Jayce was looking for a new car but he wanted something interesting. When touring a collection, he noticed a dusty non-running DeLorean in the corner of a workshop. This began the journey of negotiation, restoration, and enjoyment in owning one of the strangest cars ever built.
Ed recently tried the Armor Shield IX DIY Kit on his Porsche and was impressed.
He also very shrewdly negotiated $25 off. Enter code CANNONBALL for $25 off your complete Ceramic Coating Kit. Visit avl.kg/vinwiki...

There is something about a car that you can clean/polish with a Scotchbrite pad. Great Story!

Thanks Rabbit! There's been a couple times where I've gotten scratches in the body. All you have to do is step through several grits of sandpaper up to a Scotchbrite, and it's like it never even happened.

You can polish any car with a scotchbrite pad. Just may not have the desired results. 😂

[@goofyleo3869]

Good shit, kid. Keep it forever. There is one in the same, forlorn condition in a garage across the street from my Army Ranger buddy in Manitowoc,WI that the guy just sits on and won't fix because his wife won't let him. I think she controls the $$? (poor sap) We're hoping we can pry it out of his grasp to restore ourselves. Only problem is that my buddy is aka 'NightStalker Customs' ,is pretty big in the HotWheels community, and he wants to 'Back to the Future' it. 😒

[@prestonalmeida11]

GoofyLeo3 just tell him you’ll buy it and let him help with it or let him take it for a ride for when it’s done

[@goofyleo3869]

That is one of the angles we wanna try since the garages face eachother across the street. If anything, he can sit in a chair and watch from his driveway.

This video is a winner! it really paints the story of what project cars mean to people and the connections they build after they are running.

[@bicyclist2]

I love the story. Keep them coming. It takes a unique person to appreciate a Delorean. You can still get parts for them, as there is a company in Texas that has tons of new old stock parts. You can still get a new Delorean built for you. Thanks.

I bought my DeLorean in 1996 with 19,000 original miles (#3876). At that time it had not been driven since 1985. It had sat in a dealership showroom for 14 years. The original Goodyear NCT60 tires were no longer round.

[@behindthen0thing]

Thanks for the info

[@japython]

The Delorean is famous beyond car people, anyone who loves Back To The Future see this car as one of the stars of the films. Seeing one in person is like meeting a celebrity.

Great story and it hits close to home with me and my ol rusty 91 4WS prelude, took one hell of a chance saving it and now I'm stuck forever lol with the most reliable loveable vehicle I've ever owned.

I went to field trip in fifth grade. My friend and I had recently seen Back to the Future. My friend taps me one the shoulder, and in the corner of the parking lot, in the shade, sat a DeLorean DMC-12. I’m now 15, so it was really special and they’re now really rare.

Years ago i had a chance to see 4 DeLoreans at a Lamberts in Missouri. 3 of them were factory spec and the other was painted yellow. I always wished we had a camera to get a picture, but the memory is always there. To this day I have yet to see another DeLorean on the streets.

[@erikdisomma1759]

I paid $12,000 for mine in college and it was near flawless. I drove it all over the country on many road trips and was my daily driver. Barnett bank (now Wells Fargo) financed it with no money down and no co-signer. The car had 17k miles on it when I got it and I put over 100k during ownership making the odo roll over its 5 digits. Parts were cheap through Delorean One and I serviced the car myself. It was a great experience except for the non-stop flux capacitor jokes.

[@brandon351smith]

I'm about to pick up my second Delorean in December, sold the first one, was a daily driver, price skyrocketed since so this next one is going to be a restoration/build. It is true a about people stopping you. I was always patient and polite because you never know If this was the only time that person got to see one or not, I used to be that person too, and the last thing you want is for that experience to be ruined for them. It's almost like you are representing the car. It grabbed attention away from other fully restored classics, ferraris, even Lamborghini's. They just aren't around anymore and people get so excited. If you are wanting to drive one just know it's simply part of it.

@@WakeBakeTV obviously it was meant as chuckle in good fun. Dipshits like you ruin the comments section. The reason they put a comment section on here is so people can express their views and opinions. And is it really that big of a deal that I was auto-corrected on the spelling if a car brand name? Now that you got to tell me I didn't spell something correctly and give your opinion of my opinion, do you feel better, cupcake?

[@WakeBakeTV]

Easy there partner. It’s not that big of a deal, I was just poking fun at you man. No need to get that defensive. And as far as spelling goes, own up to it and move on because there’s no autocorrect that would change “DeLorean” into “DeLorian”. You may now want to ask yourself the same question you asked me. Feel better cupcake?
