Not only is it great that there still is a DeLorean Motor Company in existence, providing parts, service, restorations, and upgrades for the classic DMC-12 – the real star of the Back to the Future trilogy – but they have a sense of humor too!
Try going to their parts search page and looking up part number 18851985 *snicker*
You can also look up 19852015 and find a similarly humorous part.
I didn’t try this myself, but others who have reported back that if you attempt to order these parts, you will receive the following message:
ERROR 1985: We don’t take money, we don’t take fame. You don’t need no credit card to ride this train.
Classic!
Thanks, Autoblog.
Great Scott!
Whenever I hear that phrase I think of the “Back to the Future” movies!
Dude, it’s even better than you thought. When searching for 18851985 I get:
18851985 Flux Capacitor
When searching for 19852015, I get the following:
19852015 Hover Conversion
19852015A MR. FUSION HOME ENERGY REACTOR
Love it!
