In both cases, the government even went as far as to try to put them in prison for made up charges. If it weren't for Larry Flint, DeLorean probably would have spent the rest of his life in prison.

..and then they flew away in a black helicopter...

There was not actually any cocaine on him at all. I'm sure you have watched the video. Larry Flint actually went to prison for refusing to identify who leaked a copy of the video to him. But the video clearly shows that he walked into the room, the FBI busted in and arrested him, all while the drugs were in a bag on the other side of the room. He never even touched the drugs. The jury in the case agreed, and he was acquited without even having a single witness testify on his behalf.

If Flint had not leaked the video, he would have been convicted since it would have been the FBI's word against his.

New York Times, November 2, 1983: FLYNT ARRESTED ON REFUSAL TO YIELD TAPES OF DELOREAN TO COURT

BBC: 1984: DeLorean cleared of drugs charges

Former car maker John DeLorean has been cleared of all charges against him at his drug trafficking trial in Los Angeles.

The jury of six men and six women reached unanimous verdicts on all eight counts after nearly 29 hours of deliberations.

Mr DeLorean's wife, the model Christina Ferrare, sobbed with joy as the verdicts were read out.

Mr DeLorean was arrested in October 1982 and charged with conspiring to smuggle $24m (£15m) worth of cocaine into the US.

The FBI claimed he wanted the money to bail out his bankrupt car plant in northern Ireland.

The acquittal will be seen a major embarrassment for the prosecution which had seemed to have a water-tight case.

A key element of its evidence was a videotape showing Mr DeLorean discussing the drugs deal with undercover FBI agents.

During the trial Mr DeLorean's lawyer argued that his client had been 'entrapped'.

He said the agents had cajoled Mr DeLorean into a position that made it look as if he had committed a crime.

More interesting then good or bad...Personally i don't like my Deloreans without a Flux Capacitor installed

The only time I have seen a delorean look good was a saw a lowered one painted black once it was very hard to identify what it was at first as it is so rare to see a DMC that is painted.

If I was looking for a 40 to 60k car with a tt V6 I would take a Noble

You see I told you so...It was a conspiracy. The CIA used the FBI to do the dirty work and then gave DeLorean a secret potion that made him "discuss the drugs with agents". The quality character of Larry Flint the porn king came to the rescue which proved that DeLorean did not have the 24 million dollars of cocaine in his pocket or on his person. It was actually in a bag on the other side of the room so he couldn't be guilty. I can't count the amount of times there has been 24 million dollars of cocaine lying around when I was chatting about selling it to under cover agents.

We almost let that one get past the forum.
