35-Year Garage Find: Original-Owner 1982 DMC-12 with 1,600 Miles
"The DeLorean was always more important as a cultural artifact than a car, but at least now the market knows it."
— Revvly Take
This is the unicorn scenario—a time capsule DeLorean that's been sleeping since Reagan's first term, now surfacing on BaT with nearly virgin miles. Original owner, unfinished stainless panels, gray leather, and that PRV 2.85-liter that never quite delivered the performance promise. DMC-12s have finally stopped depreciating; clean examples now command real money.
