Description

Up for sale, I have my 1981 DeLorean. I've have owned for just over 4 years now. It saddens me to sell as I love this car, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

Early production - April 1981. Has it's gas flap hood, dark wheels, and windshield with antennae embedded. Originally sold in Illinois to a MN buyer, it stayed in MN until I purchased.
Exterior is very good original. A few scratches in the stainless, and one small ding - in the middle of the hood (I can only find it in certain lighting it's about a pin head size..

Mechanical and electrical has been gone over by DMC Midwest in Crystal Lake IL. Over $20,000 in parts and labor spent there over the last 4 years. Aside from the few items already mentioned it has all gone into the mechanicals and electrical to make this a good solid reliable driver. The past two winters I've driven the car the 330 miles from Des Moines to Crystal Lake in the fall to drop it off and back again in the spring. I've driven this locally on many 100+ mile loops around central Iowa. Car is performing beautifully.

Stainless overflow tank. Belts and seals - no oil leakage. Fuel system and gas tank cleaned out 1st year as it had sat in indoor storage for approx. 10 years before my purchase. Previous owner has painted any spots on chassis that epoxy has come off to protect.
