POSSIBLY THE MOST FAMOUS PRODUCTION CAR OF ITS ERA AND A TRUE 80'S ICON, THANKS TO ITS USE AS A TIME MACHINE IN THE BACK TO THE FUTURE MOVIES! BUILT BY JOHN DELOREAN, THE SELF NAMED DELOREAN MOTOR CAR WAS THE ONLY DELOREAN MODEL EVER BUILT IN ITS SHORT 2 YEAR RUN. DELOREAN WAS A DESIGNER OF MANY WELL KNOW HISTORIC CARS, INCLUDING PONTIAC'S GTO. THE CONCEPT STARTED IN 1976, AND WAS PARTIALLY FUNDED BY HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES, SUCH AS JOHNNY CARSON. MANY CHANGES WERE MADE DURING ITS 5 YEAR DEVELOPING STAGES, BUT THE TWO MOST DISTINCTIVE TRAITS REMAINED UNCHANGED, THE GULWING DOORS AND STAINLESS STEEL BODY. THE PRODUCTION HALTED IN 1982 AFTER THE COMPANY FILED BANKRUPTCY FOLLOWING JOHN DELOREANS ARREST FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING. WHILE THE UN-USED PARTS WERE SOLD OFF, IT IS SAID THAT THE PRODUCTION DIES WERE DUMPED IN THE OCEAN SO THE CAR COULD NEVER BE DUPLICATED AGAIN. ONLY 9200 WERE PRODUCED OF WHICH A SAID 6500 STILL EXIST. OUR CAR HAS ONLY 21K ACTUAL, UN-RESTORED MILES. IT IS A LATE '81 MODEL WITH AN OCTOBER PRODUCTION DATE.
