1981 Delorean Dmc - 12 on 2040-cars
Payson, Utah, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : yahairaybbickerstaff@ukentertainers.com .
Life is changing, must sell! Make me an offer. The time has come to sell "the dream". I am the third owner of this
excellent example of the 1981 DeLorean Motor Company DMC-12. Ideal grey interior, manual transmission. Clean title.
Has ALWAYS been stored indoors and under a car cover when not being driven. I have only driven the car around town
a few times a year, the farthest I've ever gone in it was SLC. I know for a fact that the previous owner did the
same once it came here from California 20 years ago or so.
I have kept this car as original as possible, while replacing and updating "known to fail" parts with the best
possible replacements/upgrades (all "new old stock" official DeLorean parts from DMC Texas), including:
**New/upgraded fuel pump
**New fuel tank
**Upgraded Eibach suspension (custom springs and shocks made specifically for the DeLorean from Eibach)
**New gas struts on all doors and hinges
**New/upgraded Bosch relays and fuses
**New tires,
**Battery kill switch
**Coolant flushed
**New stainless braided fuel lines and clutch lines
**New weather stripping (still in box)
**New black DMC floormats
**New master cylinder
**New slave cylinder
**New fuel pressure accumlulator
**New leather shift boot
**New ball joints (just in case, still in box)
*A/C is charged with the old R12 freon and blows ICE cold.
*Leather in GREAT shape as it has rarely seen the son. No tears, no rips.
With these replacements/upgrades, the DeLorean has become very reliable and a joy to drive. The only thing that is
not flawless with this car is center headliner is starting to sag ever so slightly.

Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.
