Roads? Where we are going, we don't need roads...
For your viewing and bidding pleasure go Back to the Future
with this immaculate 1981 DeLorean DMC-12. This car is an amazing one owner, rust
free California car that has less than 23K documented miles on it. Garaged from
the start and maintained to impeccable standards. From its gull-wing doors, fiberglass chassis, and brushed stainless steel body; this DeLorean is truly a stunner.
Once you settle in you will notice the all black interior is
in clean and tidy condition with no signs of wear on the seats or carpet. DMC offered
strictly monochromatic leather inside their futuristic creation and, accordingly, this 12's clean cabin is decked in factory-fresh Black. Lift the
orange and red-lit doors and a plush driving environment kicks off with a pair of
comfy bucket seats. A clean dash anchors correct gauges above the climate
control and original DMC audio. Below the dash, a stitched leather console
centers a tastefully updated shifter and factory power window switches on clean
carpet that's protected by black, DMC branded floor mats. In front
of the driver, a leather-wrapped, 3-spoke steering wheel laps a fixed column.
Behind the passengers, a netted cargo hold features enough room to stash
essentials. And up front, a forward-tilt bonnet reveals four cubic feet of
storage space.
Starting easily from cold
the idle does hunt until it warms up. The 5-speed manual gearbox is smooth and
shifts very well. The brakes are firm
and the car pulls up straight. The parking brake holds very well. The engine
which has a very nice healthy sound to it, holds good oil pressure and good
temperature with no signs of overheating.
All gauges work, indicators self cancel, windshield wipers, headlights hi
and low beam, side lights, brake lights, hazard
lights, and horn are all functional. The
radio and air conditioning are also working great! The body of the car is rust
free and all lines are very straight. The stainless steel panels are in
excellent condition with only a few very minor scratches.
All the paperwork has been kept nice and neat along with all
the maintenance records. As stated above it is a one owner car, and the owner
has been extremely diligent in keeping all records.
If you love Delorean's then this is the one for you.
Everything works, it runs great, looks great, feels great! It is rare to find a
first year production DeLorean in this condition so don't delay and get your
hands on a piece of history. It will provide the new owner with a really cool car
that can be enjoyed for years to come and if looked after will only appreciate
in value especially with the new DeLorean's about to come back into production.
As always I would advise inspecting the car in person if at all possible, it
will not disappoint. Please call for an appointment or with any questions
(310) 833 1525 Mon – Fri 7:30am to 5:00pm Pacific time.
My descriptions are in depth on purpose and give an honest
evaluation of the car. I have sold dozens of classic cars on ebay with
only positive feedback, thanks for looking.
