Description

1981 DeLorean VIN 1960, uto, as flap Southern California car. Everything fixed, pdated, epaired, tc that should be done to these cars to make them reliable but also easy and fun to drive... plus a bunch of upgrades to make it as friendly a driver as possible and not feel like a 35 year old car. Over $15K spent in the last two years since I bought it. No issues whatsoever now, can be used as a daily driver without a second thought. All maintenance done at DMC CA, eLorean Restoration… and the previous owner (he passed away, purchased from his estate) was a longtime customer of DeLorean One, id whatever service it ever needed, nd had all the paperwork from there as well. Car was originally purchased at Beverly Hills DeLorean, and still has the license plate frame from it (pretty neat). Stainless is in pristine condition, olished regularly (and obsessively, ust ask my wife) and also regrained at DMC recently.
Matching ALL black interior, ncluding carpets, eadliners, isors, tc in pristine condition with new seat covers from DMC. Binnacle custom recovered, ut one piece so no stitches on the side like others out there. Genuine Momo leather steering wheel (the $300 one, ot the knockoff; still have original in great condition). Stainless shifter plate, lso DMC door sills and rear bumper lettering. All gauges and lights work perfectly, ven the clock. New bulbs in dash. New angle drive. Updated fuses. AC was just recharged (conversion to 134 done) and blows cold. Dave “Bitsyncmaster” LED AC panel that matches the Kenwood head unit (looks very cool and modern). New speakers front (Kickers) and back (Pioneers), ith Kenwood amp and Alpine sub (DMC enclosure behind the seat). It sounds great, ot overwhelming (unless you want it to be). Still have the original Craig radio, hich works! Also has Bluetooth set up so you can use your phone handsfree, ut also listen to Pandora etc through the stereo. LED bulb replacements throughout the car and also new updated LED taillight boards from DMC. SpecialT ground cables as well.
Doors open and close perfectly. No rattles. No leaks (just had a big downfall here last week, o issues). New struts. Wingsaloft keyless entry with alarm and door poppers (a must have). New door/window actuators. New metal door handles which don’t break like the originals so you can’t get in the car (ask me how I know). Replaced all door seals/weatherstripping when I bought it too. Original door pull straps in perfect condition. Side mirror switch updated. Light tint to keep it cool in the sun (makes a huge difference).
Car sits perfectly on Eibach lowered springs and shocks. New bushings too. Handles really well, o much better than stock. Brakes redone with new master cylinder. Stops straight and true. New tires all the way around. New DMC fuel system. Had both the hot and cold start problems, both taken care of. Just had service with new plugs, ires, istributor, filter, tc. Car starts right up, uns great, ever overheats not even in LA traffic. DMC intake. Spec 1 exhaust from DPI which looks and sounds great. Definitely makes a difference from stock, an feel it. Transmission shifts perfectly, o problems; DMC installed new governor. DeLorean Parts Northwest cooling system bleeder kit just installed. Notoriously rusty frame is completely rust free (orig DMC frames almost out of stock). Cleanest I’ve seen other than a new build car from DMC. Just look at the pictures.
If you're serious about these cars, hen hopefully you've done your homework. You know the many issues they have being handbuilt, nd aren't just cars you can pick up and drive around unless you like being stranded or constantly towing it to one of the small handful of DeLorean shops in the world. If you’re looking for a low mileage project that sat in a barn and never driven so you can spend thousands getting into a reliable, njoyable car… then this is not the car for you. I did all that work and then some already. Yes, t has miles on it, 9K… but they are the good kind of miles. Miles that mean all the issues these cars have (and they are plenty) have been taken care of by myself and the previous owner. I didn’t want a car that never was driven or looked after. I wanted a car that I could rely on, and this is what this is. Driving it every day right now and it's fantastic. This will be one of the cars that people talk about having 100K+ miles and still on the road easily. Go to the DMCtalk forum and do your homework about what to look for before you buy one -- mine or somebody else's. Trust me. These are not cars to buy on a whim. If you have done your homework, hen you know how much work and money has gone into this one.
This was not an investment or a flip. I always wanted one, ought it, did everything that ever needed to be done so I could drive it and enjoy it. And now it’s time for the next car on my bucket list (NSX, antera, Stingray, obra) and for somebody else to enjoy this car as much as I do… but without all the work and time and money to get it there. Car is in LA / Beverly Hills area. DO NOT BID if you don't have the funds.
