Description for DeLorean DMC - 12 1981
The time has come to sell "the dream". I am the third owner of this excellent example of the 1981 DeLorean Motor Company DMC-12. Ideal grey interior, anual transmission. Clean title. Has ALWAYS been stored indoors and under a car cover when not being driven. I have only driven the car around town a few times a year, he farthest I've ever gone in it was SLC. I know for a fact that the previous owner did the same once it came here from California 20 years ago or so.I have kept this car as original as possible, hile replacing and updating "known to fail" parts with the best possible replacements/upgrades (all from DMC Texas), ncluding:
**New/upgraded fuel pump
**New fuel tank
**Upgraded Eibach suspension (custom springs and shocks made specifically for the DeLorean from Eibach)
**New gas struts on all doors and hinges
**New/upgraded Bosch relays and fuses
**New tires, br> **Battery kill switch
**Coolant flushed
**New stainless braided fuel lines and clutch lines
**New weather stripping (still in box)
**New black DMC floormats
**New master cylinder
**New slave cylinder
**New fuel pressure accumlulator
**New leather shift boot
**New ball joints (just in case, till in box)
*A/C is charged with the old R12 freon and blows ICE cold.
*Leather in GREAT shape as it has rarely seen the son. No tears, o rips.
With these replacements/upgrades, he DeLorean has become very reliable and a joy to drive. The only thing that is not flawless with this car is center headliner is starting to sag ever so slightly.
The only issue I ever have (intermittently) with it is often referred to as the "hot start" issue. Occasionally, ut not every time I drive it, f I have been driving it for a while and then shut it off for 20 minutes or so, nd then start it again, t will crank for about 10 seconds before it starts. The fuel accumulator I replaced was supposedly the solution to this problem, nd after talking with DMC NW, t appears this is just a common issue amongst most DeLoreans that just must be dealt with.
This car means a lot to me and I've taken the best care of it possible, you will not be disappointed. It has been a lifelong goal of mine to own one and now I feel it's time for someone elses dream to come true. Please feel free to call, ext, r email anytime. I am willing to talk price. Make me an offer. As John DeLorean would say, Live the Dream".
