRV was even turbocharged on the Alpine A610 (250hp, 350Nm/258ft-lb torque) and other cars as well. However, it's not a *great* engine either... no one really loves the thing. What happened to the planned PRV V8? 1973 and 1979 oil crisis. So in the end, the V8 version of the PRV platform, the whole reason why a 90-degree angle was chosen, was stillborn... Now, this idea in itself isn't stupid, quite the opposite! It makes a lot of sense and I can work great... if done right. Mercedes did exactly this with its M112 (V6) / M113 (V8) engines. The 90-degree M112 V6 is a really good engine. But Mercedes did it right and added balancer shafts from the start...

[@MrHamlet]

It cost you thousands because you were paying for Wizard's learning curve on the car. Wizard seems like a awesome and very capable guy, however had you taken it to an experienced DeLorean mechanic your bill would have been thousands and thousands less. The automatics were terrible all-around. I've rebuilt quite a few of the auto transmission computers, and in fact designed an built a solid state replacement. DMCH has a similar version available as well. The swap-out takes ~30min and would have saved you a ton of time and money. The cold start issue is a 20 cent O ring fix that takes 10min. The doors take about an hour, maybe two to align if needed. Speedo angle drive is a simple fix, as it the fuel system and fuel gauge. These are all things an experienced DeLorean mech would have recognized immediately. That said...I don't want my comment to sound like overt criticisms but rather some experienced feedback. love your channel. I think you guys are awesome and please keep up the good work. :)

From my understanding they're not technically making "new" deloreans. They just have a massive warehouse full of unused parts that they use to build more deloreans.

[@Chlorate299]

@@gtf187 They're rebuilt of existing VIN numbers, so technically they're still old cars.

[@kidwajagstang]

Unfortunately, they sold out back in 2012 of the NOS builds. Today, they have to fab brand new bodies and it costs WELL over the original $40,000 they sold the NOS builds for.

[@wrkey]

DMC is now in Houston and owned by Stephen Wynn. They restore original DMC 12s and supply parts to those of us who need them. They have a website, DeLorean.com and you can find their history and dispel all the myths by going to the website. Better yet, schedule a visit and you can tour their shop and warehouse.

[@210SAi]

kidwajagstang how many total were produced?

[@augustinf]

It’s not a V6 Peugeot it’s an engine done by a Renault Volvo partnership I think. Or was that the transmission? Anyways the car looks awesome and it will always be a classic. Don’t beat yourself up too much because of the cost... enjoy it. You’ll find content for it. All kids from the 80s love it.

[@kevinpatrickmacnutt]

It's the PRV engine as in Peugeot-Renault-Volvo. Not sure what Renault used it, but this was in the Volvo 760GLE and the gasoline version of the Peugeot 604, the latter of which was much better (and faster) in it's Turbo Diesel version. It's actually a dog of an engine. This is why you saw more old Volvo 740 four cylinder cars than the six on the road.

[@augustinf]

Kevin MacNutt thanks... strange that Peugeot and Renault partnered.. that would be like Ford and GM building an engine together. I thought one had to do something with the engine The other with the transmition?

[@rickydc0475]

Having watched The Movie a zillion times over with my daughters ever since on VHS on our VCR thru out the 90s, its nice and really cool to see a person with so much zeal and care to actually invest so much $ in this particular hobby project, the Delorean! Great movie, funny movie, and just an all around good flick one could enjoy with the family, except for a few foul words, it was/ is top notch entertainment! And i agree the Delorean body style, sleek and sporty, makes for good competition in good looks among any of the rest of them! Fun and very informative video, Thanx!

The condition of the body work and interior is amazing. I think you made an excellent buy there, literally only downside (now that it is fixed) is that it is an automatic.

I was sooo tempted when I found a DMC on a junkyard network site, the engine has caught fire. I've had to console myself with adding a cyclops center foglamp to my Subaru Brat, having noticed a 1983 GL wagon, knowing the center lamp was standard for that trim level. A brave moment of cutting and attaching and I have succeeded in having a sub-10k weirdcar.

I remember reading an article on the Texas Delorean Motor Company, and remember their experts said that $35k was the sweet spot for the marque. Most running examples sold at about that price, and if you found a cheaper one that needed work, you could expect to end up spending a total of $35k for the car and repairs in the end
