This exceptionally low-mileage DeLorean has been carefully preserved and garage-kept its entire life. Originally sold new in California, and it still wears its original blue plates. It currently runs and drives well, with no aparent mechanical issues.
Ownership & History
Only two owners: the second ownership shared by two brothers since 1984.
Driven regularly to maintain mechanical health, but always sparingly, with 7,235 documented miles.
Mechanical Condition & Recent Work
Nearly 100% original, with the following recent maintenance:
New brake calipers on all four wheels
New rear brake lines
Fresh oil and filter
New spark plugs and air filter
New fuel pump assembly
New master and slave cylinders (on order and will be installed as preventative maintenance)
Exterior & Interior
Stainless-steel body panels remain original and in excellent condition, showing only a few minor blemishes visible only on close inspection.
Painted bumper areas show some fading consistent with age.
The interior is exceptionally original, with no notable blemishes.
Additional Notes
Tires are original from 1981 and exhibit flat spots from long-term storage, creating some cabin vibration. Replacement is recommended for regular driving.
A rare opportunity to acquire a near-original, low-mileage DeLorean with documented history and careful, long-term ownership. This DeLorean has a clean Carfax report and is sold with a clean California title.
