How This 24K GOLD PLATED DeLorean Became an '80s Nightmare | Bumper 2 Bumper
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This 24k Gold Plated DeLorean is the culmination of excess in the ’80s. This is a story about a man who had it all … money, drugs, cars and a desire to build a car company to rival the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini … or at least that was the plan. We are going gold hood to gold rear bumper on this DeLorean DMC.

Just for the record: John DeLorean was actually ACQUITTED OF ALL CHARGES due to entrapment.
My Grandad worked for GM for most of his career as a draftsman and was at Delorean at the time they built this. He's 82 now and gave me a DMC folder earlier this year with loads of photos and details on this very car, including one of the gold rivets and the photo at 3:12, where I'm almost certain he's the guy at the front of the car!

It's just how the gauges were. They reset to 0 when powered on. Goofy stuff like that is common in UK cars. Did you know Lotus used vacuum-operated pop-up headlights on some models? Turn off the car and let it sit for a while and the headlights will slowly raise to open position. Start the car and they'll go back down (ideally).
A friend of mine had a dmc-12 in his family when I was a kid. The one thing I remember about it most was the seats were right on the floor, and the dash is super long so your legs go way up under the dash.
For scale, it took James 10.5 seconds to tell us the 0-60 speed

Big deal. The video shows all over how much of a failure this car is, and if it wasn't for that movie, we probably wouldn't be here talking about it. Whether people like the movie or not, it made this car more popular and wanted for than it ever would if they used a fridge as a time machine. Mentions are unavoidable.
I totally forgot this existed
The only thing about the DeLorean cars that I remember is “Back to the Future” and the movie “Eternity”. I had heard about these gold plated models a while ago but finally have seen one thanks to Donut Media. I like how Humprey defended DeLorean by saying maybe that coke scandal could have been a set up. Who knows the truth? I do know that the DMC 12 was definitely an icon of the 80’s and I did always want one, so I could put my flex capacitor into it. I hope you all find more rare cars to put on here or all of us to enjoy. (:

The very cool story of the 24k car is actually how it was made, how they secretly transported it and how it was presented. I own a regular dmc-12 , and I can say what drew me to the car was the styling, its unbelievable story and the fact theres never been a car like it. I have SOO many books on JZD, the car and the factory. Incredible story of incredible people during some very trying times in both the USA, Ireland and England. Theres alot of public misconception, lies and hatred in some car communities concerning this car. If anyone is interested in these weird old cars, it's story or just area fan join us on dmctalk.org
I’ve seen this exact car. Was pretty cool. Held my breath when I walked around it

Nice seeing something produced locally to me, but what an abrupt end for those poor factory workers. Wasn't a lot else to do locally at the time, and with 'the troubles' in full swing, it was a pretty depressing blow to the job market and economy. Would have been nice seeing the factory still producing cars, and I'm sure it would have been one of the biggest employers over here, even to this day! Great video as always, despite the inability to access and touch most of the car! Also nice seeing a bit of home, even if it was in such dark times.

I've seen a documentary on YT showing that he's not who he makes himself to look like. He's putting his name as founder and inventor on a bunch of companies, forcing removal of true credits, but he's mainly an investor and a Twitter addict. He knows just enough to make himself look like an engineer. I am very skeptical about Elon Musk.
