Vehicle Detail
Delorean DMC-12, VIN # scedt26t5bd002155 . This car is in very good condition inside and out, especially for a car that is nearly 30 years old. The car had close to 20K put in repairs less than 1000 miles ago, all work was completed at DMC Humble (Houston). Even though production of these cars ended nearly three decades ago parts are very easily obtained through The Delorean Company (yes the company still exists and is located in Humble, Texas...a far departure from the company’s Belfast, Ireland origins). Parts are relatively inexpensive and arrive surprisingly quickly so there is no concern of parts being obsolete, practically every part you will ever need for this car is a single phone call or click away. This car has a clean title backed by a spotless Carfax/Autocheck so bid with confidence.-Exterior- The body is all original and is in excellent condition. The stainless steel skin in immaculate, the body is nearly flawless, the only inperfection is on the nose of the car were there in a light discoloration (pictured). The two areas on the body that were actually painted by the factory were the front and rear fascias, This gullwing doors operate with ease, and stay up as the gas struts are brand new. All the glass is nice and clear with no hazing, though the front windshield does have a small crack near the rear view mirror, this has come around and will not progress further. This car was kept under a car cover and garaged all of it's life which shows in the quality of this car. Tires are brand new, with close to 95-100% of the tread remaining and the rims are in very good condition with no scratches or curb rash. The Wheels were painted and machined by DMC Houston when it was there last.-Interior- The grey leather interior is excellent condition with absolutely no blemishes split seams or other imperfections... there is no sign of any wear whatsoever. The headliner is brand new, was professionally installed in August and looks great (it was replaced due to the original material beginning to sag). There are NO strange smells or odors which is sometimes common in older cars which have been stored for extended. The only flaw on the interior is that the switches stick from time to time and will need to be cleaned or replaced.-Engine & transmission- The original 2.85 litre 6 cylinder engine starts up on the first try and runs strong as ever Previous owner had a turbo put on so the car is surprisingly quick for a Delorean. The clutch is strong and transmission shifts through the gears with no slippage. There are no strange noises or vibrations from the engine or drivetrain. Overall this car is in very good condition with very few easily addressed flaws.Please look at the pictures, they quite accurately represent the condition of this car, either way bid with confidence, you will not be disappointed.
