Dealer's description

Offered for sale is an exceptionally preserved 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, finished in its iconic Stainless Steel exterior over a Black interior and equipped with the desirable automatic transmission. Showing less than 13,200 original miles, this DeLorean represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most recognizable and collectible automobiles of the 1980s in remarkably low-mileage condition. Designed by legendary Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro and engineered with a distinctive brushed stainless steel body over a fiberglass underbody and backbone chassis, the DMC-12 remains an unmistakable presence more than four decades later. Its signature gull-wing doors, rear-engine layout, and futuristic styling have cemented its place in automotive history and pop culture, most famously in the film Back to the Future. Powered by the 2.85L PRV V6 engine paired to a smooth-shifting 3-speed automatic transmission, this example delivers a unique and engaging driving experience. The engine bay presents cleanly, and the car starts, runs, and drives as a properly maintained low-mileage example should. The automatic transmission offers relaxed cruising and easy drivability, making it equally suitable for weekend shows or spirited backroad enjoyment. The stainless steel exterior retains its original character and finish, showcasing the timeless brushed panels that make the DeLorean instantly recognizable. Panel fitment is consistent, and the gull-wing doors operate properly, opening to reveal a well-preserved Black interior. Inside, the cabin reflects the cars low mileage, with seats, dash, headliner, and switchgear presenting in impressive condition. The overall presentation reflects careful ownership and proper storage throughout its life. With fewer than 13,200 miles, this 1981 DeLorean stands as both a conversation piece and a true collectors automobile. Values for well-kept, low-mile examples continue to draw strong interest among enthusiasts seeking originality and condition. Whether you are adding to a curated collection or searching for a standout piece of 1980s automotive history, this DMC-12 offers rarity, provenance, and unmistakable presence in one compelling package.
