I have no affiliation with the seller, just wanted to get it to a wider audience so it doesn't end up sitting in that field for 10 more years.

What frame?

[Alex Brooks]

They should sell it to BHCC .

Someone will overpay bigtime. I once did an online estate sale to buy gold bullion and the people that outbid me paid 20% over spot PLUS auction fees. You could buy it on ebay for cheaper.
Someone will see this and get it for 5 or 6k plus another grand for fees and towing and think they have struck gold. In the end they might break even parting it out.

Ooh...that auction has a Geo Storm...a classic...lol

I'd give 'em 1-2k for the D cause I like taking things apart and that would be a good one to take apart.

I’d be all over that at 5k lol

If I could get it in my yard for 5k, I might be a player but I seriously doubt there is much left after you consider your time parting it out. I do put a dollar value on my spare time spent on such a venture and since I have very little of it, it's a healthy number. At 5k, you might make a few grand from it but judging from the pics there is not much to sale except for panels, maybe the rear carrier, and possibly a few other hard parts. I would bet the interior is toast.

Looks like the frame of a car that's been sitting on dirt for a decade or two.

Shame to part it. I’d build it. Interior would be the killer

Seems like a candidate for a DMCH restoration car if the title is clean. All the cores are there, including the left front fender.

[Michael]

Anyone know what it went for?

[JETS 81 DMC]

Anyone know what it went for?

I heard $7150 ??

[JETS 81 DMC]

Sold for $7250.00

No title. Fun.

[DMC VIN 6639]

They paid $7250 plus 16% online fee $1160= $8410 and they had to ship it or pick it up. I talked to the auctioneer and the car has been sitting since 1995, the last time it was registered in Florida. The title is still in that gentleman's and he is deceased.

[Michael]

I like seeing parts cars flirt with 5 figures. That should mean a beautifully restored turn key D should bring 40k easy...but it usually doesn't.

Funny, if I were in the DeLorean sales buiz, I would just sell piles of shit like that one. There is much more money in it

[Lwanmtr]

If the person who's name is on the title is deceased, then it should be possible, I think to get the title cleared. Of course, that was definately alotta money for just a parts car.

To get a title for that is pointless. Getting a title implies that someone will restore it. It would however be beneficial to get the title and sell that and the vin plates to DMCH to build a refrub from(that's all they need).

[Michael]

Apparently it went to someone in Ohio.

Hmmmmmmm
