This DeLorean DMC12’s year isn’t known and sale does not include a title. The car looks thoroughly thrashed and worn out with many missing parts, but at this price might present a good opportunity for someone with a lot of imagination and an interesting drivetrain lying around. Find it here on Craigslist in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for $4,500 firm. Special thanks to BaT reader Mark . for this submission.

At least the next owner won’t have to worry about rust on the stainless shell. Underneath is a different story, and no mention of structural condition–or indeed anything else–is mentioned. Both front and rear fascias are completely missing and the gullwings remain closed, obscuring the interior. Fortunately, glass is complete and seemingly in good, usable condition.

Without the taillights and surround trim, the car gives off a strong Lotus Esprit vibe, appropriate considering that company’s deep engineering involvement with the project. The Peugeot/Renault/Volvo PRV V6 looks to be all there, but with how much work the car needs elsewhere we’d strongly lean towards a swap of some sort–Alfa Busso V6? SBC? Subaru flat six? There’s at least one turbocharged rotary powered example out there, too.

It’s questionable if this one will ever see the road again, particularly considering the seller’s hard pricing strategy. Still, we’ll be keeping a hopeful eye out for future build threads.
