The rims are lexani 22 inch rims with continental tires. Ok so here is some things that are minor, but u should know paint has some chips and scratches and the bumpers need the plastic cap gasket that snap in. The old ones where removed when the bumpers where re chromed. There is a dent in the rear quarter panel. . The back window needs a quarter window chrome peace for the window. The passenger side has one and not the drivers side i All of the windows are power and work great and they need a slight adjustment as far as how they slide into the new gaskets we installed. The owner before me replaced the floor pans and had the name yo buck embroidered into the head rest.and he removed the A/C compressor,when he rebuilt the motor, but all of the A/c lines are still in places. This is all i know of that the car needs in which is minor considering the year of the car and the amount of work that has already been done.I am honest on all that i know and you may inspect the car before bidding and you are welcome to bring a mechanic as well to look over the car before bidding not after. The car is drove almost every other day and very road worthy and solid and catches a lot of attention when driving. This car has had a lot of money put in it and has not been treated like a hot rod. the car does not smoke or burn oil. and like i said jump in and go. The rims ride pretty smooth also and if you wanted to change them back to the originals it would cost around 800 with tires and you could sell these for a lot more. Ok so thats all the good and bad and this is the condition of the sale if you have a low score or no score please contact me before bidding and there will be a $ 1,000 deposit at the end of the auction. If you need the car shipped i can help with driving the car up on the car transport trailer and it will be up to you to make the arrangement with the shipping company.. I also wanted to place this in the ad that if you are planning on buying this car for a student in school please understand this car has a lot of power and needs to be expressed to them for there safety and others and hot rodding will only tear the car up and it's meant to cruise in. well other than that very fun car and nothing like dropping the top and hitting the road on a sunny day to cruise around listing to the rumble of an old muscle car.. Please feel free to ask any questions and if u need pictures of something i missed send me a message and ill get a picture to you. I am up for cash offers as well. The car will be up for sale in the local area and if it is sold that will end any auction in progress.!

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 DeLorean with 570-hp twin-turbo Buick V6 [w/videos]
Mon, 23 Dec 2013"Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" So asked one Marty McFly of his mentor Dr. Emmett Brown, who replied: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
Doc Brown was right, of course: with an exotic mid-engine layout, gullwing doors and stainless steel body, the DeLorean DMC-12 sure looked the part. It just needed a little more juice. Well this one might not have 1.21 gigawatts of time-bending power - that'd be more than one and a half million horsepower - but it does have more than the 150 hp in the the standard 2.8-liter V6.
That's because this particular DeLorean has had its stock Peugeot Renault Volvo engine swapped out for a Buick-sourced, all-aluminum, 4.3-liter V6 from the Grand National. Dutteiller Performance didn't leave the engine in stock form, either: while they were swapping it out, they added a pair of turbochargers, new pistons, crank, cams and much, much more.
2014 Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse recalled over brake mix-up
Thu, 08 May 2014The recall madness over at General Motors isn't letting up anytime soon, as evidenced by this latest call-back of 8,208 Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans. For those keeping track, this is the fifth recall that GM has announced in the past two weeks, not to mention the massive ignition-switch issue from earlier this year.
GM issued a statement saying these sedans are being recalled due to "possible reduced braking performance," according to Automotive News. The problem? Rear brake rotors may have accidentally been installed in the front brake assembly. And since both cars use more robust braking systems up front than out back, braking power could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Automotive News reports that, of the over 8,000 cars being recalled, about 1,700 are currently in the hands of customers, while the others are still in dealer inventory. GM is unaware of any crashes or injuries related to this problem. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2014 model year.
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
