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!
