The DeLorean feature a very unique stainless steel body over a glass-reinforced plastic monocoque underbody. This example showcases this original design magnificently.

 The gull wing doors are unmistakable and a major part of the DeLorean design, allowing easier entrance and exits.

Needless to say, the DeLorean became an American & Pop-Culture classic partially thanks to its recurring role in the Back to the Future movies series. We have two full boxes of unopened Topps Back to the Future II card packs & bubble gum included. We also have this jazzy original custom car cover for this DeLorean.

Great Scott! Fly High or Fly Low. Many of our photos were taken at the historic Dallas Love Field Frontiers of Flight museum, located only minutes from our showroom.

Unfortulately noot optioned with a flux capacitor, this example features the original fuel-injected V6. This European powerplant was stiffled with U.S. factory emissions, though it was rated at 170 horsepower initially. John DeLorean was a fan of the mid-engine design and incorporated this into the DMC. The engine compartment is clean and detailed, displaying the original factory decals and components throughout.

 The body is brushed 304SS stainless steel with a painted nose and rear clip. All of the DeLoreans left the factory this way with exception of three 24K gold-plated examples.

 

The optional grey leather interior is in exceptional condition. Leather seats/trim ; air conditioning ; an AM/FM stereo ; power windows ; power locks, and mirrors; intermittent wipers ; and an electric defogger were all standard options. This car is also equipped with the optional automatic transmission.

 

The DeLorean DMC-12's interior could be original in black or grey. This example sports its original leather, showing some age but little wear.

 

The gauges are functional and clear.

The 1981 DeLoreans came standard with air conditioning, heat, and a Craig radio. This car is also optioned with the automatic transmission.

The heavy gullwing doors are supported by cyrogenically preset torsion bars and gas-charged struts. A very common misconception is the gullwing doors require more room to open, such as in a crowded parking lot. In reality, they require far less clearance than side-hinge doors.

Similar in design to the Lamborghini Countach, the DMC-12 doors feature small cut-out windows because full size windows would not be fully retractable within the short door panels.

 

 

The underbody and suspension of the DeLrean is based on the Lotus Esprit with a 4-wheel independent suspension, coil-springs, and telescopic shock absorbers. The front suspension utilizes double wishbones and the rear is a multi-link setup. The intial design was quite good. Lotus is known for their handling prowess. The U.S. regulations required modificatios to the suspension to raise the ride height a bit. Lowering springs are commonly used to increase the handling ability of the DeLrean. This example retains its original suspension and underbody in excellent condition. This is a dry climate example and it shows.

The original manufacturers vin and data plate are in place.

 

 

We have much of the original paperwork, books, and even the VHS cassette tape detailed the DeLorean dream.
