    VIN 2259: Black Manual, grooved/flap hood, 2 owners

    This is the second DeLorean I've owned and is by far the nicest. I purchased from the original owner in 2010 and since then have given it a front suspension rebuild, cleaned up wheels & tires, TABs, etc. Sunday driver stored in a climate controlled garage. I love these funky little cars and this has been a fabulous example to own, but it's time to make room for some new projects.

    The car is located in San Jose, California. Asking $31,500.

    Here's the craigslist ad with contact info:

    VIN SCEDT26T6BD002259
    5-speed manual with black interior, grooved hood & gas flap
    82,000 miles

    Two owners from new with full maintenance history, clear California title. Always a garaged, bay area car driven in fair weather. This DMC-12 is a reliable turn-key driver, fully maintained and highly original. All upgrades are mild drivability improvements; the car is visibly stock and can be returned to 100% stock if desired. Interior and exterior both 9/10.

    Original owner performed all service at local selling dealership and later at DMC Garden Grove; my work on the car since purchase in 2010 follows:

    - Front suspension rebuild: billet aluminum lower control arms, upper control arms reinforced and powder coated, new shocks, Eibach performance lowering springs
    - Frame surface rust cleaned and POR15'd
    - Fuel tank cover powder coated
    - Wheels refinished and powder coated by DMC Garden Grove, new Michelin Pilot Exalto all-season tires
    11/2011
    - Appraised at $34,400 for insurance policy - available on request.
    7/2013
    - Replaced A/C belt tensioner pulleys and belt, water hose
    6/2014
    - Major service performed: fuel filter, air filter, valve covers, water pump, thermostat, hoses, belts, clean fuel injectors. Clean up & inspect valley of death, & replace all hoses.
    - Replaced original (functioning) alternator with 140 amp alternator.
    - New distributor.
    10/2015
    - Brake and clutch hydraulic lines flushed.
    3/2016
    - Inspected and driven by Rob Grady with no major issues noted.

    Other notable upgrades:
    - Upgraded speakers in the original locations. Aftermarket head unit with MP3, USB, bluetooth hands-free.

    - Factory correct headliner from DMCH
    - Latest PJ Grady tail light boards
    - Relay kit, new fuses
    - SpecialTAuto fuel tank hot air dam
