DELOREAN DMC-12 TWIN TURBO, VERY RARE TO FIND ONE OF THESE TWIN TURBO MODELS IN EXCELLENT AND CLEAN CONDITION. AN ISLAND TWIN TURBO MODEL SHOWS UP ON EBAY EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS AND THEY ARE GONE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.THIS CAR IS MOSTLY ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THE TWIN TURBO CONVERSION THAT WAS DONE AROUND 1985 BY AN ISLAND CERTIFIED SHOP, HAS 2 IHI TURBOS THAT WORK PERFECTLY. THE TWO BLUE CYLINDERS YOU SEE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ARE THE OIL RESEVOIRS USED TO CONTINUE FEEDING THE TURBOS DURING OPERATION. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS. I BOUGHT IT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE REPLACED THE FULL BRAKING SYSTEM, NEW CLUTCH KIT WITH STAINLESS STEEL BRAIDED LINE MASTER AND SLAVE CYLINDERS REPLACED. THE FUEL DISTRIBUTOR HAS BEEN REWORKED BY SPECIAL T AUTO TO DELIVER 15% MORE FUEL UNDER TURBO BOOST. THE POWER IS TRULY STRONG AND SMOOTH. ENGINE RUNS VERY WELL. HIGH OIL PRESSURE AND COMPRESSION. NO DETONATION AT ANY POINT NOR DOES IT SMOKE AT ALL. ALWAYS RUNS COOL.ALL THE LIGHTS ARE WORKING AND THE DOOR MARKER LIGHTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED WITH LEDs FROM DELOREAN MOTOR COMPANY. ALL THE INSTRUMENTS WORK AND NUMBERS ON THE GAUGES ARE BRIGHT WHITE AND SHARP RED NOT SUN FADED OR BROWN IN COLOR. IT HAS THE 170 MPH SPEDOMETER. I HAVE TAKEN IT UP TO 125MPH WITH RELATIVE EASE AND HAD MORE POWER LEFT. THE RADIO AND ANTENNA WORK FINE, SHIFTS SMOOTH, WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN EASY, ONE MAY BE SLIGHTLY OFF THE TRACK BUT OPERATES FINE. POWER MIRRORS BOTH WORK SMOOTH. ALL SIX LIFTING STRUTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. ALL DOOR SEALS ARE ORIGINAL AND ARE VERY SOFT. DOORS CLOSE PERFECTLY NOT DAMAGING THE SEALS NOR BINDING. ALL SEAMS ARE VERY WELL ALLIGNED.ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS CLEAN. STEERING IS TIGHT ONLY NEEDS STEERING BUSHING WHICH I WILL INCLUDE. THE DASH BOARD IS PERFECT AND SO IS THE BINACLE. ALL ORIGINAL NO RECOVERD ANYTHING! THE SEATS ARE THE ORIGINAL ONES AND HAVE BEEN PRESERVED WELL BY USING LEATHER CONDITIONER AND THE SHEEP SKIN COVERS WHICH ARE INCLUDED. CARPETS ARE FINE NO WEAR JUST A FEW MARKS/LITE STAINS BUT A GOOD CLEANING MAY DO IT. THE GLOVE BOX IS AS SMOOTH AS NEW. THE COURTESTY LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. WINDOW ROCKER SWITCHES ARE LIKE NEW AS WELL AS THE REAR DEFROSTER WORKS AS IT SHOULD. ALL PLASTIC EXTERIOR PARTS ARE NOT SUN FADED NOT BRITTLE. THE CAR SITS ON A MATCHING SET OF YOKOHAMA TIRES WITH LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON THEM. THE RIMS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION STILL WITH A GOOD FACTORY CLEAR COAT ON THEM.THE FRONT END HAS BEEN LOWERED TO THE CORRECT HEIGHT AND HELPS GREATLY WITH THE HANDELING AT HIGH SPEED. AND ALSO IT LOOKS CORRECT IN HEIGHT. THE BODY IS IS EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH MAYBE A PEA SIZE DING ON THE HOOD THAT IS NOT EVEN NOTICEABLE. CAR HAS THE HOT AIR DAM FROM SPECIAL T AUTO AS WELL AS OTHER GOODIES. THE FUSE BOX IS PERFECT NO MELT DOWNS NOR BYPASSED FUSES. HERE ARE THE ITEMS THAT NEED ATTENTION. THE A/C HOLDS A CHARGE FOR ABOUT 30 DAYS AND THEN THE COMPRESSOR BEGINS TO CYCLE. SO IT NEEDS A NEW EVAPORATOR WHICH I WILL INCLUDE THE ENTIRE NEW REPLACEMENT KIT( EVAPORATOR, LARGE OREFICE TUBE. ORINGS, WRAPPING TAPE AND ACCUMULATOR) NEXT THE HEADLINER ON THE CENTER CEILING PANEL NEEDS TO BE REFRESHED. I HAVE THE MATCHING MATERIAL WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ON THE DOOR CEILINGS. THIS IS A $10.00 PROJECT(NOTHING TO BUY BUT SOME CONTACT CEMENT) . THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER SHOULD BE REPLACED TO PROPERLY EQUALIZE THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE IN THE LINE AND FULLY RELEASE THE CLUTCH.(I WILL INCLUDE ANOTHER CLUTCH MASTER AS WELL) THE CLUTCH, PRESSURS PALRE ANT t/o BEARING WRE REPLACED ABOUT 500 MILES AGO. LASTLY THE FRONT FACIA SHOWS A LITTLE BROWING BUT THIS IS RESOLVED BY INSERTING AND EPOXYING A SMALL RECTANGULAR ROD OR SPAR JUST ABOVE THE LIGHTS AND THE PROBLEM IS FIXED CHEAPLY AND FOR GOOD. IT DRIPS A DROP OF OIL EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS. NOT MUCH MORE TO SAY EXCEPT THAT WHEN YOU DRIVE THIS CAR TO A DELOREAN GATHERING YOU ARE THE STAR. IF YOU EVER GET ON THE HIGHWAY WITH OTHER DELOREANS GUESS WHO WILL PULL AWAY FIRST AND STAY IN FRONT. NOTHING LIKE THE RUSH AND SOUND OF THE TWIN TURBOS SPOOLING UP. THE TURBO BOOST HAS BEEN SET TO LIMIT AT 7 lbs OR 1/2 BAR THIS IS THE SAFE AMOUNT THAT THE ENGINE WILL WITHSTAND WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. THIS IS TRULY A RARE FIND AND LOW MILEAGE CAR. DON'T LET IT GET AWAY. NEW OWNER MUST PICK UP OR ARRANGE TO HAVE THE CAR TRANSPORTED NO LATER THAN 7 DAYS FROM THE PURCHASE DATE. I WILL ASSIST WITH THE SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS IF NEEDED. TITLE IS FREE AND CLEAR. COMES WITH TWO SETS OF KEYS, ORIGINAL DELOREAN CAR COVER, DELOREAN CLEANING KIT IN BOX AND ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL AND FULL SET OF DELOREAN BOOKS, . PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. I AM INCLUDING EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO CHERRY OUT THE CAR, NOTHING ADDITIONAL TO BUY. DON'T LET ANYONE SCARE YOU,THIS IS THE WAY TO GO. THE ENGINE AND TURBOS ARE LOW MAINTENANCE NOT MUCH NEEEDS TO BE DONE TO IT. A STAGE TWO ENGINE CONVERSION WILL RUN YOU HALF THE PRICE OF A DELOREAN ALONE. HERE YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL FOR MUCH LESS.On Jun-06-11 at 06:22:49 PDT, seller added the following information: I HAVE BEEN ASKED ABOUT THE HORSEPOWER AND PERFORMANCE. CLAIMS ARE THAT THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE FOM 0-60 IN 6.2 SECONDS WHICH FEELS ABOUT RIGHT. HORSEPOWER IS AT APPROXIMATELY 200HP . ALSO INCLUDED IS A SET OF DMC GRAY MATCHING MATS WITH THE LOGO DMC EMBROIDERED ON THE CORNER.On Jun-07-11 at 23:36:28 PDT, seller added the following information: rappelu Store
