What can be said about the DeLorean that hasn’t already been said? It is a pop culture icon and is memorable not because of its stainless steel body or gullwing doors, but because of its appearance in a certain time traveling movie. I’m not sure if its time in the spotlight helped or hurt the car, but either way these cars have quite the following today. This 1981 DMC12 has been parked for the past 17 years, but in the past few months the seller has gone through things and has it running and driving again. It’s still going to need some work before it is looking and driving its best. If you’ve always wanted to own one of these futuristic ’80s cars, this one can be found here on eBay in Manchester Center, Vermont.

While the DMC12’s stainless steel body won’t rust, its regular steel chassis will. These cars can look like new on the outside, but be rusted nightmares underneath. The seller claims this one was originally in Nevada, which hopefully means rust won’t be a major issue. It will obviously require a closer inspection, but from what’s visible it looks solid. The seller has already gone through the fuel system, the exhaust, the suspension, the brakes, and serviced and tuned the engine. They have even replaced the door handles and all of the struts required to open the doors and bonnet.

If this DeLorean checks out, it could make for a good buy, at least for a serious DeLorean fan. I just can’t believe the amount of interest this listing has already received, given the fact that the seller doesn’t include a single photo of the entire car. It would be nice to see the car as a whole, especially when the seller is asking $22k! I have no doubt that someone will buy it, even with these poor quality photos. The real question is, are they buying it because they truly love these cars or because of their ties to the big screen?
