1981 DeLorean DMC

Description

Possibly the most famous production car of it's era & a true 80's Icon thanks to it's use as a time machine in the Back to the Future movies. Built by John DeLorean, the self named DeLorean Motor Car was the only DeLorean model ever built in its short 2 year run. DeLorean was a designer of many well know historic cars including Pontiac's GTO. The concept started in 1976 and was partially funded by Hollywood Celebrities such as Johnny...Carson. Many changes were made during its 5 year developing stages but the two most distinctive traits remained the same. That was the Gulwing doors and the Stainless Steel Body. The production halted in 1982 after the company filed bankruptcy following John DeLorean's arrest for drug trafficking. While the unused parts were sold off, it is said that the production molds were dumped into the ocean so the car could never be duplicated. Only 9200 were produced of which 6500 still exist. Our car only has 21K actual miles and is a late 81 model with and October production date.
