You are looking at a 1982 DeLorean DMC-12 that when I first bought it in 2014, said would never, ver come to market again. I was wrong.
I like to say that I've driven it 'a lot' - but considering that I always took it on low mileage drives, ess than 500 miles to me is 'a lot.'
As far as pricing is concerned, ven with my "buy it now" price I'm losing money on the car. It's not an exorbitant price, nd I set it at a point to where knowing what I put into the car, 'd buy it for that much if I was someone else.
The car also comes with the original parts manual, orkshop manual, nd owner’s manual. Below are all of the upgrades that I (and the PO, f he gave me the information), ave done to it.
You will be responsible for shipping. As an FYI, hipping from NY to where I live in DFW runs about $1,100, o give an example.

All of these parts are already in the trunk of the car. If there’s something you don’t want, et me know and I’ll remove it before the car ships.
OEM driver side torsion bar – the current torsion mechanism is a Heninger solution (installed by PO), nd failing, s you can see per pictures. Driver side OEM torsion bars are next to impossible to come across. As for a reference, hey cost $850 for a readily available NOS passenger side torsion bar. This part is normally one of the first to sell (second only to a driver side front fender) when a parts car comes to market. DMCH right angle drive (for the speedometer) – mine failed half of mile from my house the last time I drove it (2 weeks ago), nd I haven’t driven it since – only started it. Disclaimer: I had my hand on this part 2 weeks ago, ut can’t find it when I started taking pictures. In the event I can’t find it by the time the car ships, will either refund the cost of the part ($60) via PayPal, r order a new one and have it shipped straight to you.
