1981 DeLorean with 977 Miles Found in Barn

A 1981 DeLorean sat in a Wisconsin barn for almost 20 years. Not only was this DeLorean in prime condition with its original tires, it had also barely been driven. Since 1981, the engine had only racked up 977 miles. The iconic DeLorean will forever be associated with the "Back to the Future" movie franchise. The Delorean Motor Company was an American manufacturer that opened in 1975. By the time the first "Back to the Future" movie was released, the original owner had gone bankrupt.

The headquarters of DeLorean is in a small town called Humble, in Texas, next to the intercontinental airport. They still recondition and sell them there. It's the largest DeLorean dealership in the world. Humble was also the home of Humble Oil Company, now ExxonMobil, and also Texaco, and is also the birthplace of Howard Hughes.

“Will only take you as far back as the 80s”

I’m ok with that

As a huge DMC fan and who gets all the emails for the new parts / upgrades you can make with this insanely easy to manage and fix vehicle, this makes me jealous! Congrats on such a great find!!!

No one thinks that the new DeLorean reminds them of the original DeLorean, except the gull-wing doors. The reason why Hyundai N Vision 74 looks like the original DeLorean is because N Vision 74 is the remake of 1974 Hyundai Pony Coupe that was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro who later, designed the original DeLorean. This is one of the biggest reasons why many DeLorean fans love it. It has a huge connection with the original designer. Now, if it came with gull-wing doors, the transformation would be complete.

It may be a crappy car, but I would still love to own one someday. Gives me some cool 80s vibes.

Now that’s what I call a Barn Yard Find!

I want one so bad, I saw the one from back to the future in person and became obsessed.

Ironic it was in a barn for years Marty crashed the DeLorean in a barn and they thought he was alien and the car a spaceship 😂

The Delorean Motor Company was NOT an American manufacturer as you stated. All the original cars were built in Ireland. John Delorean hated unions and wanted to make them cheap. They were cheaply made alright.

Beautiful! I've always loved the car.😊👍

[sircasm]

The story of DeLorean is much more romantic than riding in one

One of these passed by me a year ago. Man is it beautiful

Im not gonna lie that thumbnail made whats left of my brain fall out of my head

I guess the original didn't even do a 1000 mile oil change too then

I was treated to a short drive in a DMC once. I was 6'0" 155 lbs at the time. It was not easy to get in and out of. I bumped my head and knee. Once in I felt I had a limited view of the surroundings. I fit in the seat quite nicely. I'd rather drive my compact car.

These 80s and 90s cars look so much better than all the melted jellybeans we call ''Cars'' today....

people can mess with the mileage to make it less miles
