1981 AMC DeLorean

Gullwing doors, stainless steel construction, and a special fiberglass substructure set the DeLorean apart from other cars of its era, but it was never the sales success John DeLorean wished it to be, with financial problems and allegations of drug trafficking finally spelling the end for DeLorean's company and the futuristic-looking sports car in 1983. These cars are reliable, and although their V6 engines produce only about 140 hp in stock trim, they can be modified for greater output, and parts are plentiful.
