2 Deloreans for sale

[guss23]

Hello,

I have 2 Deloreans for sale right now. Bothe 5 speeds.

Car no 1: Gas flap hood car, black interior. Very nice, better than average condition. Interior is perfect, the body is better than average and the frame is excellent. Hasent run in 10 years. Will need all service performed but you will have a great car when done. $24,000

Car no 2: car is currently on eBay. Grey interior, late 81. Was painted at the dealership, I had soda blasted. I cleaned out gas tank and installed new fuel pump, accumulator, warm up regulator, fuel lines and injectors. Powder coated intake, timing gear cover and valve covers as well as all of the brackets. Also replaced all of the hydraulics in the clutch. New struts. Left window is intermittent, right work fine, all relays fuses and breakers replaced. Runs great! Minor damage to front right finder. Breaks still need service.
$26,500

Located in Indiana

VINs and photos, please :) Is the engine in car 1 shot from sitting? Thanks...

[guss23]

I'll post some pics when I return on Friday or Saturday. I have not replaced the fuel system so I am not going to run it. I did disconnect the RPM relay and it turned over with compression.

Hi

i am looking for a project, but $24k is a lot more than i can afford for a car that could sink another $20k getting it on the road (tank/fuel system/engine could be shot/+all the other D things we know from a sitting car, hydraulics are bound to be shot etc.

if you can come down alot i would be intereted..i can udnerstand you want as much as possible..

it would be to ship to the UK.

i have already restored a D quite a few years agon, but deperate to get back to D ownership!

Regards

Steve

eeek that tow strap is not in the right place!

[blue35tuesday]

Interested in car 1, but..24k for a shell...gotta lower that price, especially when running Ds are going for that price

[guss23]

I cleaned out the fuel tank and put a new fuel pump into car number two. It runs and drives now. I am going to be listing it on eBay at the end of the week. It's funny what people consider a "shell". The interior is original and perfect, the frame is perfect, the grain is excellent on a flawless body. Everything electrical works including the windows, radio, headlights and taillights.

Hi Guss23

one or two of us are looking at less, as it is not a running car and needs other work (including upto a rebuild) and hence is considered a project.

a non running car could be a simpler clean out, pump, tank pickup etc, but could also mean a replacement gearbox, engine, including ancillaries such as the fuel distributor etc....all very expensve items

again non running may mean shot electrics, even a couple of window regulators would be $400 or so etc....

then standing a long time may mean all the hydraulics are no good so rebuild or replace (my choice is rebuild), then a set of tyres, most of us would refurb the wheels.

then most project D's would require front rear repaints and stainless work/rebrush....., and interior refurb

so as a project there is a lot of risk as to how much $$$ will be required and this is reflected in the offers you may get...

i appreciate you would like as much as possible, where a purchaser wants as cheap as possible...

just my thoughts......its going to be too much for me....as i am around the $15k for a project D (i appreciate yours may be better quality/less work than this)

i have rebuilt a D previously so aware of what will/may be needed, to get a nicely finished reliable (as much as it can be) Delorean!

Wow! You really are experienced and well versed at these cars! I should use you to help me assess the values of the Deloreans I come across as I apairently have been way overpaying. I do want to see the car similar in condition for $15,000 that you get. So, the car you get, you are going to replace everything regardless of if it already works?

[Nicholas R]

I think people would be more receptive to your pricing if you provide more detailed photos. The photos you've posted aren't very clear, several are repeated, and its unclear of which car they are photos of (since you said there are two). You're practically asking someone to buy a car completely site unseen right now. You can't expect someone to trust $21,000 to such little information.

[guss23]

I don't expect anybody to buy a car without talking to me in detail. Unfortunately, my time is extremely limited and I did not get a chance to get the car off the trailer until two days ago. People are relatively insistent on getting photos immediately. I probably should've just waited on the pictures to begin with. I had a chance to get the car cleaned up today and will get better pictures if we have a sunny day tomorrow.

[steve.s]

not a good selling strategy really, post few pics of what some of us might perceive as expensive projects, with little information,

then throw a strop and have a go at your potential buyers...i am sure anyone reading this thread would proceed very carefully...

we are a friendly bunch as Delorean fanatics, your tone is not really in the spirit of things.

not quite sure why when your car 1 is in such good condition...you sell it as a non runner, with unknown geabox and engine issues...perhaps a few $$ spent on fuel system, and you'll have a car worth more than your $24k?

but that is your choice and hope you get what you want...

I've worked closely with Jason on many cars, and since he has bought/sold/restored well over 95 DeLoreans, i tend to trust his judgement...
If there are any specifics you are interested in on either car, I'd be happy to get you that information.

[steve.s]

Nicholas R....my vin must have been close to yours during production...vin 1621

guss 23, i wish you luck with your sale, i will not post to this thread further as i do not wish a verbal slanging match, i'll keep looking for my $10-15k project.

in the UK though the money is burning a hole in my pocket, and i am trying not to persuade myself to buy a TVR 4.5L Chimeara while i wait for my D..

I've got a car I'm happy with and not currently in the market for another, but for the benefit of interested buyers, what condition are the engines in? Is there a lot of rust and sediment in the cooling system?

That was the biggest issue I had with mine - the original owner, as far as I can guess, had parked it since 1993 with water in the system and it caused a lot of rust in the block which led to sediment congealing around the cylinders and crudding up the cooling system, which led to overheating on uphill climbs. It ended up needing the heads pulled to clean it all out. Definitely something to look out for if the car has been sitting for a long time...

If I had to guess, this seller is probably very "done" with selling in a more experienced arena and will most likely stick to ebay or craigslist lol. Sometimes going in to a bar for drink and having a chat with the bartender can result in getting a little more honesty than one might have been expecting.

These pictures are from Jason's (guss23) shop...at any given time his garage is full of project cars, restoration projects, or a friends car that he may be helping out...trust me, HE is the "more experienced arena". If the listing was vague, there was nothing stopping any interested party in sending a PM or making a phone call to get more information. I've seen Jason spend hours on the phone going through everything with someone who was interested in one of the many, many DeLorean's he has sold. If I had to guess, you have guessed incorrectly.
