    1982 Stainless Frame Twin Turbo Grey 5-speed

    Listing this here before we try harder online. This is a very unique DeLorean, I thought it might get some good attention from this group as you are more likely to understand/appreciate the upgrades than the general public.

    Located at DMC Midwest, selling for a customer's estate. Call/PM/email Dave/Mike for details. VIN 10693

    Approximately 8000 miles since undergoing a $60K+ upgrade at DMC California (by Danny and Don) in 2002. This car was built as a comprehensive upgrade project including:

    STAINLESS STEEL FRAME (Pearce Design Components)
    Twin (Island) Turbocharger installation with custom camshafts, cats only, no mufflers. Loud.
    Chromed engine components including oil pan, covers, intake, Turbo plumbing.
    $6000+ Stereo system including custom installed 5- Channel amplifier, speakers, and subwoofer.
    --[stereo works, display does not, probably need to update the head unit for modern functions anyway]
    Aluminum Fuel Cell gas tank
    Interior upholstery refreshed/replaced
    Lowering Front Springs, Aftermarket Gas Shocks
    160 MPH Speedometer
    Carbon Fiber Door Sills w/"Twin Turbo" Logo
    Stainless Label Kit
    Cupholders
    ---I'm sure I've missed some goodies.

    Easily the fastest PRV DeLorean I’ve ever driven. Runs exceptionally well.

    Car is in excellent driving condition. Full inspection completed. Offered at $38,000 in current condition. Since the major build was 12 years ago, it could use a light refresh on things like stainless and door seals, minor brackets etc. Overall the car is ready to drive needing only detail items.

    Maintenance and repairs just completed in preparation for sale:
    -Complete Inspection
    -Fuel system cleanout/refresh of rubber components
    -Oil and Coolant Changes
    -Brake System rebuild including hydraulics, pads and rotors
    -A/C Service
    -New Tires - Toyo
    -New Battery

    Odometer shows 22250 miles. Actual Mileage unknown. Carfax shows an irrational number. Likely really has about 125K but was completely rebuilt at about 115K.

    Wow, that is a very impressive list of additions.

    I know you are not supposed to comment on for sale items but there are 2 things I just have to ask.
    I never heard of an aluminium fuel tank in a D, any pics? who does them?
    What is the switch in picture 31?


    Good luck with the sale!

    It was custom made for DMC California, a one-off. No particular reason, the guy just wanted one. No pictures, it's really only visible where the fuel pump goes and it's closed back up now.

    I think you are looking at the door popper, it is a spring loaded plunger to help "launch" the doors. The only other abnormal switch I can think of is the cruise control lever.

    Hi Dave,
    Would you be able to put it on a rolling road/dyno so the output from the flywheel and wheels can be determined as this would be very attractive to purchasers?

    No extra gauges for seeing the Turbo boost etc?

    No, and no. It would not be hard to add a boost gauge.

    I assume after 2 years this has gone to a new owner?
