About this 1981 Delorean DMC-12

VIN: SCEDT26T3BD001778

This is an estate sale. I'm listing it at above the appraised value because I think the value is a little low. If you think I'm crazy, make your best offer. (Yes, I admit I have a personal attachment to the car.)

The car was running about 6 years ago. But it's been sitting ever since. About 3 years ago we tried to start it, but it would not start. We expect the carbs are shot and need to be rebuilt. The interior is poor. I don't know the actual miles, but I think it's well under 100K.
