1981 DeLorean 5spd - 1 Owner - Grooved Hood - 9,xxx miles - Parked 15 years ago

[95///M3]

1981 DMC 12
One Owner - tagged last in Florida
9,xxx miles
5 speed

Overall condition is only OK at best. Needs tires, some trim pieces, front passenger fender is dented. Would make a nice car for someone looking to clean it up and address some of the mechanicals.

I installed a DMC MW fuel pump kit and completely cleaned out the tank. Car started up but I did not drive it due to leaking slave/master.

Located in York, PA.

Asking $17,900

Hi, I would love to see pics and learn more. Also, what's the VIN and where did you buy it new in '81? Please PM if you prefer. Thanks!

Oh wow this is pretty close to me. I wish I had the money to buy it. I just got a new job that may bring in some good money if it works out so who knows, maybe I'll be in the market within the year or so. Good luck with the sale!

Here is an image of the engine. As you can tell, some of the hoses are incorrect. The coil cover is missing. The overflow bottle looks like it should be replaced simply due to age.

I live in York, if the owner is okay with it and anyone is serious about buying this car but doesn't live locally, I'm more than willing to go out and go over the vehicle for anyone interested.

any more pics ?

Hi uhhair, that's a generous gesture which I may take you up on if the cards fall into place. I'm still waiting on more pics and info. Thanks!

FYI, I have had far more interest that I originally intended in the vehicle. If no one here scoops it up by end of week I am going to put it on eBay...

A couple of condition related questions I have been receiving:

The front passenger fender is dented
The bumpers are wavy and could use a re-spray
Car started and ran well for me after fuel pump installation. I then replaced the Cap, Rotor, Wires, Plugs (all with DMC MW parts), and it didn't fire for me. There was a small fuel leak at the cold start injector so I stopped cranking.
Clutch master and slave need attention as pedal goes to floor.
Original window sticker, owners documents, and sporadic service history is included. Remember this only has 9xxx miles and hasn't been in need of too too much.
Front driver's side door panel is currently off as the latch is out of adjustment.
A proper side post battery is not included with the sale. I was running it with a top post battery and vice grips to make a proper connection.
New wipers installed last week along with new proper washer plastic piece on passenger wiper arm.
Tires are older and would need replacing. They do hold air however not recommended to be driving on.
