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.
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.
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.
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.
