1981 DeLorean DMC-12 5-Speed

Introducing this 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 5-Speed that is finished in its iconic color stainless steel combined with a grey interior. More than just a sports car, the DMC-12 has secured its place in automotive and pop culture history, most famously through its starring role in the 1985 film Back to the Future. With its unmistakable silhouette and innovative construction, it remains one of the most recognizable cars ever produced.

Highlights:
- California Car
- Long-Term Ownership: 40+ Years
- Stainless Steel Exterior
- 5-Speed Manual Transmission
- Rear-Mounted V6 Engine
- Gullwing Doors
- Turbine-Style Wheels
- Air Conditioning
- Power Windows
- Turbine-style Alloy Wheels
- $19,144.04 in Service Receipt Copies (1983-2025)

Powered by a rear-mounted V6 engine with mechanical fuel injection and paired to a 5-speed manual transmission, this DeLorean delivers an optimal analog driving experience. Four-wheel disc brakes provide stopping power, while dual exhaust outlets add to its distinctive character. The car features counterbalanced gullwing doors, quadruple headlights, body side moldings, side marker lights, a front spoiler, and a louvered rear-window cover. It rides on 14-inch front and 15-inch rear turbine-style wheels wrapped in Goodyear tires, with a properly fitted spare housed in the front trunk.

Inside, the grey interior is complemented by a three-spoke steering wheel, center console, power windows, dual-side mirrors, air conditioning, and an FM radio with a fender-mounted antenna.

The DMC-12's brushed stainless steel body panels are mounted over a fiberglass underbody and a Lotus-engineered backbone chassis, meaning the exterior was designed to resist corrosion without the need for traditional paint.

This particular example comes with a clean CARFAX report and retains its California small pink slip title, reflecting decades of ownership. Whether you're a dedicated enthusiast or a collector of distinctive 1980s icons, this DeLorean DMC-12 represents a great opportunity to own a true conversation piece that is mechanically sound.
