Details
This 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 is powered by a rear-mounted, liquid-cooled, light alloy 90-degree V6 engine with a single overhead camshaft and crossflow cylinder heads. The cylinder bore is 91mm with a 73mm stroke and a displacement of 2,849cc. This DMC-12 has a power rating of 130hp, a maximum torque of 208 ft/lbs and a compression rating of 8.8:1. The original hood of the DeLorean had louvers running down both sides, including a fuel filler flap to simplify fuel filling. These cars typically had a
locking fuel cap to prevent fuel tampering or theft by siphoning. In late 1981, the fuel flap was removed from the hood (although the hood louvers remained). The final styling for the hood included the removal of the louvers, resulting in a completely flat hood. This final version was on all 1982-83 model year vehicles. In 2016 reconditioning was completed at DeLorean Motor Company Midwest on all components susceptible to aging and embrittlement, such as seals, hoses and tires. A new upgraded stainless-steel exhaust system, radiator reservoir and a Kenwood sound system were also installed. Built in August 1981, this car retains the original hood details and has 21,024 miles (not indicated on title).
