Vehicle Detail

Life is changing, must sell! Make me an offer. The time has come to sell "the dream". I am the third owner of this excellent example of the 1981 DeLorean Motor Company DMC-12. Ideal grey interior, manual transmission. Clean title. Has ALWAYS been stored indoors and under a car cover when not being driven. I have only driven the car around town a few times a year, the farthest I've ever gone in it was SLC. I know for a fact that the previous owner did the same once it came here from California 20 years ago or so. I have kept this car as original as possible, while replacing and updating "known to fail" parts with the best possible replacements/upgrades (all "new old stock" official DeLorean parts from DMC Texas), including: **New/upgraded fuel pump **New fuel tank **Upgraded Eibach suspension (custom springs and shocks made specifically for the DeLorean from Eibach) **New gas struts on all doors and hinges **New/upgraded Bosch relays and fuses **New tires, **Battery kill switch **Coolant flushed **New stainless braided fuel lines and clutch lines **New weather stripping (still in box) **New black DMC floormats **New master cylinder **New slave cylinder **New fuel pressure accumlulator **New leather shift boot **New ball joints (just in case, still in box) *A/C is charged with the old R12 freon and blows ICE cold. *Leather in GREAT shape as it has rarely seen the son. No tears, no rips. With these replacements/upgrades, the DeLorean has become very reliable and a joy to drive. The only thing that is not flawless with this car is center headliner is starting to sag ever so slightly. The only issue I ever have (intermittently) with it is often referred to as the "hot start" issue. Occasionally, but not every time I drive it, If I have been driving it for a while and then shut it off for 20 minutes or so, and then start it again, it will crank for about 10 seconds before it starts. The fuel accumulator I replaced was supposedly the solution to this problem, and after talking with DMC NW, it appears there just needs to be two O-rings replaced that will completely remedy the problem. This car means a lot to me and I've taken the best care of it possible, you will not be disappointed. It has been a lifelong goal of mine to own one and now I feel it's time for someone elses dream to come true. Please feel free to call, text, or email anytime. I am willing to talk price. Make me an offer. As John DeLorean would say, "Live the Dream". *Buyer responsible for shipping costs.
