You could be right. I was only looking at the most recent website.I'm sorry, what???
Also I thought at some point that DMC made a pretty faithful reproduction of the original Delorean, only electric. It appears I was mistaken.

Perfect candidate for a SBC swap..... rear wheel drive and a ton of room under the hood. The perfect sleeper.
@James Hart and I have talked about this swap many times in the past.
Still considering it for this one
Nothing crazy, just a solid EFI SMC with an automatic (the wife's car).
Is this it? The concept art I saw hewed a bit closer to the original. This looks more like the child for a Mini Cooper and a 2CV (not that there's anything wrong with that.)
My dad had a 240 wagon in silver for most of the time I was growing up (until college, in fact.) I wish he had kept it so I could have done something silly with it...Still considering it for this one

Sorry, I'm Not sure. I just did a image search, and quite a few results looked like this one.
Here is another picture of the Citroen, I wonder which one it'll look like. Maybe different packages. I'd prefer the red one with the headlights paying homage to the original. But it's so cool looking you know it'll never make the cut.

I learned to drive in a '69 (also convertible). That car laughed at the 55 mph freeway speedlimits.
I had a lot of fun and am truly surprised that I survived my late teenage years.
Nice, I've had 2x 240 wagons (both blue), one 740 wagon (white), one v70 wagon (silver), one XC90 V8 (black)... then a 242 (green) & 262c (silver)... and a P1800 (black). The first step is admitting you have a problem... but I'm not admitting s**t!
I've lusted after the 1800 ES since I was in high school. Never driven one, sadly.
Ah I see.
That one looks angry...
As you should cause that is gorgeous! Closest I've seen in person was the C30 T5 my neighbor used to have. (I think I posted a picture of it in this very thread.)
Refreshing to see steel wheels and clip on lead wheel weights.

I must admit I lusted after the 1800ES in my early years as a bass player. It was about the only sporty car that seemed like it could fit bass gear.
No idea what an 1800 ES is...... guess they weren't popular in my early years.
My High School parking lot (class of 1985) was full of hot rods...... probably 7 or 8 second generation Camaros, a Chevelle or three, couple Torinos, a 68 Dart with a nasty 340 under the hood, a lifted 78 Bronco, a convertible 70 Skylark and a Cutlass or two thrown in for good measure.
Fast forward to 2026 and I still have the 81 Camaro I drove in 1985.
I owned one of those for a few years! It was a magnificent highway cruiser.
A white T5 with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Nice! I think my neighbor's was a manual as well. I loved the stag emblem on the hood.
When I was 17 I was in an old Volvo wagon my dad let me drive. I forget what model or year. It was about 2AM, and I was sitting in the car with this girl I was seeing in the driveway of her parent's house. We said goodnight, and I went to turn on the engine, which was already on, and made that awful noise that happens when you do that. All the lights in the house came on, she ran out, I panicked and pulled out of the driveway fast, cutting the wheel too soon, and I destroyed a line of bushes on the side of the driveway, tearing up the paint job on the side of the car. I claimed ignorance the next day to my dad, who didn't believe me and took the keys.Still considering it for this one
