trilogy, "Back to the Future," a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12. This car has
fewer than 900 miles on the clock, 603 of them accumulated over 28
years and has overall, this car has been excellently preserved,
have been lovingly stored from new. With recent news that the
DeLorean Motor Company in 2017 is going to reproduce a low-volume
of DeLorean cars with a price rumored to be around the $100k mark,
now is your chance to obtain the original DeLorean with only�879
original miles for much less than the up and coming reproduction!
Under the rear hood is a 2.85L V-6 engine designed and built by
Peugeot-Renault-Volvo under a special contract with the DeLorean
Motor Company. Dressed in gleaming stainless steel, the car's body
is in fantastic shape. The windshield and other glass panels are
clear and crack-free. The car's lights are in similar condition.
The car rolls on Cooper Cobra Radial GT tires, size 235/60R15 and
factory wheel covers. All of the car's body panels are straight,
the rear-mounted engine bay is tidy and the battery appears new.
The DMC-12's suspension is the four-wheel�independent type
with�coil springs and telescopic�shock absorbers. The front
suspension used�double wishbones, while the rear was
a�multi-link�setup. In its original development stages, the car is
said to have handled quite well. Design drawings clearly show that
the design met NHTSA minimum bumper and headlight heights of the
time. Steering was�rack and pinion, with an overall�steering
ratio�of 14.9:1, giving 2.65 turns lock-to-lock and a 35-foot
turning circle. DMC-12s were originally fitted with�cast
alloy�wheels, measuring 14 by 6 inches wide on the front and 15 by
8 inches wide on the rear. Because the DeLorean is a�rear engine
vehicle, the DMC-12 has a 35%-65% front-rear weight distribution.
The DMC-12 features power-assisted�disc brakes�on all wheels, with
10-inch rotors in front and 10.5-inch in the rear. Inside, the gray
seats are in excellent shape, as are the matching carpet, the
headliner and dashboard. The factory three-spoke steering wheel,
door panels, mirrors, center console and gear shifter. Completing
the interior is a factory AM/FM stereo with cassette. The�DeLorean
DMC-12 was a�sports car�manufactured by�John DeLorean's�DeLorean
Motor Company�for the American market from 1981-1983. The car
features�gull-wing doors�and an innovative fiberglass body
structure with a steel backbone chassis, along with external
brushed�stainless steel�body panels. The gullwing doors, when
opening, only require 11 inches clearance outside the line of the
car, making opening and closing the doors in crowded spaces
relatively easy. The first prototype appeared in October 1976.
Production officially began in 1981 in�Dunmurry, a suburb of
southwest�Belfast, Northern Ireland, where the first DMC-12 rolled
off the production line on January 21. Over the course of
production, several features of the car were changed, such as the
hood style, wheels and interior. About 9,000 DMC-12s were made
before production halted in early 1983. In 2007, about 6,500
DeLorean Motor cars were believed still to exist. Documentation
includes original owner's manual, owner's manual cover, stainless
steel car care kit, DeLorean Tech Owner's Guide and Parts Manual
and miscellaneous parts. This car is currently located at our
facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer
shows 879 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear
