On another forum we are trying to figure out what the car is sitting in front of the Camaro (and it's not the DeLorean 
). This pic is from Australia.

That's an ED-chassis Ford Falcon, ~1994 or so. Looks like an XR6 or XR8 model.
edit: Could be an EB, actually.

After my own digging it's an EB Ford Falcon.

I crashed one of those when I was 16, (daft kid on empty dirt road = poorly controlled shenanigans).

In reply to mad_machine:
Except the EB Falcon was RWD and could be had with either an Inline 6 or 5.0 V8 mated to a manual trans.
I like the 270 hp GT myself.

Was this at a car meet or something? Weird to think those two cars (the DMC and the Camaro) just randomly showed up in a parking lot together. I think there are about 15 Deloreans in Australia total.

One of the guys on my Forum just stopped at the auto parts store. So yes, they just happened to be there at the same time.

I've heard of Nissan RB engines being swapped into these. Common?
Or am i thinking of old Commodores?

Old Commodores. The VL Commodore came with an RB30 from the factory.

I dunno..the back reminds me of an Oldsmobile Achieva.. can you really make up for that?
