there are hood grooves but no gas flap, there is a good 3" of crap on the car, the louvers were very heavily weighed down











interior looks nice, i found it funny there is a box that may have a car cover inside it. not much else in there, an aftermarket deck. the binnicle looks uncracked too













frame looks good too, there wasnt any room for me to stick my head down there, who know what lives under it





------------------

A friend of mine found this DeLorean abandoned in a forest here in northern California. He learned about the car from local rumors, and after a lot of work he found it. Thought you guys would be interested in this.I hope you enjoy!![/QUOTE][/QUOTE][/QUOTE]there are hood grooves but no gas flap, there is a good 3" of crap on the car, the louvers were very heavily weighed downinterior looks nice, i found it funny there is a box that may have a car cover inside it. not much else in there, an aftermarket deck. the binnicle looks uncracked tooframe looks good too, there wasnt any room for me to stick my head down there, who know what lives under it------------------ [This message has been edited by DeLorean00 (edited 10-18-2009).] IP: Logged 07:20 PM

Yep already ran it. Not stolen, and my friend is trying to get ahold of the owners to buy the car. So far no luck. He has their names and contact info, through a unnamed law enforcement source.

I agree. The car is on private property way out in the sticks. I believe there is a house somewhere on the other side of the property.

The great part about this car is its totally saveable. If you gave me that car in one day I could have it looking new again. Give me a week and it would be totally road worthy. And I could do all this and a full service, complete all the updates, full detail, new tires, and new fuel system for under $5000. The great part about this car is its totally saveable.

Its on private property, so the best guess is the owner of the property just needed a place to park it, so they randomly parked it in their forest. Seriously its in a totally random spot, not even a cleared area. It would take a full day with a chain saw to clear enough stuff to get the car out of there.

Member since May 2006 Really reminds me of how I came about my 86 GT. A friend of mine said his buddy had this old Fiero he'd give free to a good home. Went out to have a look and there she was under a stand of pine trees with needles and bird poo all over her. A year of working on her part time and she was on the road again.



You'll likely find a good number of rodent nests inside that machine if you get it. Behind my tail lights the bay was stuffed full of mouse nests. Check for chewed through wiring as well.



Hope you get it! IP: Logged 07:25 AM

Oh, way to go, DeLorean! when you found the car and touched it, the future skewed off, and now there is an alternate 2009. There is a woman knocking at my door wanting child support. I always wanted to stay single with no children. Thanks a lot, buddy!



I really hope that someone can save the car. I hate to see what is classified as an exotic sitting in the woods. One of the reasons that I got into Fieros, was seeing squirt sitting on a Buy Here Pay Here lot, and she looked so out of place along side the other cars. She just looked like she needed a loving home, so I gave her one. She will be taken care of as long as I am alive. She's not going anywhere.



Please keep us updated on what you find out. I would love to know also.

Member since Feb 2001 Love the shots. It is really like something from BTTF.



It kinda reminds me of a car we found up in the mountains near my place once. It was a mid 20s something. Hard to tell what make at the time, but it had a tree growing up through the middle of it. A very larg, very old tree. No track leading to or from it. I would love to know the story behind how it got there. IP: Logged 06:40 PM
