No Left Front Fender, Front Fascia, Front Grille, Front Bumper, or Headlights (due to the wreck)
Frame is extensively rusted, may or may not be able to be saved, have not examined completely yet.
Fiberglass body is damaged up front as well, not sure how extensively yet either.
Rear Louvers are cracked, but a Fiberglass repair person could most likely repair them easily, is still in one piece.
Front windshield is cracked
Now, a list of the parts that were not included with the car for one reason or another:
No Seats (had aftermarket seats in it)
No Steering Wheel (aftermarket one instead)
No Shifter knob (aftermarket one instead)
And, on top of all of this, the car is painted yellow. Now, I do not currently know the condition of the panels underneath, but as I have stripped the paint on my own DeLorean in the past, I will be stripping the paint off of this car as well. If anyone is interested in the panels as they currently are however and is willing to make me a decent offer for them, let me know via PM before I strip them. Every panel but the left front is there, and they appear to be straight, with all glass intact, etc.
Now, for the (potentially) good about this car. This DeLorean has only been sitting for 3 years or so, and was driven to the spot where it rested until this past weekend. I can reasonably assume that the engine +tranny in this car are in working condition. To what extent, I do not know, but for someone looking for a used engine+tranny, this would make a pretty good deal on an engine that I will not market or sell (or as the price for) as working, but may very well in fact turn over and run with minimal additional work/investment.
So, other than that, the car is pretty much complete. It's a manual, 82, with grey interior. If anyone is looking for certain parts, send me a PM and I will start to compile a list.
The car is currently in Southern PA. However, I am making two trips out to the NE PA/NJ area in January and April, so if you are interested in some of the larger parts (engine/tranny, etc) I can bring them out that way as well. As far as the frame/body, those will have to be picked up, I'm not going to deal with transporting them at this point in time.
So, again, send me a PM if you have an interest in any of the parts. I will be tearing the car down in mid-January, and will provide a more detailed list + pics at that point.
Thanks!
