Description:
Up for sale is a 1981, 5 speed manual Delorean Time Machine Replica.
Anyone who knows these
vehicles will instantly see the value in this car. The car has been
meticulously maintained with a lot of attention to detail given to create as
accurate a replica as possible.
Background:
I
imported this vehicle to Australia approximately 7 years ago from the Chicago
area. A full frame-off restoration was carried out prior to making the decision
to convert the vehicle into a time machine replica 4 years ago; this included
cleaning up the chassis and the repair of any rust spots. The engine was also
partially stripped to allow the valley to be cleaned and treated. While the body
of the car was separated from the chassis, all new parts were fitted (see listing
below).
The car
runs and drives well and sounds impressive. Wherever you happen to be, the
Delorean draws in a lot of attention with peopling crowding around for photos. The
car has been featured in many magazine and newspaper articles across South East
Queensland, also attracting radio interviews, photo-shoots and different types
of events.
