Hi List, I'm giving serious thought to selling my pride and joy (1982, black interior, 5 speed, light grey carpet, VIN 11546) and would like to know if anyone on the list may be interested. It's a special car...I purchased it about 3 years ago from the daughter of the owner who had passed away but had bought it new in Grand Rapids, MI. The car had barely been used and had sat for about 10 years in his garage in Muskegon, MI I was part of the list at that time so I had a good sense of what to do and not to do with a car that had been sitting for that length of time. The car was perfect with 2200 actual miles (no broken angle drive here) with tires that were like new, seats showing no wear, etc. I knew the miles were legitimate. I didn't "steal" the car ...I paid her $22,500 which was a fair price for a D in that condition. I trailered the car home and began the clean up and upgrading process including dropping the tank, replacing injectors, filter and cleaning all fuel lines. While I was at it I replaced the water pump (Grady) and all hoses beneath the manifold and under the car. All the parts taken off the car (clamps, hoses, etc were saved). I literally replaced any part/bolt/component that was tarnished, rusted or scratched (all from DMC Houston). I went a little crazy on my quest for absolute perfection...New front and rear facias, new louvre, etc. Nothing wrong with the old ones, I just wanted them perfect. In fact, I sold the front and rear facias to owners in California and Michigan and they mounted them on their cars without any refinishing at all. You can ask Warren, he once said I was their biggest customer that first year. I spared absolutely no expense in getting this car perfect. The original wheels and tires (perfect) were even put away and another delorean set were purchased and Goodyear tires mounted on them the originals come with the car). I also performed the following upgrades: Fanzilla, Tankzilla and Lockzilla, relays, braided clutch cable, metal overflow tank (have the perfect original), Rear light boards (Grady), OEM splash shields, OEM rear shocks, headliners and many, many more OEM bolts nuts, seals, struts, etc. I even put a new air conditioning compressor and exhaust on it because I didn't like the finish that was on the old. All OEM, of course from Houston. Again, anything that didn't look new was replaced with OEM new. Warren even allowed me to drive to Columbus to pick out my new louvres (I have the old ones too). I have collected a wide range of books and brochures on the car and have the cleaning kit, lighted key (not cut), luggage rack (not mounted), stainless labels (not mounted). I also have the following new spares waiting for the day that they will be needed...angle drive, accumulator, water pump, wiper blades and trailing arm bushings/bolts. I have a car cover and a set of black mats and grey mats from DMC Houston. Maybe my wife is right...I'm crazy. There are now about 2400 miles on the car... and it's still in the same condition...mint, like new. I start it once a week and take it around the block if it's sunny. I'd feel secure driving this car anywhere. EVERYTHING works on the car and always has. The only items that are not original are the water pump pulley, the oil pressure sender and the door seals (Delorean 1, on the door seals). The front suspension could use a cleanup (detailing... toothbrush stuff) and I'll probably get around to that in a little while but thats it. There is no rust visable or lurking anywhere. I have all receipts. I'm sticking with what I paid for it as a firm price...$22,500. I could ask $24,500 and come down a couple thousand but please don't ask me to go below $22,500...I can't bring myself to do that. At that, someone will get one heck of a car that they don't have to do anything to except keep the stainless clean and drive and show. If anyone is interested in talking about the car, please e-mail me at mccombc@xxxx I live just outside of Detroit in case you are in the neighborhood. By the way, what am I getting next? what else, a 1953 Indian bike...my next dream toy. Of course, I'll have to make it perfect.
