SOLD - 81 DeLorean for sale

Postby dmcjohn » Wed Apr 06, 2011 3:56 pm

Hi guys,

I thought I'd never do this, but I am possibly going to sell my "good" DeLorean. I bought it in 2002 from a guy in Pennsylvania, owned it for a while in Boston before shipping it home to Ireland when I moved home later that year.

In 2005/2006 it got a frame off, and so it has a galvanised chassis in her - you might have seen the restoration blog on the website. The chassis is still 100% perfect.

It's running very well and has a brand new set of tyres (fitted 3 weeks ago). It is a 5 speed with black leather - dash and binnacle are perfect, seats show some wear. It currently has about 30,000 miles on the clock. It also has brand new brake calipers fitted, lower front springs, sports shocks, lockzilla, fanzilla, and comes with DMC-NW's remote door opening kit and wireless entry.

The stainless is in good shape, but it does have a small ding above the beltline on the passenger door. The bumpers need to be repainted (but are in really good shape - no sagging, no eyebrows, very good panel gaps etc) and the headliners need to be done.

I've never had a problem with the car running - always starts first time and has plenty of power. The only issue I ever had was a failed spark plug thread in cylinder 5, which was since repaired (happened during Shanefest!).

If anyone is interested, it'll have a full NCT, or I'll arrange for an MOT on it for a UK buyer. I can post pics of any area of interest.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, please get in touch!

Thanks,
John

PS: just to confirm, this is a 2 seater DMC, not a 4 seater! :D

Sorry to see your having to sell John, at least any buyer can be rest assured it's a "sorted" car and the chassis will never rust away!
