DeLorean 80s Gull-Winged Car Coming Back

by Joshua Fruhlinger on July 31, 2007 at 01:54 PM

DeLorean Returns
Surely you remember the DeLorean, the stainless steel, gull-winged car made famous by 'Back To The Future' and a cocaine scandal surrounding its womanizing founder. Turns out a lot of people remember the DeLorean, and they want it back.

James Espey, vice president of DeLorean Motor, says he'll be bringing the car back -- albeit only building 20 a year -- for enthusiasts who want more of the 80s sexmobile. He plans to build the new cars from scratch with a staff as small as 20.

Espey has been rebuilding the cars for years -- he says about 6,500 of the original 9,000 are still on the road -- but this will be the first time completely brand-new DeLoreans will be available since the last one rolled off the line in 1982. No word on price, but they do sell rebuilt ones now for $42,500.
