ordered with the optional 3 speed automatic transmission!The car
was originally sold to it's original southern California owner from
'Clem Ruh Chevrolet' of Canoga Park, CA on 12/10/1982 where it was
maintained as required over the years using only genuine Delorean
Motor Company DMC OEM parts at the renown 'Delorean One' of
Chatsworth CA and which was continued when sold to its most recent
long time southern California owner who then primarily serviced the
car at the renown 'DeLorean Motor Company' of Huntington Beach, CA
where it recently received a clean bill of health with receipts
showing that at no time was any expense spared on this particular
car's preventive maintenance. The car has also boasts a clean
Carfax report.The car will be sold with it's original service
records and original window sticker and selling dealer manuals etc.
As previously stated the car has been supremely well maintained 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, with only 16K original miles and that have
been lovingly garaged and well maintained for future generations to
collect and enjoy. This is a rare opportunity to own a simply
stunning 1981 Delorean DMC 12 still boasting all of its original
specifications intact including its original matching #'s engine
matched to a 3 speed automatic transmission and Black leather
interior with only 16K original miles and all service records and
dealers manuals and collectibles since new!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!
