Does it surprise you, I am also a female Gear-head!

Pretty well-rounded in life and hobbies, 2Peas 1Pod! D) ​

 

what about the Grand Prix It fell right in with the Gto. I had a friend who had a 69 chevell with the 396 and 4speed from the floor. it would jerk you back in your seat even when he would go into 3rd gear. the only problem is it only got 4 mpg.

 

um this is my thread Doggie.

Speaking of car clubs did you know caroll shelby held onto the 1st ford gt he ever built. when he knew he was getting sick and was going to die he finally decided to sell it. now by now this car was in bad shape even though he kept it inside. The interior was all torn to pieces, the blue GT color had faded bad but the body was still in good shape no rust. It sold a Barret Jacksons auction for 8 million dollars the way it sat. can you imagine that 8 million for a car but I can't remember who bought it?

 

so can I and I need a few things too.​

​

Have you check Jay Leno's garage?​

He's got everything else. ​

 

It very well could have been him. it was a buyer by phone now that I mention it and they did not give a name

 

He wanted to remain anom

 

Well there are worse hobbies I guess. He could peddle drugs for fun and profit or maybe run a brothel

 

I bet he did not even restore it. it was original. I bet it is still ragged out and hasn't been touched. that would decrease the money for it.

 

he bought the "back to the furture car."?

 

John DeLorean was also the driving force behind Pontiac's Race & Speed Division! ​

 

I have the race option on my Pontiac. Its right there on the gear shift marked R for Race Gear. I havent tried it out yet.

 

I think I'd rather run the brothel instead

 

Just because he was a brilliant Automotive Engineer and an Auto-designer doesn't automatically preclude him from being an idiot! ​

(All of us have a little of each in our systems!) ​

Lesson out, and lesson learned! ​

 

well when you design a whole car out of Stainless steel common sense should tell you they are not going to be cheap to manufacture. I mean like Duh!!!!! the price of stainless steel even back then cost a pretty penny. so it's no wonder he tried smuggling drugs. he needed a lot of money for stainless steel.

Like Anna said he got in over his head in debt and did a idiot thing. He was going to have them rolling of the assembly line but he got busted which means......idiot and greed took over common sense.

 

Isn't that the truth. one thing for sure you would never have to worry about the body rusting but at the same time their was not that many mechanics that new how to work on the motor,and try finding your nearest DeLorean Dealer. laffin!!!!! not only that you had to pay dealer prices and OUCH that hurts.

 

Engineers are so tight, they squeak!


LOL! ​
