Good afternoon Veeky Forums. I don't usually come here, but I had a question, and you guys are the best to answer it.
Long and short, I want a DeLorean... Or, rather, an electric car with a DeLorean body.
I realize how insane the request may sound, but I want to know where to start my quest. Can I buy a body kit for this? Does the DmC still exist in any major degree? Is there such a thing as an electric car frame on which to put a body? What kind of budget will I need?

Any help is appreciated.

fuck off

It's a real question, I'm not trolling, or anything.
I'm legitimately curious.

DeLoreans are fucking garbage. Unless you're a midget, you're going to feel severely cramped. The panel gap is laughable on most of the cars, especially the later ones. The stock engine and transmission are both anemic as fuck.

They're horrible cars.

Engine woes won't be an issue, Again, I want a DeLorean body on top of an Electric car, essentially. Where do I start?

Doesn't Matt Farah have a video about exactly what you're talking about? Fucking go search that you helpless cunt.
Also this

Matt Farah? I'm looking it up now, thanks!

Well, I'm seeing that the DeLorean is a bad car, I get that.
But what if I just want it to LOOK like one?
Can I get a body to go over something? An electric base? Where can I get a body to do that? Can I order a kit for one?

Just get a better 80s sports car. Literally any American sports car from the 80s will perform better.

I'm looking for an electric car with a 1980s Aesthetic. DeLorean seemed the best looking, but, in your idea, is there another body kit for an 80s car that is easier to get?

No, get the delorean.

here mother fucker. get a porsche 944 and go crazy.

Cool, that was my initial plan anyway. But, how do I get the body for it, and what is the process for putting it on an electric car frame and/or converting it?

EV deloreans are already a thing
and it's basically an improvement since the original engine is shitty garbage

Tens of thousands of dollars for an extremely cramped car with horrible build quality. Just get yourself a hollowed out 80s Nissan Pulsar for a few hundred dollars.

It isn't rocket science man. You need to buy a fucking Delorean and then gut it. You're probably looking at anywhere from $20k-$30k for an OK condition one. I hope you have some decent autobody skills because you'll have a great opportunity to clean it up once the engine and transmission are out.

You must be a big city American, liberal to a fault and obsessed with 80s pop culture.

This. Also OP is definitely from plebbit.

Just drop an LS in it and get it over with.
Electric a shit.

meanwhile
this thing exists

I don't really know why anyone ever wanted such a thing even then let alone now but buy a 1980 Bradley GT II electric car
