2. Car of the week
My personal pick of the week!
1981 DELOREAN DMC-12
Final bid: $38,250
The DeLorean DMC-12 is loved by car enthusiasts from all over the world, but in reality, it was a truly horrible car. The car’s performance was poor. Its reliability was even worse. Its build quality was shameful. It was ridiculously overpriced. The company went broke, and the boss went to jail.
And then it became one of the great cult cars of all time. Iconic time machine from smash-hit movie Back to the Future!
