Ten years later, Stephen Wynne, a Texas mechanic, established his own company under the DeLorean Motor name. Wynne's company refurbishes some of the 9,000 DMC-12 models sold during the original company's brief run.
But a recent change passed by Congress will allow the Humble, Texas-based company to make new DeLoreans for the first time in 34 years.
The legislation enables low-volume manufacturers to produce replicas of older cars without conforming to all safety requirements that apply to conventional automakers.
“It’s a game-changer for us. We’ve been wanting this to happen,” Wynne told KPRC-TV in Houston.
Wynne estimates that his current inventory of parts could allow the company to make about 300 new DeLoreans.
The new models are expected to cost nearly $100,000 and go on sale early next year.
