Simply put this Delorean is in immaculate condition. There are 3 specific reasons why this Delorean stands out- vehicle documentation, overall condition and service history.

I am the second owner of this car. Prior to  my ownership the car was part of a private owner's collection in Texas. The car was properly stored for 20 years by the first owner. When I took ownership all documentation were passed along and car was sent to the Delorean Motor Company in Florida where it was completely sorted out to bring it back to daily driving condition. The overall condition for this car is showroom. The facias are straight and the stainless is perfect and the car does not have a single ding anywhere. The hood is perfect and has no "X". The wheels are ding free and have not been grinded. The interior is flawless and the original leather seats still have their ripples. The binacle and dash are in perfect condition. Carpet is like new. Everything works on this car, including all electricals. A/C is ice cold as well. As you raise the door the car still smells new! In the interest of total disclosure, the only ding on the car is on the lower louvre (please see picture) If this bothers anyone DMC Texas has NOS louvres available. As mentioned earlier, this Delorean was sent to DMC-FL and has receipts totaling $16,875. After 20 years of sitting the car had to be properly sorted. I intended to drive the car more frequently than I have, which is why I had the car completely checked out from top to bottom and replace where needed. The three major upgrades I made were for the Eibach suspension, 140 speedo and the radio head unit was upgraded with the Alpine iPod unit. I will of course include the original radio with the purchase as well as the original NCT's for those interested in entering a concours. Feel free to contact DMC-FL as they are familiar with this car. Here is a breakdown of what was done:
