Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present a beautiful example of
this very rare and internationally desirable 1981 model example of
an original southern California 1981 Delorean DMC 12 with its
original matching #'s engine which has obviously always been
garaged with no history of any accidents or damage in great daily
driving condition!The car boasts 4 wheel independent suspensions,
Gullwing doors, factory air conditioning, power assisted 4 wheel
disc brakes, power windows, power locks amp; mirrors, tilt and
telescopic steering wheel, tinted glass, AM/FM stereo cassette,
electric rear defroster, cast alloy wheels, digital clock and the
optional 5 speed manual transmission!The car was originally sold to
a southern California owner and has been mechanically restored as
required over the years by its most recent long time California
owner using only genuine Delorean Motor Company DMC OEM parts with
service records and original selling dealer manuals etc available.
The car has been well maintained and rebuilt/restored as necessary
over the years and remarkably there are no splits in the car's
leather seats which remain still supple, all the gauges and
switches are working and the carpeting is not worn.The Delorean's
utilize a fiberglass underbody to which the stainless steel panels
are bolted and are powered by a Peugeot/Renault/Volvo cast aluminum
174c.i. V6 engine mated to either a 3 speed automatic or 5 speed
manual transmission. Absolutely none of the cars were painted at
the factory. The light weight structure is glass reinforced plastic
with totally rust proof stainless steel skins which will last
forever. Over the years many cars have traveled past the 200K miles
mark, a testament to the cars durability. Some have been sadly left
to waste away or have been abused but then there are the few, like
this particular example, that have been lovingly garaged and well
maintained for future generations to collect and enjoy. This is a
rare opportunity to own a 1981 Delorean DMC 12 still boasting most
of its original specifications intact including its original
matching #'s engine with a 5 speed manual transmission and Gray
leather interior! To buy, restore and get running such a car today
would require the assistance of a very understanding banker, at
best, and to find one like this particular southern California
unrestored very original and stock example in such fine running and
cosmetic shape is truly a remarkable find indeed!
