For Sale Post approved - Mike


This car is still for sale, and I need to sell it soon. Price lowered to $18,500 or best reasonable offer.

Hate to do it, but need to save up to buy a house. I purchased this car in 2005 and to the best of my research I am the 5th owner. This car is in very good condition, I have done a lot of work to it over the last 6 years (detailed below). At one point it was my daily driver and it always functioned reliably.

About the red paint. When I bought the car I noticed some scratches and cracks in the epoxy, apparently from someone attempting to lift the car. I wire brushed the epoxy around these areas away to expose the steel and then painted over it with a anti rust pain, which happens to be red. The plan was to then go over it with the correct gray paint but as you can see I never got around to that.

This DeLorean is in Fresno...if anyone wants a second opinion I'd be more then happy to go take a look as well on your behalf.

I will chime in an say I welcome a second look by Ryan for any seriously interested party. I really need to get this car sold.

This car is not perfect, it is not concourse, but it is a good solid D. If you want a daily driver this car should fit the bill nicely with minimal/no up front mechanical work (however, as a used car, it is sold as is). Please feel free to PM me with any questions, requests for additional pics, etc.

Things I know it needs:

Angle drive replaced. I have the part but never installed. Driven about 200 miles since it crapped out in 2008 or so.
Front main leaks a bit, always has. Never got around to it.
Console clock is on the fritz
Seats are not recovered, I really wanted to get that done just never had the capital.
Headlight switch needs replacing. It works, but I am an anal SOB and I wanted to replace it.

All I can think of right now.

This car is sold pending funds to Ed Uding.
