Background Story of this 1981 DeLorean DMC 12

Overview of 1981 DeLorean DMC 12 For Sale by Owner

One of the most definitive cars of the Eighties, the brainchild of John Zachary DeLorean is immortalized forever by its prominent place as the time machine in the Back To The Future film franchise. It's estimated that just 8,975 cars were produced in total, making this highly desirable car quite rare too. That's why we're proud to present this 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 for sale, with just 13,214 miles on the odometer and a host of replacements and enhancements. Will you be its next owner? We know we don't have to ask twice, but let us tell you more about this amazing, numbers-matching car.

Exterior and Interior

The silver exterior appearance of this 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 is not painted. Nope, it's the actual look of the stainless steel body that was one of the car's defining features. There are plenty of other defining features as well, such as the quad headlamps, cubed rear lamps, slatted rear window, and turbine-style wheels with reportedly new tires. The aforementioned headlamps are reportedly new H4 low and high-beam units and look as such. Now, let us take you through one of the most stunning things, and that's the gullwing doors. Supported by a single gas strut, they almost appear to float above the car with poise and grace. Couple that with the forward-hinged hood and rear liftgate, and a DMC-12 with all these items open looks like something from the future. A spacecraft, if you will. Like its exterior, the cabin was chock-full of features that were considered groundbreaking in its heyday. These include power windows, power mirrors, and a seven-position climate control system. The current owner also reports an upgraded audio system, and our eagle eyes spot it to be an Alpine radio CD received with CD changer control. Finally, a new alarm system is reported to keep this precious automobile safe from thieves.

Engine

If there was one area that the DMC-12 could use a boost, it's in the power department. All DMC-12s, including this 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, have a 2.9L PRV (Peugeot-Renault-Volvo) V6 behind their passenger cabin, generating 130hp and 153lb-ft. However, this car uses a 5-speed manual transmission to send power to the rear wheels, ensuring that it's a bit sprightlier than automatic variants. This car has reportedly received a recent oil change, as well as a new suspension and new brakes.

PENDING SALE
$159,999
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.

PENDING SALE
$95,999
SOLD

If you’ve watched, or even heard of the franchise ‘Back To The Future’, the DeLorean time machine was undoubtedly the star. This futuristic car was the brainchild of automotive legend John Zachary DeLorean and the sports car that he created for the world. Ironically, the fact that the cars did not sell well when brand new, and the entire DeLorean venture was clouded in controversy would result in a car that is a cult icon today, highly desirable and attaining collector status. What better way to join the bandwagon than buy this 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 Turbo from Louisiana that’s got just 21,100 miles on it and comes with a clean history? Take a chance on it, and own a piece of American automotive history that was created by the same man who created greats such as the Pontiac GTO.

1959 Chevrolet Corvette

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$114,999

Designed by the legendary Harley Earl, the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette heralded an era of American automotive greatness that continues today, eight generations and more than seventy years later. Introduced in 1953 as an all-American two-seat sports car, the C1 went through several developmental hurdles before maturing into the beautifully refined machine seen here. By 1959, the Corvette had already received its important 1958 facelift—adding quad headlamps, heavy chrome detailing, and factory-installed seatbelts—making models from this period especially desirable. This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette, finished in Roman Red with iconic White Coves and located in Florida, represents one of the finest ways to experience the facelifted C1 era. Subjected to a complete show-quality preservation showing under 100 miles since completion, it blends timeless Corvette heritage with tasteful upgrades that enhance drivability while keeping the car’s classic character intact.
