General Notes / Description:

This particular example is a true Model Year 1983 and is one of the last produced, the assembly having been completed in August of 1982.
The car was delivered new over the Thanksgiving weekend of that year and was believed to have been lost or sold in the mid 1990s. It wasn’t seen again until the original owner died in 2007. A month after his passing, an heir (the present owner) received a call from a storage facility in Austin, Texas, regarding a certain unpainted car in one of their units... it was this DeLorean and it had been sitting in the unit, covered in boxes and such for more than 10 years while its owner had been living in Costa Rica as an Ex-patriot, estranged from his family.
The heir had the car serviced and prepared for the road and drove the car from Austin to the Silicon Valley where he lived. Last November, the owner moved with his family to Fallbrook, CA where the owner plans to gradually restore the car to its original state.
