For what it's worth, I can confirm that my Oct. 81 Delorean has the auto antenna in the rear left fender (original). 5431.

Unfortunately for the purchaser (assuming it went through), that car is going to require a lot of work above the 34k price paid.

It is so true that you become more connected to the car if you work on it yourself. I'm fortunate to be reasonably handy when it comes to working on cars, as my dad instilled that in my brothers and...

Mine has been within my family since roughly 1987. I took primary ownership several years ago. I think it probably falls similar to other classic cars. Some will buy with great intentions, yet...

Patience is key. One crank attempt that pulls any sludge through the system will cost you significant time and money. Fight the urge that says “I think it’s clean enough to try.” You will be...

Something tells me at that price, this car has been played with, but never actually restored. You can tell from the photos, that this car has sat and not been well taken care of. This one probably...

When I "unstuck" mine several years ago, I worked acetone into it for about 7 days before it finally let loose. Resist the urge to grab a pair of pliers and try to force the plunger.

Thanks David! Happy to report that I solved the issue last night leveraging the spray bottle test with water. When I sprayed, the noise immediately disappeared. I checked the alignment on the...

Yes, all of the washers and spacers are installed exactly per spec. Dont see a wobble in the belt while its running.

Figured I'd try the community in case there's some prior experience that can save me some troubleshooting efforts.

Recently completed a restoration of my Delorean. Key components...

- What's rear visibility like when backing?
Having driven many cars, the Delorean rear visibility is not a problem at all. Backup cameras are a nice luxury for extra insurance, but this car...

I know this is an older thread but I just changed my oil pressure sensor (drivers side that controls light). It took just a few minutes. Used a 23mm with 10 inch extension on a 3/8 drive. Was able...

As a mathematics major, I can appreciate an attempt at talking some semblance of real mathematics in the forum.

I suppose it’s worth mentioning that 5431 just came out of hibernation after 30 years, so she’s got some catching up to do.

Glad I remembered to take a photo of the milestone!

Check out the Deloream Museum database. Looks like your VIN has an original owner's certificate available which would give you some details.

Just finished watching it on Amazon. Very nice film! Truly leaves you with so many allowable interpretations of the man's life, but in a good way. So happy to be a part of the legacy.

Would you mind including a photo of the grooved hood? Interested to see the leftover paint and grain.

My dad purchased in 1987, and I took possession in 2008. So between us, been in the same garage for 31 years.
