Oh the DeLorean, what an interesting car! I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t know about these cars. Some are fans because of the aesthetics while others are simply fans of the Back To The Future movies and it’s number one star, the DeLorean. Without it’s role in those movies, most people probably wouldn’t even know these cars existed, much like the Bricklin SV-1. Thankfully, they are extremely well loved, so much so that many were stashed away. Now that it’s been over 30 years since the demise of DeLorean, people are starting to dig them out of storage. This example is one of those to have been put away years ago and simply forgotten. It doesn’t run, but looks to be shape. It can be found here on eBay in Richmond, Virginia with a current bid of $7,800 and a BIN of $13k.

As cool as these cars are, you really have to be careful buying one. They can look to be in amazing shape, but have serious issues hiding under that beautiful stainless steel body. Also, getting the engine running can be a bit tricky, as some replacement parts can be tricky to find. Thankfully someone bought the DMC name and the left over parts from the factory. Last I heard, they are even planning on building brand new DeLoreans!

This one is quite dusty and the seller doesn’t offer any detailed photos of the frame, so I would be sure to take a closer look before bidding. As long as the frame is solid though, I think this could be a great buy! Having a manual transmission is a nice plus, but the interior is looking a bit rough. That makes me a bit really

So would you give this dusty DeLorean a new home? If so, would you make it a daily driver or just keep it as a show piece? And for those of you that enjoy the DMC-12, but can’t justify buying one or simply love a cool t-shirt, don’t miss out on our new Back To The Barn t-shirts!
