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.
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.
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.
