    1983 Gray Automatic for Sale

    This car was the raffle car from the Delorean Car Show in Pigeon Forge TN in 2004. Picture of the car at the show can be found here:
    http://www.deloreancarshow.com/dcs-2004/raffle-car.html
    This 1983 Delorean DMC-12 is powered by a 2.85 liter V6 with a 3 Speed automatic with a 2.8 liter V-6 engine. It features stainless steel body panels and a gray interior.

    This car has been garage kept during current ownership. 40,000+ plus miles on it.
    Car has been used in various videos including one for the PBS series on ?The Brain?. Car hunts when first started (normal) but smooths out when warm. Front left fender was apparently in accident before I owned it as there appears to be a slight ?waviness? in a spot.

    Hey. I'm interested in a buying a DeLorean. Automatically specifically, since I can't drive stick.

    Unfortunately, yours is way out of my price range. I can only do $40,000, which is way, way below what you're asking. So if you don't want to discuss it with me, that's totally understandable. I get it. But if you're unable to find a buyer, I do hope that you'll keep me in mind.

    We're still pretty far apart in price, but my budget has gone up to $48,000.
