Toby's comments:
A summary of the negative findings follows:

RH tie rod boot open

Minor oil leaks on engine from oil pressure sender, cam cover plate

A/C is inoperative – no drive belt (missing)

Oil leaks from transmission – output shaft seals, selector shaft seal

A few minor dents and scratches in the stainless steel outer body panels

Front and rear fascias have faded paint, some minor distortion on the front

Interior wear – seat covers, instrument cluster binnacle are showing cracks

LH power window is inoperative

HVAC mode switch needs to be rebuilt

Roof seals cracked – these seals are primarily for wind noise

Windshield washer is inoperative

Brake fluid flush is recommended – LH front caliper dragging a little bit



Generally, the DeLorean is in fair to good shape, and is all there. An excellent candidate for a minor restoration. In the inspection report, the items checked as OK are all in good shape, and functional where indicated. There are “normal updates” that could be done, such as replacing the original plastic coolant tank with an upgraded stainless-steel tank.
