Abandoned and Wrecked DeLoreans :D

Yo kids

Another thread on here got me thinking.. and looking...

Its kinda my hobby to find cars like this, buy them, and resurect them

There are plenty about, so I thought I'd start a thread. ~Please feel free to add any you have found











and this is the famous 'Delorean in the woods'

[SteveyP]

:lol: Some very good pics there. I'm sure we'll see at least one of them crop on ebay as a 'great' potential project with a stupidly high reserve.

Thing is with just a bucket of soapy water even that one in the woods would probably look half decent (dread to think what the frame and interior look like though - the costs involved getting them back to any sort of reasonable condition don't bear thinking about).

Good stuff..

I've seen 1, 4 and 5. Do you know anything more about 2 & 3?

[Chris Williams]

No 3 does look very much like a UK/Europe type of garden as opposed to a US one, wonder where it is?

No 3 is Euopean, but not UK - look at the bike handlebars, at the construction of the house just over the hedge - neither British.

[RobScott]

this is a pic i actually took, we found it while digging for a water pipe

Last batch:

1. never seen before. Looks USA
2. Was in a scrappy in South Carolina a few years ago.
3. Recent pic. The car actually had barely a mark on it after they removed the little shrubbery
4. & 5. First looked like the same tub. Maybe are but pics taken at different times. No idea where.

another good site for trashed DeLorean pics is www.wreckedexotics.com.

There is/was a car on there that was fire damaged and donated it front fascia and spoiler for my car back in 2003

oh dear. That IS a sorry looking car. I really hope all these cars get rescued. :roll:

[RobScott]

some more for ya

I think I recognise that middle picture. Wasn't that the one that turned up on ebay recently?
Looks like they must have pulled out the front end of it, then roughly straightened it out a little. All ready for some unlucky punter to get stung on .
