    My VIN:    thirty two 'o five

    Vin 2510 - $42,500

    This is VIN 2510 with only 2,100 miles. No I didn't forget a digit there! it's an earlier build (July 1981) with a rare gas flap hood, nearly immaculate frame and black leather interior.

    This car has been FULLY restored. Virtually every component has been replaced or reconditioned with excruciating detail. All parts for the car were sourced from reputable DeLorean vendors, such as DeLorean Motor Company Northwest, DeLorean Performance Industries, DeLorean Parts Northwest and Heninger & Associates DeLorean Upgrade Parts.

    The car is restored with over $15,000 in NOS and upgrade components that ensures this particular DeLorean will look gorgeous, concourse in appearance while running better and more reliably than new. Every receipt is accounted for. A final engine tuning was complete by John and Toby at DeLorean Motor Company in May 2013. There is well over 1000 hours in this rebuild.

    Here is the history of the car:

    In the early 80's, this car suffered an engine failure (for whatever reason) that of course no dealership would touch. With no support network available to repair the car, the owner let the car sit. After "Back To The Future" came out, he threw some crude props on the car and towed it around as a promotional tool for his business. Later, he began parting it out. It changed hands a few times over the next few decades until fairly recently when the internet's massive DeLorean support network (as it exists today) allowed a new owner to begin breathing life back into it. He took it under his wing, replaced parts that had long since been absent and rebuilt the engine, with DMC Northwest reviewing the work upon completion. I bought it from him in July of 2012 and invested the remaining $15,000 in parts and labour to get VIN 2510 back where it is today; better than new.

    I've attached a LONG list of the work completed and the parts repaired or replaced on this DeLorean. It's the 2nd DeLorean I've restored and the 3rd DeLorean overall I've done major work on.

    The pictures here (in the ad) are to give you an idea. I'll be doing a professional shoot with car in July.

    Thanks guys!

    I was so bummed out when i took those frame shots! Basically when it went in (and passed) the provincial safety inspection I used the opportunity when it was on the lift to take pictures, but it was a terrible rainy day and ruined my pristine undercarriage shots, especially at the engine cradle.

    Congratulations on the sale! Being not an owner yet, but having another limited production run vehicle with very low numbers, it's nice to see when something like this goes at a premium as it only supports the hopefully increasing value of what we have.
