So you can either buy a near-perfect original for ~$25,000, or a look-alike replica for possibly "less than $100,000." This has all the earmarks of a bad business plan.

Well, they will refurbish an existing car for $25,000 -$40,000.
Or you can buy a new one, built from scratch with NOS body parts, but it has to meet today's EPA standards. Which means a new engine. Which is probably a good thing as the engine in the original ones was a POS.

Hi
Amazing, the answer to the automotive question no one ask. Or, is this just another case of "Back to the Future"? Recalling what a flop they were new and how they turn up at every collector car auction to shrugs, it hard to imagine why anyone would want new or remanufactured one. Well, as a friend says 'There's a butt for every seat". What's next, a Bricklin revival? Steve

A nice original DMC sold at BJ auction yesterday for $25K. They have been hovering around $20K for years. Neat styling with gull-wing doors. More attractive now that there are new replacement parts available. Owner improvements over the years make one of them more attractive than an original car. I can see where a DMC would be a fun collector car for driving around, tours, and local shows. JMPO.
