1981 DMC Delorean
I'm not an expert on the car but I always wanted one. I purchased this Delorean in Florida about five years ago. It was not in running condition at the time. Its been sitting at my mechanics ever since. I had so many projects, this Delorean sat in the back burner until now. Throughout the years, my mechanic did manage to work on it here and there. The first thing he did was remove the fuel tank and bladder and cleaned it out thoroughly. This took a while. Next, an updated fuel pump and fuel sending unit from DMC Bonita Springs were installed (see pictures). New struts (DMC Bonita Springs) were installed for trunk lid, both doors and hood. The engine was started, and the pressure was good but it would not stay on for more than a few minutes. I'm not too sure what might be stopping it. My mechanic was about to remove the bolt to the header to investigate further when I stopped him and just decided to sell it.
There are no parts missing that I'm aware of. Yes, I have the bottom cup of the steering column and those buttons in the center console. No rust damage or cracks on the glass. There are cracks on the dash.
I've always wanted to own one of these cars but I figure paying off my debts are more of a necessity for me right now.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my mobile at 305.335.1638, Michael.

Used
“A previous owner had painted the Delorean white at some point and eventually is was taken off. This is all prior to my purchasing it. You can still see some paint flakes on the edges and of course the white front and rear bumper. You'll see from the pictures the front and rear fender shows some dimples and sand marks. I'm guessing it was related to the removal of the paint. I know it is possible to remove the fenders and rub with the grain of the steel to remove all this.”
