This red, dealer-painted DeLorean has been well maintained and driven regularly since 2009. I have owned this DeLorean for two years, and another for 10. While owning two DeLoreans was fun, it is time to sell Red and give somebody else a chance to “Live the Dream”.

“Red” has turned a few heads over the years, as the previous owner did some fun and unique modifications to make this already beautifully painted DeLorean stand out even more. The paint is in excellent condition with only a couple minor imperfections. The car is also in excellent mechanical condition. I will include a semi-complete service history dating back to the mid 1990’s. Most of the work was done by either DMC-H or DMC-CA before my ownership.

“Red” is a well-performing DeLorean that has always been stored in a garage, and has made the trip from Fresno to the Bay Area, to Southern California, and Las Vegas with no major issues. It is a ‘turn-key’ car – ready to drive away.
