1982 DeLorean DMC-12
This is a 5-speed manual transmission 1982 DeLorean. All the time, it's always been garage kept. I haven't driven it much. I'll go over the condition of the car as best as I can and give as many details as I know.
The car is in decent shape. It has some work to be done before it's a daily driver. Despite the parts I've replaced on the fuel system, it recently started having issues on a cold start. If you perform the plug swap trick, it'll start and stay on.
What I've Fixed
Replaced almost the entire fuel system. The only part I haven't gotten to is the fuel accumulator. I do have the part and will be included with the car.
Fuel System Maintenance done:
drained/cleaned fuel tank
replace fuel distributor
replaced fuel lines
replaced fuel injectors
replaced fuel pump
replaced fuel tank sending unit - may need to be replaced again
replaced all sensors in the fuel system - thermo time switch may need replacing to fix cold start issue
Brake System:
replaced rotors
replaced brake lines
replaced master cylinder
replaced all 4 tires
Cooling System:
replaced all hoses
Engine:
replaced vacuum hoses
replaced butterfly assembly on the intake
cleaned out 'valley of death' - also painted over it with POR to protect it from ever rusting
Electrical
replaced alternator
power windows/locks fixed
Interior
Newly upholstered seats - backing of seats still need to be sewn in place - those are included with the car
New binnacle (though it's black on the grey interior)
Outstanding Issues
The A/C on the car does not work. I never got to looking into it so I don't know what it would take to get it running.
The interior has some issues. I've included pictures of the issues that need attention.
I did replace the instrument cluster. I attached pictures of the old one with the mileage on it. The new instrument cluster's speedometer + odometer do not work.
The door struts need to be replaced.
Radio antenna does not go up. I have the part but never got around to fixing it. Will include the part with the car.
The engine cover directly above the engine does not stay up on it's own.
