With the original MSRP of $26,000 in 1981, these cars were surely for the enthusiast and the belief that John C. Delorean was building a truly remarkable car and certainly in 1981 when lets face it, design of cars were quite boring. People flocked to purchase the DMC-12 even though the cost was twice of what the original price was going to be. The body design by Italians, it's powered by the French and built by the Irish. Sounds like... a perfect combination to me. Gullwing doors, un-painted stainless steel bodies and only two options offered was a recipe for success. These cars have been sought after for some time and have had a cult following for a long time with the help of movie stardom. The 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 offered here was purchased new at Oliver Imported Cars, Inc. of Vallejo, CA. Of course the car is presented in its signature brushed stainless steel finish over black leather interior. Standard Equipment includes: Rear mounted 174 CID overhead cam V6 engine, Bocsh K-Jetronic fuel injection, power assisted 4-wheel disc brakes, AC, AM/FM radio with cassette, power windows, central locking system, tilt and telescopic steering column, dual electric remote side view mirrors, Cast-Light alloy wheels, electronic rear defogger, electric tachometer and Bosch Lambda emission control. This model offered here was also outfitted with a 3-speed automatic transmission. At just 38 408 miles since new, this DMC 12 remains tidy in all areas. The interior is clean, shows some patina and the seats appear to have been re-upholstered. The stainless steel body panels retain good consistent grain and are straight, and all the glass is good. The car starts, runs and drives well and is ready for your future. The DMC 12 is an automotive icon and represents an import part of automotive history. The brand has a unique story and these cars will always have a following; a staple for any collection for sure. Documentation includes: Original window sticker, original bill of sale, original manual and warranty book, shop manual, sales brochure, articles and accolades.
