There are plenty of DeLoreans out there from the early 1980s, enough to evoke images from the Robert Zemeckis “Back to the Future” trilogy that debuted in 1985. However, there is this DeLorean, which does everything but travel through time.
The former owner spared no expense in turning this 1982 DeLorean into a replica of the movie car. You don't even need to open the gullwing doors to see it. The car's exterior is festooned with cabling, conduits and more, including the flux capacitor. .....
The back of its stainless-steel body and front bumper is wrapped in illuminated blue lighting, just like in the film.
The frame of the car is powder coated, and auxiliary lights & wires can be spotted along the undercarriage and tailfins. The undercarriage is very clean and well detailed.
Aside from the add-ons, the car's body is straight and solid, with some imperfections present. The frunk is laid out with modules, wiring and dual batteries. Out back, the fusion replica is mounted over the car's actual internal combustion engine.
This time-traveling replica rolls on General Altima RT43 radials mounted on original wheels, 14-inch up front and 15-inch in back. Steering is rack-and-pinion, with an overall ratio of 14.9:1, giving 2.65 turns lock-to-lock and a 35-foot curb-to-curb turning circle. A/C, power windows, speedo/odo and fuel gauge are inop. DeLoreans are equipped with cast alloy wheels, that are staggered in dimension, matching the car's wedge-shape, The wheels are in good, original order while the tires are in very good shape. The DeLorean has a four-wheel independent suspension with coil springs, and telescopic shock absorbers. The front suspension uses double wishbones, while the rear is a multi-link setup.
Out back under the adornment is the usual Peugeot-Renault-Volvo 2.5L V-6 engine. This engine has a 90-degree layout with a light-alloy block with cast iron cylinder liners and light-alloy heads with cross-flow hemi-chambers. It is cooled by a front-mounted radiator with twin-thermostatically controlled electric cooling fans. The engine has a 3.6-inch bore and a 2.9-inch stroke, a compression ratio of 8.8:1 and was fitted with a Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system
The electronics kit can be found in the center console and the dash features adjustable time circuit boxes with different time options for “Past, Present and Future.” There's a cluster of colorful overhead switches along the center console and the “flux capacitor” can be found in between the Bridge of Weir grey leather seats. The seats, carpet and headliner are all in great condition, as are the three-spoke steering wheel, dashboard with add-ons and inner door panels. The center console and shift lever also look fine. Topping things off is a Craig AM/FM head unit.
