Description:

Up for auction is a very nice 1981 Delorean DMC-12.
No expense spared in maintaining, restoring and upgrading this iconic car. I have receipts totaling over $42k since I purchased the car in 1994. I am the second owner of this car and you will not find a more reliable, better street driving Delorean. I've owned this Delorean for 21 years and it has always been garaged and serviced exclusively by DMC Houston.
I have personally put over 120k miles on this Delorean and enjoyed every mile. Everything is fully sorted on this car and can be driven anywhere. Don't be fooled by low mileage Deloreans that have been sitting for years… They will require $$k to make them road worthy and daily drivers.
This car has been meticulously maintained and full service has been performed as needed including all new hoses, belts, fluids, lubes, et. This Delorean is truly my pride and joy. After 21 years of proud ownership it's like a member of the family. I can’t stand the thought of parting with her, but it’s time to move on...

I assure you this is one of the finest, most road worthy Deloreans you’ll come across. Just in time for summer cruises! - If you’ve always wanted a Delorean, one that you can truly drive and enjoy, this is the one. I used this car as my daily driver in the past and have taken it on many trips coast to coast and border to border. Everything is sorted. That being said, keep in mind this a 35 year old classic vehicle and anything could happen, but I wouldn’t hesitate to drive her anywhere… Either fly in and drive home or have it shipped to your location. I can work with your transport company to arrange pick up.
Remember, if you are the high bidder you are purchasing this vehicle, not for the opportunity to come out and look at it and then decide whether you want it or not. Don’t waste your or my time, please ask questions up front. I encourage inspections PRIOR to purchase.
If you are genuinely interested in this Delorean, please email me any questions you may have and I’ll do my best to answer them promptly. As I stated earlier, I will make the vehicle available for local inspection prior to purchase. The Delorean is located in the North Dallas Texas area. This Delorean needs nothing but a proud new owner. Fly in and drive home.
The vehicle is being sold as is, where is. No warranty is expressed or implied. Shipping and associated costs are the sole responsibly of the new owner. All funds must clear my bank before vehicle leaves my possession. $1000 deposit required within 72 hours of auction close.
