So the LA Times ran an article with an interview with James of DMC (Houston):

The article mentions DMC (Houston) will be building new cars. I believe James has mentioned in the past they’ll need to make new fiberglass underbodies since their supply is low. I believe this means new VIN tags. Which translates into “New DeLoreans.” This caught the attention of several other news outlets including Slashdot:

Get ready to read several hundred flux capacitor, 1.21 Gigawatts, plutonium, and cocaine jokes, and several other comments about how the car was a poor performer and all around disaster. Nothing that hasn’t been beaten to death before.
There are many DeLoreans available in any condition – just check ebay, and the for sale listings on various DeLorean websites. If you want one, you can find it. I believe the market for new DeLoreans would be minimal, and a DMC (Houston) refurbished DeLorean is completed mostly with news parts anyway. I don’t think we’re going to see “New DeLoreans” anytime soon.
DMCTalk.com has a good discussion going on this topic: http://www.dmctalk.com/showthread.php?t=6597
Still, I’ve had several people over the last few days say they’ve heard about the new DeLoreans coming soon. Whatever.
