wrkey Report post Posted March 31, 2017 Bought this about a year and half ago and this shot was taken last year as I headed for Dallas and the Texas Pinball Festival. This coach was well taken care of and had 45k miles on her when I bought her. She has a 454 and automatic trans. Fully self contained and everything worked (after I replaced the hot water heater and fixed a few minor issues) until about a month ago and I started having Miss-Fire problems (thread in Engines forum). Queen bed in back, shower on right, toilet and sink on right. Stove, oven and microwave and a surprisingly large fridge. Fold out couch plus dining table forward. Above drivers area is a drop down bed. Pull out gas grill which I didn't know it had until I started opening the outside compartments to see what was in there! I named her Eileen because she has functional leveling jacks but they tend to 'sag' after a while so she leans a little from time to time. Love having the RV and she has been to 5 pinball festivals, 2 pinball tournaments, 4 camp outs, 3 2-week stays at the antique market in Round Top Texas and most recently a round trip from Houston to San Francisco (4,200 miles) in 10 days to help my Daughter and my son-in-law move as he is not stationed there with the US Coast Guard. Once I get the timing problem resolved we will be out running again.. gotta get her fixed before May 20th with my middle daughter graduations from UT!

hermanmullins Report post Posted April 2, 2017 I have loved the DeLorean since it can out, even when John got into trouble. I still do, just to old to crawl in and out of one. By the way, on the trailer how are you able to open the Gull Winged doors? I can only see the passengers side, do you have more room the driver side?

aztec7fan Report post Posted April 2, 2017 A 1991 allegro bay was our first motorhome. Loved that rig! That 454 engine should be very reliable for you. Chris G. F3508s P.s. here is my gull wing door car. Not a delorean, but similar... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillAdams Report post Posted April 2, 2017 Not really similar to a DeLorean when it's a kit car based upon something like a VW chassis but that does not make it any less fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blakeloke Report post Posted April 3, 2017 Rusty, We are neighbors! If you run into a wall with your engine give Ross a call at Town Center Automotive. He services our coach (mechanical) and is a close friend. They are on I45 just south of the Woodlands Parkway and North of Sawdust. Blake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted April 3, 2017 Wonderful to see a couple of retro's, including the AZTEC, have a buddy with a AZTEC fitted with a Porsche engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jleamont Report post Posted April 4, 2017 That's a generic photo, mine is in pieces. I began the restoration project 3 years ago and lost interest. Thought about selling it, not sure. I don't know who's body it is but the odd part is the 64 Corvair chassis under it with 110 HP Chevrolet engine, not a VW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrkey Report post Posted April 5, 2017 To answer some of the questions. The space needed to open the doors on a DeLorean are less than that needed for a regular car. Instead of opening away from the car as 'normal doors' do, they open upward and above the car thus requiring only about 9". The UHaul auto transport trailers have hinged finders on the driver side so you can lower fender if needed to open the door of the car on the trailer. Yes that was the parking lot you think it is, it is also where the Arcade I co-own is located (The Game Preserve). The kit cars are really cool. My son and I put one together during his senior year and the photo of that car is attached. It is a replica of a 1937 SS-100 Jaguar and sits on a custom chassis with a Mustang II suspension, V6 and 4 speed. The other photo is of Li'l Red in front of Eileen. Li'l Red is a 1967 Austin Healey Sprite with a 'few' modifications. Under the hood is a small block Chevy 350 from a '69 Camaro, Turbo-350 auto, a ford 9" rear end and custom speed hut gauges. The photo was taken after my trip to San Francisco and back and I was desperately wanting to drive something smaller and a bit quicker than Eileen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
