THIS ICONIC 1,543 MILE DELOREAN IS PERHAPS THE LOWEST MILEAGE 1983 DMC-12 SURVIVOR ON THE MARKET TODAY!

I’m sure that everyone is familiar with the iconic DeLorean, the stainless-steel gullwing sports car manufactured in Northern Ireland from 1981-1983. The DeLorean is now one of the most highly sought-after collectibles worldwide. This example is an exceptional 1,543 Mile “Collector Quality” 1983 DeLorean DMC-12, 5-Speed “Survivor”, and is one of the most original lowest mileage examples in existence! It is also the preferred 1983 last year production, and also has the preferred black interior and preferred 5-speed manual transmission. This DeLorean is powered by its original 2.85-liter fuel-injected V6 engine. Replacement parts are readily available and the stainless-steel body will never rust.

This 1983 DeLorean DMC-12 was first sold new on July 11, 1984, to an older couple living in Sandy, Utah for the wife to drive on weekends. It was babied, exceptionally well maintained, always garaged and driven very sparingly through December 1991. Thereafter it was properly stored with only 1,528 miles on the vehicle. After the wife passed away around 2000, the husband wanted to keep the car as a time capsule (no pun intended). To the old man, it was worth the most to him exactly as it was when his wife was still alive. Sitting in a chair in the garage and just looking at it made him happy. He retained ownership of the car for 34 years until December, 2019.

The exterior is stunning with its beautiful brushed stainless steel body panels, perfect factory turbine-style aluminum wheels, and as new original Goodyear NCT-HR60 tires. Unbelievably, this DeLorean retains its original factory installed tires that still appear as new with absolutely no signs of age whatsoever!

The interior is totally original, and the original black leather seats, dash, instruments and light gray carpeting still look brand new. It retains all of the original factory parts, including the steering wheel, the original AM/FM cassette deck, floor mats, air conditioning, 85-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and voltage, etc. The odometer now shows just 1,543 miles, and that is the true total miles this DeLorean has been driven since new.

The trunk is all original and in pristine condition with its original as-new carpeting! It contains the original factory tool kit, stored in the front compartment, an original spare tire, jack, an extra set of still plastic-wrapped new factory floor mats, the original DMC fitted car cover and brand-new black vinyl DMC front bug/stone guard.

During the past few years, this DeLorean has been mechanically refreshed. The work included installation of a new battery, cleaning of the fuel tank, new stock fuel pump assembly, a replacement fuel filter, six new fuel injectors, replacement of the original rubber fuel lines with black steel-braided lines, and the rebuilding by DMC of the Bosch fuel distributor. New spark plugs, distributor, support struts and lambda sensor were also installed. A coolant flush and an oil change using a DMC filter were done. The brake system was gone through that included the cleaning of the brake lines, new front & rear brake hoses, and rebuilding of the brake calipers. With the exception of the battery, all replacement components were sourced from DMC, and original components are included with the vehicle.

This final-year DMC-12 is offered with all documentation from new, that includes the window sticker, finance statement, manufacturer’s literature, registration paperwork, miscellaneous documents dating back to 1984, etc. Also included are DeLorean service books, DeLorean magazines, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

This DeLorean is worthy of being in any enthusiast’s collection, and will please even the most discriminating buyer!
