for sale

Price: US $24,000.00

Description:

Here's my 1981 DeLorean which was purchased new in 1984 by the original owner. My dad and I have been the only owners since the original owner and for the last 18 months the car has been at DeLorean Motor Company Midwest for a very detailed and very extensive restoration. The restoration was completed this month (August 2015) and the car is the single best driving DeLorean I've ever had the pleasure of driving. I personally picked up the car in Crystal Lake, IL (outside Chicago) and drove it to Cleveland. I then drove it to Detroit for business and back to Cleveland. Last week I drove to my work residence in Baltimore which is where it's been my daily driver since picking it up in Chicago on nice days, of which we've had plenty. All lights, gauges and buttons work properly and the car sounds, handles and drives fantastic.
For a more comprehensive list of everything completed/replaced/updated please contact me as it would be my pleasure to send it to you. This restoration ran $25, 000 as I spared no expense. This car was a rare find, it was literally purchased, driven over the course of 25 years only 5, 000 miles and then it just sat in the original owner's garage. It's been in a garage the entire time it's been titled as I have secure parking garages both at home and at work and DeLorean kept it indoors throughout the restoration period. Also available (and included with purchase) is an appraisal from DeLorean Motor Company Midwest, window sticker, owner's manual, 3 sets of working and cut keys, original schematics and proof of the VIN and original ownership. Here are the more common questions answered as it relates to a DeLorean restoration:Miles are correct however I am driving it so please contact me for an exact mileage reading should another 200 - 500 +/- be an issue for youAll new and correct seals and weather stripping everywhereAll new brakes and rebuilt brake systemAll new hosesAll new beltsAll new DMC struts for doors, bonnet and rear louversAll new tiresAll new headlinerNo dash cracksAll clutch and transmission work completedAll engine work completedAll chassis and frame work completedAll exhaust work completedThere's been absolutely no cosmetic (stainless work, leather glue work, etc) work done on the car whatsoever (including the engine)Depending on your definition of the above, I did have the instrument cluster re-wrapped at DeLorean as the original owner had velcro on it, for a radar detector apparently, and it was impossible to remove without ruining the dash so I replaced it but again, at DeLoreanI've included pictures of the underside of the vehicle while on the lift from the end of July 2015 and they do a beautiful job of showing the thoroughness and quality of the work performed on the car not to mention the fresh DMC labels on the components thus proving everything is correct and proper, as described.
