Description of 1981 DeLorean DMC-12

This 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 was sold new at Brooks Biddle Chevrolet in Bothell, Washington with an MSRP $30,191. It is finished in a custom two-tone black and gold finish, which was reportedly applied by the selling dealer at the original owner’s request. It was acquired in 1989 by the second owner, a Delorean enthusiast and engineer by trade, with whom it remained until 2018. I purcahsed it from the third owner two years ago and now have to sell it. Power comes from a 2.85-liter PRV V6 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission.
