1981 Delorean DMC-12, 5-speed in PERFECT working condition!

It's been garaged, extensively restored, well maintained, and babied for the 21+ years I've owned it. It could be YOUR daily driver, no problem, check out the video of it in action!

I'm selling my baby because it's time to move on to bigger things.

History of my Delorean:

The Delorean Motor Company only produced cars for three years from 1981 until 1983. Delorean only built 6700 cars in 1981 and this is one of the first cars released in 1981. This car is a highly collectible first year model with a manual transmission.

I am an Industrial Designer and I have owned this car 21+ years. In that time I have enjoyed completing an extensive restoration.

Stored in a climate controlled garage.

Never driven winters.

This car was in the first two wheels and wings auto shows in Vail, Colorado.

Runs great, just add gas!

THIS IS NOT a car that has been languishing in somebody's wet garage because it won't start or in storage under a tarp untouched since the early 80s. Look at my pictures then look at others pictures of other Deloreans for sale. My car was not pushed out of the garage or storage facility and the tarp ripped off for the photo. You can buy a cheaper non driving problematic or incomplete Delorean if you like. Depending on how much of a project you' re looking for. Or you could buy this one and just add gas.
