Overview of 1981 DeLorean DMC 12 For Sale by Owner

Back To The Future Fans, rejoice! We’ve got a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 for sale today. Coming to you in all its resplendent stainless steel glory, this gullwing doored machine rocks just 4,548 miles on the clock! Introduced in 1981 and produced for just two years, the car was the brainchild of John Z. DeLorean. If the name is familiar, he’s one of the men responsible for the Pontiac GTO in the Sixties! DeLorean founded his own company in the early Eighties, asked renowned automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro to design the car’s exterior, and went into production. However, various internal and external factors meant that this space-age machine was discontinued by 1983. In total, over 7,500 were made, making this a pretty exclusive machine to own. This car currently resides in Parkland, Florida, and awaits a new owner.

Exterior and Interior

The stainless steel body panels are unpainted, and left the factory this way. If you encounter a painted DeLorean, it’s been done after leaving the factory, and somewhat reduces its appeal. So, it’s good that this 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 remains as DeLorean intended. Even the wheels are the original turbine-style units, and beneath the stainless steel body lies a fiberglass underbody. Black side moldings, quad headlamps and cube-styled taillamps are further features of interest. The black interior of this 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 is highly specified for the time, as DeLorean intended it to be a luxury grand tourer. So, you’ve got power windows, a seven-position climate control system, and plush leather seats. This particular car also bears some interesting interior customizations to make it resemble Doc Brown’s Time Machine. It’s also got an aftermarket audio player to help you listen to modern music with ease.

Engine

The futuristic looks of this 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 give way to a rather simpler, albeit easier to maintain powerplant. From the factory itself, all DeLoreans came with this 2.8-liter PRV (Peugeut Renault Volvo) V6 engine. Rated at 130hp and 156lb-ft, it’s still got decent power for an Eighties car. Buyers were offered 5-speed manual or 3-speed automatic transmission choices; this car comes with the latter. Rear-wheel drive, power steering and power disc brakes are also standard.

John Z. DeLorean, the man who gave us the Pontiac GTO is perhaps best known for this creation of his, the DMC DeLorean, also called the DeLorean DMC 12. With space-age stainless steel panels, a Giugiaro-penned design and some truly futuristic elements, the car was worthy enough to be featured as the Time Machine in the Back To The Future franchise. It’s said that around 9,000 were made, although accurate production numbers are difficult to come by. That means when one comes on the market, you don’t delay. So you’d better not waste any time getting your mitts on this 34,758-mile 1981 DeLorean DMC 12 from New Mexico. The car is of the manual transmission-equipped variant which really helps make the most of that mid-mounted 2.8-liter V6. That, and the infinite coolness plus desirability factor mean that you’ll likely never get a chance to own a DeLorean again if you miss this one.

SOLD

We at Exotic Car Trader are thrilled to offer you a chance to go back to the future. If it made little sense to you, it means that the vehicle on this listing is a replica of the time machine that appears in the famous film "Back to the Future." Because of how well-received the film was, two more parts of the movie featuring the same unaltered car were produced. The car that was used to build this time machine is a retrofitted 1982 DeLorean DMC-12. Fans of the film began making replicas of the same machine, and here is one such example. With just 11,000 miles on the clock, this 1982 DeLorean DMC-12 time machine is currently located in Montana.

$35,000

The 1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-Door Sedan captures the long, low, unmistakable style that made Chevrolet’s full-size cars such icons of the 1960s. Showing approximately 28,076 miles, this example combines a 327ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, while power steering and power brakes make it considerably easier to enjoy from behind the wheel. Finished in Red over a Black interior, it also benefits from tasteful modern upgrades including aftermarket coilover suspension and a Bluetooth-capable sound system, adding usability without taking away from the car’s classic character.

This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s second-generation F-body and gives it a much more aggressive enthusiast-focused personality. Showing approximately 752 miles, this example combines a 383ci stroker V8 with a 750 CFM Holley 4-barrel carburetor and a 4-speed manual transmission, giving it the kind of old-school muscle-car formula that puts driver involvement front and center. Finished in Black with custom Purple & Red flame graphics, this Camaro also features a Hurst shifter, Grant GT steering wheel, aftermarket gauges, and a number of exterior and audio upgrades that give it a distinctly custom-built character.

$50,500

The 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II Hardtop is the kind of Mopar that gets enthusiasts interested before the hood is even opened. Its clean B-body lines, pillarless hardtop profile, Soft Yellow paint, black vinyl roof, and Magnum 500-style wheels give it the restrained factory muscle look of the mid-1960s, but this example carries much more serious hardware underneath. Showing approximately 91,610 miles, it is powered by a 440ci big-block V8 backed by a TorqueFlite 727 automatic, giving it the kind of drivetrain combination that feels right at home in a classic Plymouth. Add power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, and a dual exhaust system, and this Belvedere blends old-school Mopar attitude with enough comfort to make it more than just a weekend bruiser.
