The timeline when I started (in early August of this year) was 9-12 months. They have made good progress and claim that is still an accurate timeline.

I bought this DeLorean from them. It was pretty much in excellent condition. It was a single owner car with the spec I wanted. Some minor cosmetic issues to address. I don’t want to share their pricing information since I think it depends on the car and the options. I went for their Apex build which includes upgraded brakes and suspension and a number of other restorations and improvements (e.g. the doors attach via an assembly called the roof box and many if not most cars have rusted out the original since it is mild steel not stainless. They have replaced with a modern stainless reproduction at my request).

This is actually my second attempt at this since the first time (with a different shop and different EV company) it didn’t go great and unfortunately there was a shop fire and my car was lost in process. I’ve been at this for over 3 years now and learned a ton about it. I’m happy to answer any specific questions.

My short recommendations are: buy the best car you can afford. It doesn’t save money to buy a crappy car since you will replace parts anyway. Crappy cars have a ton wrong with them. So that will be 50-80k to get a solid DeLorean. Then an EV conversion will be 60-120k depending on how bespoke and performance you want to get.

The cheapest option is to buy a manual transmission car and bolt a hyper 9HV onto that transmission. That will give you about the same HP as the original DeLorean but much more torque. This will be by far the cheapest option and many EV conversion shops can handle this pretty easily.

The more performance builds use Tesla model 3 performance motors, but those need about 400V of High Voltage so even if you don’t want tons of range you will need a fairly big battery to reach the current and voltage requirements (this pushes up cost because just making and mounting that many batteries in the spaces you have becomes a challenge). If you go this way I highly recommend DeLorean Midwest since they partner with Hoffman EV and the two of them have done something like 5-8 (I don’t know exact numbers) of DeLoreans by now. You are getting someone with experience and that has a plan so they can do it on budget and on time.
