First let me start by saying that I never thought I would put this car up for sale. I’ve owned this car for a year now. I’ve driven this car nearly everyday. It has been an absolute blast to drive. It puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. The ONLY reason I’m thinking about selling, is that I’m trying to buy a home and need the money to close the deal.

That being said, here are the details on the DeLorean.

- 1981 Oct VIN #3455

- Island Twin Turbo

- Manual 5-speed Transmission

- 129k Miles (Odometer shows 29k but previous owner believes it rolled over)

- Grooved Hood

- Black dealer Stripe

- Custom two tone blue and grey interior (If you would rather have a stock look, I would be willing to swap stock style interior from my other car)

- Custom Steering Wheel

- Custom Sound System (Alpine Subwoofer, Alpine Speakers, Two Alpine Amps, and Alpine Head unit)

- Converted to R134a

- Interior and Door light Converted to LED & Has Custom Footwell lighting

- All Fuses and breakers where updated in 2011

- Lowered Suspension

- Door Launchers

- Strut tower brace in the trunk

- Oil Changed Regularly

- This was originally a Florida car before it moved to TN. I am the fourth owner

Since I purchased the car last year I have performed the following work,

Rebuilt front end
Replaced Fuel Accumulator
Installed 2nd gear roll-pin & transmission service kit
New Clutch
New Clutch Hydraulics
New Oil PSI Sender
Replaced Exhaust Manifold Gasket
New Brake Master
New Clutch Line
New Tires all around
New Battery
Tune-up Kit
Window Tint
I’m sure there is a lot I’m forgetting. But that’s the basic rundown.

Now please READ this next part carefully
The following will be FIXED BEFORE I sell, that is if I sell it at my asking price. I will come down on the price if you would rather do the following work on the car.

The turbos will need to be rebuilt. The car is still drivable but puffs a little smoke and will spray a little oil from the exhaust on startup. I was quoted $750 per turbo for rebuilding. The speedo needs to be recalibrated. It has the 170mph unit installed and it was never calibrated. The front fascia has a quarter size paint flake/peel. Last known issue is the passenger door needs a little alignment work. It opens and closes ok, but it could close a lot easier.

I’m asking $32,000 for the car with the above issues FIXED. Without the issues fixed, you can feel free to PM me an offer. Please no low ball offers. I’ll fix the issues before I’ll give the car away. I have WAY more than my asking price already invested. I have several other cars for sell and if I sell one those first, I'm taking this ad down. :neener: Anyone seriously interested feel free to PM for more details or contact information.

The car is located in Jackson, TN (between Nashville, TN and Memphis, TN)

Thank you for your time!

To answer a couple of questions I've received,

Yes the car is still available

&

Yes I'll consider offers on it until I fix the problems. That being said, I'm going to start fixing the issues next month and then I'll have to be firm on my price.

PM for more info or offers.

I've decided to keep the car. I just like it way too much to let it go. It puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. :) I'll sell one of my other toys instead.

Mods if you don't mind, please delete or close this thread. Thanks for all the interest anyway!
