DeLorean on display at Aiken Cruise-In draws attention
Owner Greg Hall showcases his rare 1982 DeLorean DMC 12 at the Horsepower Cruise-In on Laurens Street. Hall notes the car’s scarcity with around 6,000 remaining from an 9,000 produced, and says a buyer could need about 25,000 to acquire one. He found the car in 1993 via Auto Trader and keeps it mostly stock, driving about once a week when possible.
