Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 boasts an incredibly low 9k original miles, a desirable 5-speed manual transmission, and retains its iconic stainless steel body and gullwing doors. While mechanically sound with a clean Carfax, it does exhibit cosmetic flaws like a roof dent and interior issues such as a sagging headliner and non-working A/C, indicating a need for some attention.
Condition
5
The car has only 9k miles and has been with the current owner since 2001, indicating good care. However, there are visible cosmetic issues such as a dent on the roof, scratches, and blemishes on the stainless steel panels. Internally, the headliner is sagging, and there are known non-functional components including the climate control blower (only works on high), air conditioning, stereo, and mirror switch. Underside components show corrosion. These issues require moderate reconditioning.
