It'd be a sweet tow rig if you had the money to buy one of those lift gates like the pro teams have on their trailers

I have a Delorean. I drove this in high school.
Also had a 505HP Grand National. This was my dream car growing up so I bought one.

There used to be a company in Houston- still may be, idk but they bought the rights and were called Delorean Motor Company. They built cars from N.O.S. parts and sold them as new- for $15,000. They were even featured on the history channel. I don't know about y'all, but that IS attainable.

To the Delorean comments.. Yes, i guess you could say they are attainable. SSeater, You are right that company is around today, BUT you guys are way off on the price. Decent Deloreans sell for mid 40's low 50's. Thus unattaibable.. http://delorean.com/for-sale/

Ouch, inflation is a b*tch! I swear ten years ago they were 15k. A lot changes in ten years, though.
EDIT: Ok I must be having a brain fart. Don't know why 15k is in my head, must be a used one I remember seeing.
EDIT EDIT:
posted the wrong video. this is it... Check this out:
I didn't think so either but when I opened the gulwing door girls got in. There wasn't a day I drove in it by myself.

I ALMOST pulled the trigger on a '67 Fairlane 500 a few months before I bought my notch. Original 289/4 spd for $2500. Hindsight - shoulda gone for the classic.
Naaah, Your instincts were correct. You Chose .........Wisely
I've owned two mid 60's Fairlanes. ( One was a Cyclone). Neither of them were worth dreaming about.( But that Galaxy is Very Cool.) They were nice enough cars alright, But the interiors were boring, they handled like junk, they stopped equally bogus (Drums on the 'Lane) Disc/drum on the Cyclone.
It's probably been said here earlier, but so many "dream cars" become not so dreamy after reality sets in. Part of what makes a car fun to own (for me at least) is how nice it is to drive. Some of the 60's dream cars pictured above would be a disapointment to drive after owning and referencing the experience against the Mustang we all own.
I'm sure many of us have the Fox and the DD beater. If that DD is truly deserving of "beater" status, and has worn out suspension, A/C that doesn't work, Is a pig to get going and to try and stop, then you already know what it's like to actually own a mid sixties, mid size 289/2bbl/single exhaust/drum/drum Fairlane 500. Put an FE under the hood, and the Go part is better, but going around the corner, (while sliding all over that mile wide "bucket" seat) and stopping still sucked ass.
Go down to the Classic forum. After they get done fixing all of the rusted crap that comes w/ a 50+ a year old car, Most upgrade just about everything about the cars except the skin.
HMMMMM Now there's a thought...... Wonder if there was a way to build a fox w/ a 60's feel, but still retain all of the current technology that makes it go, handle, and stop

Right again, sir. My dad's '69 Camaro Pacecar is miserable to drive. It stops, but only because its got nice discs all the way around. It goes, but its got a 402 with gobzzzzz of torque. But other than that, it is miserably uncomfortable to drive. Plus he's been working on it for 25 years, doing all the work you mentioned above. (I'll spare the list.)
The one thing that it has that my fox doesn't is the lines in the body. First gen camaro lines are iconic IMO. I looove the big ass on the Galaxie. My fox is light, but that's all I can say about the body that I like, other than its a notch.
