Twin-engine DeLorean – click above for high-res gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nWhy is it that people feel compelled to do silly things to DeLoreans? At least this one hasn’t been totally ruined by making it another “Back To The Future<\/em>” tribute car to manifest its owner’s fawning lack of originality. This particular DMC-12 doesn’t want for ingenuity, just pop the hood. No, not the rear engine hatch, where you’d expect to find an underwhelming PRV V6, but the compartment up front that used to be the trunk. <\/p>\n

Why is there a 2.0-liter Honda engine stuck in front? Well, it teams with the 8.2-liter Cadillac engine out back, of course. The Caddy motor isn’t included in the auction, curiously, but it is available for an extra sum. Reading through the seller’s comprehensive information clearly points out that the car wasn’t a concours example before the swap, and settling for a simple restoration wasn’t going to happen. So you end up with a DeLorean with an aggregate of twelve cylinders, none in stock form. The car isn’t perfect, but hey, what do you want for a current bid price of $6,100? Thanks for the tip, flyingaero!<\/em><\/p>\n
