A BUNCH. Property, building equipment - 9 figures worth, but much less a distressed merchandise. A lot will depend if GM actually WANTS the Kappa to continue, even in someone elses  hands.

I think the creditors committee will have at least as much say as the debtor-in-possession, GM.

 You folks take the written word much to serious, I did say John got a bad rap.

 Heh the guy was a trendsetter and had a helluva career but I place the odds of a successful commercial venture selling low cost two seat roadsters in the U.S right now under the DeLorean brand right up there with the Detroit Tigers winning the world series this year. Noticed what the U.S economy looks like?  Figure there is a big market overseas, doubt it, not unless you have a very foreign brand name say like Porsche. 

 Here a pic I took at the Detroit Woodward Dream cruise this summer... 40,000 classic cars cruisin for the weekend.

..I think your confusing Delorean with Bricklin...Delorean got a big brake from Northern Ireland to build the cars there..Bricklin conned the Government in New Brunswick to pay the Bricklin factory to be built there..on a side note Malcom Bricklin was responsible for bringing Subaru to the US..
