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.

Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano
Wed, 15 Oct 2014When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.
Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
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:
