ProClip is a two-part phone mounting system made to fit your exact make, model, and year vehicle. The mounting base clips into the existing vehicle dashboard seams for a solid and secure fit. The car mount is combined with a device-specific phone holder made to fit the latest iPhone and Android smartphones. ProClip is built with high-quality materials that last longer than your average low-quality suction cup or cup holder mount.
In this video, I bought an abandoned Delorean that sat untouched for 32 years! I've wanted one of these cars forever and I finally found a barn-find type of car that I can restore. I love the Back To Future Movies and this car seriously means a lot to me so I hope you really enjoy this series.

Alex, I’m a GM tech. The specs for that engine are 152kPa (22 psi) at 1000rpm 207kPa (30 psi) at 2000rpm 228kPa (33 psi) at 3000rpm And that is with the engine hot. That applies for both 6.0, the L96 and the LC8

As a current long time owner I can tell you there is incredible support from the owner community. DO NOT try and start it until you have gone through the ENTIRE fuel system. The painted cars generally had body damage. There are 3 Gold cars, two as part of an AMEX promotion and the third assembled from the spare gold panels. Unfortunately if you paid 33K for it, you are not going to be happy with the final cost.

I’m 44 and I’ve wanted a Delorean so bad since I was about 5! 1983 or so. I got the chance to drive one in ~2002. Not much power but not as bad as I thought it would be. I so wish I had bought one about 10-15 years ago when a running fixer upper could be bought for $20ish thousand or so. Can’t wait to see more videos on you fixing up your brand used Delorean! Congratulations! Please keep this one forever!

Alex, that kindness with the young girl and her mom confirms you're a class act all the way around.. love to see people putting positivity out into the world(we need more of that from everyone)

Oil pressure should be higher... we've had issue with the oil pick up tube oring getting hard and sucking air . We usually use a melling hp oil pump and oring to fix and future proof our fleet ...we have just replaced the oring and been good to go also but we do the pump to cause it's a fleet

Awesome, yes, that young girl getting to see that car was worth the price!!! I started crying. Can't wait to see the rest of this journey. Thanks for the ride!

This is going to be an epic series! Congrats on the ultimate "barn find" !!!
-
This is the single best barn find experience I’ve ever seen. It ticks all the freaking boxes… ✅One Owner, Low Mileage ✅Rare, Oddball Enthusiast Vehicle ✅Blanketed in Decades of Undisturbed Dust ✅Period Promotional Literature Marked Up By the Original Owner ✅Unique & Interesting Personal Effects from Original Owner ✅No Evidence of Rodents or Rust Congrats! It was genuinely an honor to be included in that special moment.

The family spotting the car in the parking lot and the way you welcomed them, I feel like you will be a great steward for this car. Favorite movie car of all time.
-
As a fan of DeLoreans it brings me to tears how happy they make people. Its so inspirational.
-
As a born northern irish citizen we have some amount of pride for the delorean, being from there and all. sadly at the end of the company the guy who owned it tried to start an illegal drug business because it was going bankrupt, when he got found out his assets mightve been seized, so the remaining cars are prolly in some british warehouse. And company is either government owned or long dead.

Never in a million years would I think a DeLorean would be on LSC😂

Tips to backing up a trailer…… rest your right hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Don’t move your hand from the spot. If you wish the back of the trailer to go to the left, take your hand that is on the steering wheel at the bottom and move it to the left. Vice versa for the right your hand to the right back of the trailer goes to the right.

I'm really happy for you... Congratulations on the new / old DeLorean. It was fun to watch the reception you and your car received in the parking lot. You're already bringing joy to the hearts of everyone who sees it. 😊 Way to go!
-
The kindness you showed that young girl and her mom was quite heartwarming! Good luck with the project, hope it turns out well.

My express 6.0 oil pressure was idling around 18 and was slowly getting worse. Got around 25 psi at cruising speed and barely 30 at full throttle. Replaced oil pickup tube and swapped to the recommended acdelco gold oil filter and now I get 21 at idle and around 30-33 cruising and 40+ at full throttle. I'd start with those 2 items, easy enough.

That kid getting excited over the DeLorean made me happier than I ever would've thought
-
Your smile during this entire project is infectious. It shows how happy and excited you really are, and I'm happy for you.
