Year: 1981	I purchased this car back in 2006, within that time I have spent much time and money into adding and updating, yet keeping it as original as possible. The car is in good condition with no oil leaks and a clean title in hand. Work done... Rewired interior lights LED bulbs in the instrument panel, interior, doors and engine bay. Rewired high and low beam at switch with relays. Brake master cylinder, all lines flushed and bled. Wired front marker lights as turn signals. New front signal assemblies. New radiator. All hoses replaced with rubber to and from the radiator. Stainless coolant bottle. New battery in May 2009. New paint on both bumpers, rear louver and engine cover. Replaced clips in front grill and repaired front fascia eyebrow with aluminium supports. Stainless lettering. New stereo, rear speakers and antenna. Rebuilt headlight switch. Lowered front springs. Much work and parts replaced in the fuel injection system. Rebuilt steering rack with replaced steering column cover. Rebuilt clutch pedal linkage. Resealed engine, new gaskets and seals. Replaced exhaust. Sounds great and turns heads. Now the ugly... The dash is cracked. Carpet is worn yet still looks clean. Leather seats needs to be replaced, I have sheepskin covers over them. Steering wheel needs recovering. Drivers side window needs assistance when closing. Two tiny dings, one on the drivers door and one on the hood. Only noticeable in some angles. People do not see them until I point them out. Tail light circuit board will need replacing, living on borrowed time. It currently has 49,500 miles and is a very reliable car as I do drive it at every opportunity. It has never been driven in the snow and I keep it in the garage since I have owned it. Comes with car cover, shop service manuals and schematics. Also all parts taken off, i.e original exhaust. I need to find a good home for my car as I am moving to Australia at the end of the year and I am afraid shipping it would do to much damage. Please e-mail me for questions and photos at yoothamurra@yahoo.com. Thank you for reading. 450

Year: 1981	If you have always wanted a maxed-out restored DeLorean that someone else has done all the work on, now is you chance to own one and save thousands $$$ I began with a neglected D that had a near perfect frame, interior and body. I removed the interior, engine, transmission, suspension and all hoses, brackets, etc. and meticulously cleaned, bead blasted, painted and power coated everything as I carefully reassembled it. Everything worn, nasty, or just old looking was replaced. The car was completed in July of 2006. I have sincedriven it some 5000 miles without any issues. It is ready for you to enjoy. I spared no expense in my rebuild, as you can see from the list below. I have some $35,000 in the car and parts, along with 100’s of man-hours of labor. I have photo documentation of most of the restoration. As you can see from the list, I installed a 140 mph speedometer. The original speedometer had 5800 or so miles on it, but the angle drive was broken and from the records that came with the car, had been since the mid 80’s. The previous owner estimated that it had about 10K miles on it when I bought it. Given the condition of the interior I believed this to be correct. I installed the 140mph unit with 0 miles which now reads 5K. So I believe it to have about 15K miles on it. I presently have five cars. My wife and I agree something must go. I am so meticulous with the DeLorean that I seldom drive it. I want to move on to the next adventure. I am asking only $30,850 for the car and all accessories.

Year: 1982	1982 DeLorean for SALE! 22,000 original miles. Stainless steel exterior. Gray interior. Manual Transmission. Garage kept. I purchased this car in the late 1980's it has been kept in my garage ever since then. It is 100% original - - I did absolutely nothing to this car other than to install a "french tickler" because every time I went to drive the car to a special event (I drove it so infrequently) the battery was always dead. I had the tickler installed to keep the battery charged. I currently have this vehicle in the parking lot of my law office and I can only tell you that the attention it has been getting is beyond belief. Everyday people stop to take pictures of the car and I even had a movie producer call because he wanted to rent it to put it in a film and I declined because I want to "sell" the car. The price of the car is $15,000.00 firm. The only reason I am selling the car is because my wife told me to "get it out of the garage". I am an attorney and know absolutely nothing about cars and I only bought it because I'm smart enough to know its rareity and its a good investment. Location: Michigan Serious inquiries only. I hope I have answered all questions, but if there is anything you need, please contact Lee Roy at (586) 254-5566 or temrowskilaw@comcast.net 434

Year: 1981	Please see http://eskin.com/DeLorean for detailed photos, service history, videos, etc. After owning this DeLorean since 2000, it is now time for me to part with it. I simply don't drive it very much at all, and it would be much better served by someone who can. This DeLorean is between "Very Good" and "Excellent" condition, and has been continually serviced by Rob Grady at P.J. Grady DeLorean. Please see the Repair History page on http://eskin.com/DeLorean for details of all the work I've done on the care while in my care. The price is $27,500. The car is currently available in Greenwich, CT for inspection or test drives (Serious buyers only, please). The odometer just turned over 40,000 miles. I purchased it with about 16,000 miles. This car has been driven round-trip from the Boston area, without incident, to all previous DeLorean Car Show shows (Cleveland, Memphis, Pigeon Forge, and Pheasant Run). At the Memphis show in 2002, #1619 won First-Place in the "Daily Driver" category for its mileage class (20K - 30K) . I've also taken it to several DeLorean Mid-Atlantic events. I am an active member of the DeLorean Mailing List (DMCNEWS), DeLorean Mid-Atlantic, and DMC New England clubs. I would like to see this car go to good, caring, home. This car will be at the DeLorean Car Show in Gettysburg in June and available for inspection/test drives. 428

Year: 1981	My 1981 DeLorean is a Florida native, so it has been free of snow, rock salt, hills and potholes its entire life. I've had it for seven years but now am thinking about a roadster. Wish I had the space to keep the DeLo too. The DeLorean has been garage kept for all seven years, used only as a Sunday driver so it has been in the best of both worlds: infrequent yet regular use. It is in extremely good condition inside and out. It is in fine mechanical condition and very reliable -- starts right up every time. It has new brakes and front tires, and fresh oil always. I installed a fuel filter after I bought it from an ex-DEA agent, and also added partial headliner and radio. The interior is very clean. Push-buttons are a little wobbly but all work. Leather is near perfect. Instrument cover has a couple very small sun cracks but generally in good condition. Car includes lots of extras: Original window sticker and manual, original tool kit and spare tire, custom DeLorean canvas cover and what's left of my DeLorean car care kit is yours, too. +++ Also willing to include assorted DeLorean memorabilia and magazines collected over the years -- including AutoWeek's first review. A Best-of-Show trophy from a local show goes with the car, if u want it. (It also captured a Best Silver Car award at the Silver Anniversary of the Broward County, Fla. Fair.) PRICE: $19,900. Contact Barry Spyker, automotive columnist for The Miami Herald, at 954-389-6854 for more info or to arrange a look.
