Rare Rides: The 1983 DeLorean DMC-12 - a Gold-plated Opportunity?

The DeLorean DMC-12 is forever linked to the classic film Back to the Future, where the stainless steel wonder was converted into a conveyance for the purposes of time travel. But the silver screen was not the only place the DMC-12 underwent a transformation. A certain credit card company had a PR stunt in mind that saw the DeLorean plated with 24-carat gold.

Our Rare Ride today is what happens when a private owner attempts the same thing.

Bkojote Smart move if the financials work, considering the R3 has way more excitement around it than just about any Tesla product, as Tesla only seems to only excite tech illiterate guys who lost their wives mortgaging their house to buy bored apes.If Apple does in fact tie up with Rivian Tesla's goose is ultra-cooked.
