Sounds like you've nominated yourself as "offical inspector". :rock_on:

AAH! That's the red Delorean I keep getting confused for in Pensacola! Everyone told me there was another one out there. I thought they were crazy, two Red Ds in one city? Guess it was true.
Good luck on your sale, I hope she goes to someone that'll take care of her and you get a fair price.
The parts missing in the pictures are they included in the car's price, of in the parts price?
As it hasn't run for a very long time brace yourself and count in rubber replacements and a total fuel system and brake overhaul (I know David T, there is much more to add to the list).
Any way it seems rather dent free and cosmetic problems are usually easily to overcome.
Frame / underbody pictures are highly welcomed.
However IMHO 8 G is a stiff price if it's not negotiable.
A pic of the odometer would be nice, but don't get too caught up in the low mileage. Plenty of cars appear with sub 15k miles, but yours would be at the lower end of these.
Pic of the VIN plate (on door frame) would help establish authenticity. As mentioned above - frame pics would be good.
Clean title?
Any paperwork, window sticker, manuals etc come with the car?
Forum mods - move to "Cars For Sale" sub-forum?? (The title, in the "general section" makes you think it is a "breakdown" thread :) )
Where's the fuel distributor? Looks like that and some injectors were pulled.
from when the OP listed this vehicle on the old forum in March of 2011: :wink:

I agree with previous posters. Engine looks rough and is missing crucial parts. Sitting that long, all rubber, hoses, etc will need replacing. Interior components from DMCH aren't cheap. Until we see frame and suspension parts, who knows how much they might need. While the red paint may indeed be from the dealership and not because of body damage, we don't know for sure. In any case, the red detracts, not adds, value.
Barring additional body or frame issues, the $8K being bantered about should include the parts IMHO.
If the lot of parts doesn't include that $700 FD, then I think the price should be reduced even further to allow for the price of repairing K-Jet or converting to EFI. Obviously going carb doesn't cost nearly as much as those options but the overall value of the vehicle is definitely diminished by the fact that it is completely immobile with no fuel delivery system.
