Jayce was looking for a new car but he wanted something interesting. When touring a collection, he noticed a dusty non-running DeLorean in the corner of a workshop. This began the journey of negotiation, restoration, and enjoyment in owning one of the strangest cars ever built.
Ed recently tried the Armor Shield IX DIY Kit on his Porsche and was impressed.
He also very shrewdly negotiated $25 off. Enter code CANNONBALL for $25 off your complete Ceramic Coating Kit. Visit avl.kg/vinwiki-cannonball

There is something about a car that you can clean/polish with a Scotchbrite pad. Great Story!
I like this guy. Bring him back for more stories.

Ramblin_DMC Hey Jayce, great story! I’m in Loganville, I’m almost 100% certain I used to see your ford in my neighborhood years ago
We love DeLoreans! Thanks for watching and have a great day.
"My car cost less than. Your watch". Please make that a tee shirt!!!!
This is perhaps the most sincere, honest, and coherent Vinwiki yet. This guy is obviously the real deal and not full of the usual Vinwiki excessive, and often undeserved, B.S. bravado. Bring this guy back and feature more like him. The cocky frat boy, wealthy exotic car/business owner, and my sh*t doesn’t stink, side of Vinwiki gets old fast.

I’ve seen a lot of Vinwiki stories, but this one literally resonates with my heart. I love this! And I’m glad you feel that way about this car.
so the engine didn't run right the transmission didn't shift right in needed a whole suspension you realize you bought a showroom fresh DeLorean

Really nailed it getting something he'd never see himself selling. Both in it being a DeLorean and how he got it back to the road.
I’m a Tech student as well, my freshman roommate used to hang out with Jayce, I loved seeing a delorean for the first time.
Wholesome story, good presenter. Nothing not to like
Last time I was this early, the paint shop was still on schedule.
This guy was so lucky for his generation and coming back to the history who originally owns that car, I was so amaze when this guy talks about his beautiful past, lovin’ it the content 😍

Good shit, kid. Keep it forever. There is one in the same, forlorn condition in a garage across the street from my Army Ranger buddy in Manitowoc,WI that the guy just sits on and won't fix because his wife won't let him. I think she controls the $$? (poor sap) We're hoping we can pry it out of his grasp to restore ourselves. Only problem is that my buddy is aka 'NightStalker Customs' ,is pretty big in the HotWheels community, and he wants to 'Back to the Future' it. 😒

Such an iconic car and great story teller. Made my day.
This video is a winner! it really paints the story of what project cars mean to people and the connections they build after they are running.
I love the story. Keep them coming. It takes a unique person to appreciate a Delorean. You can still get parts for them, as there is a company in Texas that has tons of new old stock parts. You can still get a new Delorean built for you. Thanks.

4:10 "It's really special to drive a project car for the first time." Since the day before yesterday I can confirm that, having just finished 3 years of restoration on a first-gen MX5/Miata, never driving it all that time.
Gotta love VINwiki. Every interview is passionate and unique. Some of which are far stranger than fiction.
Great work mate and and a great choice of something interesting to own for the rest of your life.
I’ve started to realize these videos are posted right before I wake up, great to hear in the morning routine
Best VINwiki yet!
he bought a DeLorean.... lucky bastard
Great story and really can tell it was a labor of love. Thanks for sharing!
Best youngish guy you had on here yet👍
What a great story! I enjoyed this. Inspiring.
Great story...Thanks. A DeLorean always makes me smile in a good way. I Have the same with a Humber Super Snipe, a Iso sports car and a De Tomaso Deauville.
This is a really cool story. One of the top ones for me.. Awesome car and story
Great story! Thank you!
Great story. I love DeLoreans and it's always great to find that "keeper".
Great video and cool story. Thanks.
this story is up there with rabbit's stories, thank you bro.
Great story and it hits close to home with me and my ol rusty 91 4WS prelude, took one hell of a chance saving it and now I'm stuck forever lol with the most reliable loveable vehicle I've ever owned. Thank you for a smile on a rainy day, makes me damn happy to see morevpeople taking a risk on an 80's or 90's car
Great story and passion 👍🏼🍻
Great guy, we need him more often!
This is a super cool video. Keep it up!
Cool story seeing 4 deloreans in one spot so cool.
That was a phenomenal story
Wow, I live in Monroe and I have seen this car in person at a car show. Amazing car

Nice one 👍. Had mine for 20 years. Filling up with gas just never gets old😉
Years ago i had a chance to see 4 DeLoreans at a Lamberts in Missouri. 3 of them were factory spec and the other was painted yellow. I always wished we had a camera to get a picture, but the memory is always there. To this day I have yet to see another DeLorean on the streets.
Great speaker!!!!
I bought my DeLorean in 1996 with 19,000 original miles (#3876). At that time it had not been driven since 1985. It had sat in a dealership showroom for 14 years. The original Goodyear NCT60 tires were no longer round.

The Delorean is famous beyond car people, anyone who loves Back To The Future see this car as one of the stars of the films. Seeing one in person is like meeting a celebrity.
This was a great story. I love how these unusual cars have such a cool, niche following.

This guy needs to come back that was a great story.
I went to field trip in fifth grade. My friend and I had recently seen Back to the Future. My friend taps me one the shoulder, and in the corner of the parking lot, in the shade, sat a DeLorean DMC-12. I’m now 15, so it was really special and they’re now really rare.
i feel like a delorean is a non-car guy's idea of a dream car
This was a great one
Great stories ! Nikon Ftn sighting at 8:23
You know my dream car is a Porsche gt3 or a turbo s, but I know deep down the delorean is my dream car... thanks for sharing. Loved the video 👌

Oi bading
I paid $12,000 for mine in college and it was near flawless. I drove it all over the country on many road trips and was my daily driver. Barnett bank (now Wells Fargo) financed it with no money down and no co-signer. The car had 17k miles on it when I got it and I put over 100k during ownership making the odo roll over its 5 digits. Parts were cheap through Delorean One and I serviced the car myself. It was a great experience except for the non-stop flux capacitor jokes.
Random dude....... with an amazing story and vehicle! Good job! The DeLorean is stunning! Not sure I'd want to own one and drive around it, too much attention for my taste but I toally get why people freak out! :D
great guy, great car, great story
Lmao yup. Driving your projecTV for the 1st time is the best feeling ever, I went through that with a wrecked 91 miata. That feeling is the most beautiful thing in the world, specially when you do it yourself. Happy Thursday guys🤙🏼🤙🏼
What an f'ing cool story!
im so glad people are taking care of these cars, i hope to own one one day
I like this guy. Good story.

I was hoping this was going to be Tyler Hoover's Delorean. But this was great also.
You forgot the flux capacitor you're never going anywhere without it.

I'm about to pick up my second Delorean in December, sold the first one, was a daily driver, price skyrocketed since so this next one is going to be a restoration/build. It is true a about people stopping you. I was always patient and polite because you never know If this was the only time that person got to see one or not, I used to be that person too, and the last thing you want is for that experience to be ruined for them. It's almost like you are representing the car. It grabbed attention away from other fully restored classics, ferraris, even Lamborghini's. They just aren't around anymore and people get so excited. If you are wanting to drive one just know it's simply part of it.
AWESOME!!!
I’m from Long Island I remember seeing the Delorean for the first time. And it wasn’t just one, there is a group that is near where I live and it must’ve been like 10 of them driving past my house. Best experience ever, wish I recorded it. Lol
Good stuff
I've loved the DeLorean, ever since I was a kid. Always wanted to get one, but they are so rare and pricey in Australia, it's on my "when I win lotto" list (it's a long list!!!)
I remember seeing a converted DeLorean (back to the future) parking at the school i was attending at the time. I never found the owner; but i think i took pictures of it from the outside. I remember it being a pretty good conversion job. That's the only time i've seen one in person. this was around 1998 or so.
Love this video ... I'm an e36 m3... e39 528i ...and e53 x5 4.4i BMW guy and my cars are part of our family and we could never part with them .... all our cars have a story too and even though they are over 200000 miles (300000km ) +++ on all of them we still daily them... BMW...... broke my wallet .... break fix repeat
