Patrick Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I love the shift knob. I'm not sure, a lot of people have seen this video lately. I saw it almost 4 years ago when I was looking for deloreans to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 It's not that hard. I know of three that I've seen around columbus, all neglected next to houses...they really don't rust much at all, so it's very easy to recondition and preserve.

AutoFreak57 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 the three rotor engines are crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 That one I is a twin turbo, but I have seen many 20b's converted to NA, and those are crazy fast too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Ugh, from one crappy motor to another crappy one that makes a lot more power. I'd love to have a Delorean, but I wouldn't want it painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AutoFreak57 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 if the 20b is at all related to the engine they used in the lemans car, it is reliable. Considering it lasted 24 hours of racing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 They're selling the real deal. They are making part reproductions, and what's left of the originals. http://www.delorean.com They'll even restore one to your spec, just like ordering a new car!!

Craig Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 if the 20b is at all related to the engine they used in the lemans car, it is reliable. Considering it lasted 24 hours of racing... Are you talking about the 787B race car that won in 91 and was then banned? That was a 4 rotor R26B. Wiki says 700hp at 9k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
