This awesome DeLorean is an August build of 1981; Black Interior, Grooved Hood-No Flap, 5-Speed Manual. Odometer reading is just shy of 41K miles, and is an Arizona car from at least the early to mid 1990s. The factory wheels are also polished with a wheel lock key. I consider this kind of a Milestone Car as a small design change to the windshield happened around this vin #2712 which is kinda cool. This information is also in the Knowledge Base section on the DMC website under the Windshields category.
This car was last registered in 1997. I purchased the car from an estate auction earlier in the year as a non-running vehicle with no keys. Since then, Ive brought the vehicle back to life and it does all the basics. I've been driving it around our neighborhood but I wouldn't call it highway ready just yet. It still needs tuned and dialed in better, hence the running and driving project heading. Windshield would need to be replaced (sucks that its cracked, but I left it as is, because its original and it is the first from the design change mentioned above.) Interior needs restored (seats, door panels, headliner, etc) Air conditioning, Power windows and blower motor are currently inoperable. The trunk area carpet board/liner are also missing. Exterior has some fading to the bumpers and black trim pieces. Underneath the car is very solid, no rot or rust but had lots of cob webs,lol.
- I had new Ignition Keys (2) cut per key code under headliner/VIN and had to update the lock cylinders to the later style locks to keep everything matching.
- I cleaned out the fuel tank by hand, and flushed the feed & return fuel lines front to rear. I installed the latest updated fuel pump assembly from DMC Houston (all parts purchased from them) along with the accumulator, fuel filter, and fuel distributor. Currantly running premium fuel with a bottle of Seafoam.
- Cooling system flushed out, New Water Pump kit with all Intake O-rings, gaskets & pieces parts that came with it. New Thermostat, Otter Stat, Rad Cap, Upper & Lower hoses, and Coolant of corse.
- Clutch Hydraulics gone through, and the reservoir was cleaned out with new supply hose. I also installed a new Clutch Master Cylinder, Clutch Slave Cylinder and stainless feed line.
- Brake system gone through: New Master Cylinder & Reservoir was cleaned, along with new brake hoses at all 4 wheels, and all 4 brake calipers rebuilt, rotors machined, system flushed.
- New Battery (Interstate from Costco)
- New Matching Toyo Tires all around, 195/60R14 front, 225/60R15 Rear (235s no longer available for matching). This is what DMC Houston advised to use, per their Knowledge Base Tire Section.
- Drive belts, idler pulley bearings also replaced
- Replaced all the fuses & relays and fan fail fused jumper
- New Fuel Cap (original was locking on a non-flap hood)
- Angle drive unit & lower cable kit
- Changed the Engine oil with the proper weight 20w50 and Bosh oil filter
- New Engine air filter, also removed the Stove box hot air intake piping and installed the free flow air tube
- All Door, Trunk and Louver struts replaced
Overall the car is fairly complete and has the potential to be great when its done. The value on these cars keeps increasing every year. This one just needs the love and attention to take it to the next level. Asking $25,000/ Serious inquires only please, Thanks... Call or Text for more details (623) 206-two-six-zero-six
