Many DeLorean parts - famously excluding the left fender - are still available as NOS from the company that bought John DeLorean's factory.

In fact, there are still complete, servicable engines _and chassis_ available. And the chassis are already registered with a VIN, so when built can be sold as a new 1984 model year vehicle.

Just to be clear, you really stomped on my Back to the Future joke, weak as it was.

Great Scott! This is heavy. If we go back 60 minutes, maybe your joke still lands.

Curious what's the issue with the left fender

[SoftTalker]

Probably a frequently damaged part, it's the part that will be hit first if you pull out into the path of another car.

If I remember correctly, it was the next part to be manufactured en mass before the factory shut down. They'd do a few days of X part, another few days of Y part, etc, in rotation. Another part of the factory was assembling the complete vehicles from the parts in stock.
