WooHoo John Deloren was indeed the man!
He was working for Pontiac's design team in 1962 when they came out with the undepowered pathetic 6 cyl economy model called the Tempest. Being a naturally creative fellow he looked at the big 396 3x2 barrel big block pontiac being used for their biggest cars.. and then at that 3200lb Tempest... and the rest, as they say, was Muscle City history. He built the Car in the Pontiac design building in Detroit and employees used to sign it out to go drag racing in the streets for money. After Fistfights broke out over who got the car next his car was given out as a one off test production concept. They became so insanely popular the GTO was one of the first full production Muscle cars of the sixties.
And yes- the DMC Delorean made him a collectors favorite.
Deja-Vu is there anywhere I can find out information on this new DMC car? sounds like a high powered Saturn to me
