DeLorean DMC-12 (1981)
for sale

Price: US $38,000.00
You are bidding on a completely original, low
mileage and low owner 1981 DeLorean DMC-12. Black leather interior with Automatic transmission, original black body stripe
and only 20, 422 miles.
This particular car being VIN# 1893 is a very
early 1981 production model making it one of the very first produced. As such it has all of the desirable early
production differences to the later cars (dark grey wheels, fuel flap hood, integrated radio antennae, etc.), making it one of the most sought after and collectable
of all DeLoreans.
The exterior of the car is in very good condition. The stainless steel itself and by far the most
important aspect of the DeLorean, is essentially flawless. Difficult to find in these cars as they are
getting older. The painted parts (front
and rear bumper) and Louvres also present well, but would need a freshening to
make them Concours quality. All painted
wheels and glass are also in nice shape.
The
interior of the car (seats, cockpit, carpet, door panels and dash) are also in
very good condition. The dash top and
binnacle both have absolutely no cracking or fading whatsoever. Extremely difficult to find in almost any DeLorean. The black leather seats show very little wear
as would be expected of a low mileage car with just the right amount of
patina. Of course the factory radio, original keys as well as the rest of the interior is original and in working
order. DMC floor mats are also present
and show well.
Mechanically the car runs and drives as would be
expected. It starts easily, idles great
and runs strong with the transmission and brakes all working as they
should. Lights, gauges, etc. are also
all working properly. The engine
compartment is neat and tidy and looks as though it just left the factory still
sporting its original plastic coolant bottle.
All 5 factory wheels are present and in good condition
while riding on practically new P195/60R14 front and P215/65R15 rear Road
Hugger Radial G/T tires. Although no
longer shod with the factory NCT tires, they do still come with the car. Could be used for future Concours events or
simply to attest to the cars overall originality.
Included as well are all original owner’s
manuals and factory documentation including service manual and factory workshop
manual as well as factory stainless steel detailing kit.
