Greetings,
I purchased VIN 10763 from DMC Orlando back in October, and have had her home now about 2 weeks. She's a 1982 model year, with grey seats & carpet and manual transmission. The previous owner took very good care of her. DMC Orlando had it for a few months to take care of the following:
- New tires
- New seat covers
- New radiator (along with coolant system flush) and hose kit
- Basic service + 30,000 mile maintenance
- Updated relays
- New fuel pump + fuel tank flush
- New alternator (120 amp)
- New door seals
- LED upgrades: door lights, exterior lights, panel lights, interior "reading" lights, trunk light, engine compartment light, glove box light
- Wings-A-Loft Kit
- New JVC stereo head unit with 4 new Kicker speakers (all located where original speakers were)
- Wide Stripe kit (from DeloreanGO)
- New stainless clutch line
- New braided stainless fuel lines
- New cabin a/c fan assembly
- Stainless header bottle upgrade
- Performance shocks & springs (included lowering front end to "original" specs)
- New horns
- Battery cutout switch
- Fuel accumulator kit
I know it's a lot, but it's a lot of peace-of-mind. I'm a big believer in preventative maintenance.
About me: I was born in New Orleans, LA and grew up just outside of the city in a town called River Ridge, LA. I spent 4 years in the Navy right out of high school, and then got my college degree afterwards. I'm married with 2 kids. I'm currently 43, but have long considered myself an old soul. That said, I'm a sucker for nostalgia, and have had the "dream car" mentality regarding DeLoreans since I saw BTTF in the theater (twice) back in 1985. I'm finally in a place where I can now afford one, so here I am...living the dream...in Covington, LA (about an hour's drive north of downtown New Orleans). If there are any owners around these parts, please let me know. Thanks very much!
