DeLorean lost in TIME, left for rot....

see what it does [Applause] how you doing brother that's not meet you Bruce Kevin Kevin so here you got a DeLorean somewhere oh and you got a pup what's his name this is max max Maximilian Maximilian there you go listen my brother Aaron girlfriend Amber how you doing awesome cameraman I don't miss it man all right you might walk me around here showing where it's at I heard you got hidden in the bushes people been trying to buy it and well yeah I got I picked it up a about five six years ago I'm a plumber I and I got it on a service pole so service call turned into taking a de Lorean home yeah it's a weird story I want to do a service call this lady old lady had the car actually wrapped around our house rug outside sorry this actually Hey I thought what the old kind of car is that and then she was like okay and then at the end of what I finished working on it in the house she said you want to take a look at so sure I unwrapped it yeah like lady there's no freaking DeLorean and she was like it's that movie thing so I thought she and I'm like but lady this is a DeLorean you have okay she had no idea what she had she hit a little bit we did a little bit so what happened was her husband had up what the car for heart disease she's original owner and the husband bought the car and he fought around proud as a peacock told her to jump in the car ooh Eddie why from here to around the corner and say oh this is nice and several the windows down and then go down and he didn't go down she jumped out ran home and never sat in the car again turns out she was close to these cars were like back in the day equivalent to today's sales price like $60,000 yeah you could buy like a brand new Corvette which was faster even though look at that Corvette scene record it was like the shittiest Corvette ever made but it was faster than the car paneled better and everything all around people still bought DeLorean crazy yeah he bought it for her and she never sat in the car again he passed away and long story short I was just kept hanging lady this is a real a DeLorean so she was just kept looking at me now she was like young man how much money you have on you I was like what like how much money you have on you I just did a service call so I'm like a couple hundred dollars she said give it to me and I was like you didn't buy it for two hundred dollars did you know I gave a five hundred dollars so she gave I gave a five hundred dollars and she said my husband will want you to have it check it out guys here it is as 82 right or 81 - 83 83 DeLorean Motor Car DeLorean so we went to O'Reilly Auto Parts is we're planning on coming out here because we do tons of wheel at start videos we haven't done many lately so this is like the one to redeem ourself okay and we said we have a 1982 DMC okay and the kid behind the counter is Joel at the floor he's like holy crap so he tries like I don't have a look up for it really nothing nothing in the computer so we do a ton of Google search and we've brought a lot of other stuff too oil change the oil pointing to battery starting fluid all that good stuff so we can do it right if we don't the imager car unfortunately guys he doesn't want to sell it sorry so the backstory to that is actually a friend of mine posted a video a picture of it on Facebook really I told you that yeah they posted a picture of it on Facebook where you right where it's sitting I guess he has trimming some trees around here or something and saw it they said look at this guy's and that's it I was like holy crap so I mention it like where is this car at like tell me right now so that's why I sent my brother out here we didn't really have an address he's knocking on every door in your neighborhood and how is that a town trying to find it and so that's where that's how I found the car guys is a Facebook post led to coming down here and knock on a bunch of doors and here we are Wow okay didn't know that and didn't want to sell it Aaron's like any well it's 45 for a mile sold forty five hundred bucks no forty five thousand laughs that's what it's worth though I mean it really is if you can't where you gonna find another one well just a million-dollar question yeah that's debris another question and I'm just kind of letting it sit here I guess but today we're gonna pull it out of the weeds put it in your shed up front but we stopped to cover it up because I don't want anybody coming by and messing with this yes so I guess we're not the first people come by and pester him about his de Lorean though but thankfully you let us come out here and shoot a wheel at start video guy so I guess the first things first we're going to go over the car see what everything it needs off me and try to get it cleaned up and I'm gonna get out you guys okay all right reset you letting us mess with it brother problem max let's go see you later max all right I'll said well I've got the camera now I'm you am i pulling the truck back here with all of our stuff in it we're gonna go over this thing and see what all these guys [Music] so first things first guys that I noticed is the car has flat tires and thankfully we have our air compressor and all that good stuff we're gonna pull the truck I guess up here and we're gonna get the front tires air to try everything cleaned off of it thankfully brought our blower and all that good stuff so we get it cleaned up try get it pushed out of here and try start guys the first thing we're gonna do I guess is grab the handy dandy air blower out of here and blow this thing off [Applause] step1 clean car up to the best of my ability step 2 here's tyre stuff first things first guys like I said our second things first we're going to go ahead and get tires stared up on it and there's three of us here well four of us go to Kevin's even get pushed out of the weeds here find where the battery goes see we get started like I'm standing in poison ivy a brand new tires on he says been sitting like five years since he's acquired in five years ago just he's getting hooked around the art so maybe we can uh even drives this was more perfect yeah you guys are probably wondering what makes this car so special if you don't already know this car was featured in the major motion picture Back to the Future in 1985 I think it was Aaron's doing some research right now is definitely 1985 I've seen all three films great shows you go check them out I'll probably throw some monologue in here from the movie but that's what makes this car so iconic even though there's not like 3,000 left in existence that we know of it only makes like 120 horsepower something like the hundred thirty five horsepower anyway if you get the tires aired up we'll go over some more history on it once you get it pushed out of here so here comes Kevin maybe help us push it back out of the woods the most iconic thing about these cars is the gold wing doors guys and they always have issues and this car has 60,000 miles on it and said yeah somewhere around there so they're always lazy and I think he made you made these yeah because it's so heavy and we're dropping on people Austin come over here I'll show the inside this thing this car so far ahead of its time in making me - she's absolutely nuts see somebody's got some old Sony explodes back to here where's the légion audio the légion I don't know lightning something like that crazy this is nuts man this is unbelievable I've never seen one person who strives me crazy that to have one right here in front of us Aaron you wanna see me push it out amber you wanna steer don't hit your head alright Aaron there we go yeah we are the fires up usually mess of tractors and stuffs we pull them out the truck reminds me some help our Subarus are kicking it just bits in here we go left then arises a most of my college last hegets everybody drove a DeLorean yeah we steered it we're gonna go right here I think all right all right put it in park whoa all right Kevin so obviously we know nothing about it and you've had it for five years I'm sure you've tinkered with us so how do we see this high horsepower engine the back of this thing guys oh boy do we need to blow this off right quick or anything you think yeah oh man look at all that horsepower this is crazy it's got an engine in the trunk like that what is that is there also the intakes missing I'm assuming dang this is crazy look at that guess the carburetor guys this thing is fuel-injected - holy crap see this injection pump right here in the middle we know I don't know think about this engine guy so don't completely obliterate me in the comments but AC compressor is locked up that's nice you imagine LS swapping one of these how much hate we would get though this is pretty crazy oh it's got a Franck dang I know it's pretty old holy crap a solid aluminum on you that is nuts that might days where you put the gas in it oh you gotta open this front to put fuel in it yeah right yeah I want to see what the fuel smells like sure smells nice oh man that is not good Kevin [Laughter] my bad people so his plans are to take this thing to the new DMC company they're here in Florida somewhere he said yeah sent to Florida off of OBT so they're they're gonna restore it back to original condition for you because they've got a lot of reproduction parts and new old stock and stuff like that so we see what our fuel looks like I guess our first step would be to see if the key turns on that's the original serial number plate the original serial number six number lost an 81 so that's uh yeah this is oh yeah there's 81 older than I thought there you go guys a lot of people like to see the VIN numbers they can do some research on it see the history I know this is Tony made 10,000 and this is number 35 so that's nuts well there you have it guys VIN wiki you can look up all the stuff there where's the battery I've got to find the battery the batteries behind the back seat probably would have never found it I think it's that site right there okay so it's got an on-off switch somebody put in there now there's a there's the battery so it's got a top post battery and we've actually bought the correct battery a side post yeah hopefully the the hardware is in there so let me see if we get the same drug out without the going door that's a baby battery let's see if the huggers in here hopefully don't see anything not looking good yet all right maybe we got some hardware with us we can [ __ ] works these like 3/8 bolts or might need to fine okay yeah I need to find some bolts they'll go in there [Music] the camera justice sound those things already like super plain he started super clean chef super clean it's already pretty clean but he's kept up on it a lot I guess we'll roll back to the trunk the trunk you got no brakes well first things first guys we're gonna check the oil in and we've seen the fuels probably in really bad shape he thinks that if we put some maybe a little bit of fresh gas in it and hits a start fluid and may fire up but we want to check the oil it's got some in it it looks clean check that out it's at the mark so oil check it's got an automatic transmission in it you can't see the transmissions I'll see a dipstick who was trekking here alright so I guess what we're gonna do with the starter button right here let's make sure it spins over and nothing's like binding up or anything I'll go inside the car and turn it on that's what happens it's crazy oh maybe you guys can tell us some comments started but intervenor there's bacteria right back here okay some it spins over to check how it's going all right see what kind of cheese we're working with in here okay that's definitely not a car for a big person yeah it definitely feels like it's fast sitting in here those little looks yes let feels fast cuz it's it's so low but it can't be that fast especially that little tiny motor first thing we have to look at is this key I don't know it has a LED light on it well it must be the door key yeah and this must be the EDB teeny-weeny starter key crazy so on the - guys it's got sixty two thousand five hundred fourteen miles now your stuff clicking yeah mm oh right so don't start with the feet if you had to turn the key and then started from the back because it sounds like the starter so much yeah it does you hear it click ended all right well it's in park we know that I'm pretty positive maybe we'll go to the back use that starter button and I'll have Aaron or amber sitting here and they can Wi-Fi up Aaron sit here and watch the oil pressure and make sure nothing crazy happens I don't think this thing doesn't have power steering either and all right let's go do that I see lights on everywhere as why I need to hurt I need to went the doors here so what's up yeah he's on right now so it's you injected I hear like fuel pump fired up Wow you want to get in there maybe work with a little bit Aaron what you gonna do did you remember if you have it was there any gas on before of you have you ever put gas in it I've never even yeah I couldn't record that part all right well let's turn the key off and all right so we're putting fuel any guys as you can see the fuel Catholic we showed earlier in a videos pretty non good shape so I can't imagine like we were filling up at the gas station this under the hood here just spilling everywhere that's the group like this car well he wasn't given enough time and budget to build this car there's tons of movies about the future of the future the history of this car and all that stuff this is a freaking project could you imagine he meant problem is I don't know to leave the motor of meth in it it's a mess back there you imagine putting like a like a Porsche Boxter motor back there yeah I mean we're in a chassis and all that'll be sick they could be perfect toothless ah well there it is guys we got five gallons of fresh fuel in it fresh it's gonna get and Kevin did tell me he put a new fuel pump in it how long ago you think by the year and it didn't start there did you try I didn't try and put a pump in it so we can see it right down there the brand new so you want to see if you can hear it run and maybe while I turn the key on see it right there I don't know anything here it buzz oh I hear something buzzing no I think that's just an inside buzzer from the night great starter relate [ __ ] so we know it's got fire and this sounds like a no it's not the fuel pump that's it something's running there don't know what it is I only see any fuel pressure transports anywhere it's got all kinds of like Oh to sensor injectors and there's so much going on it's weird because it doesn't have a butterfly like a throttle valve yeah it does right here well penny it's a Volvo engine yeah yeah I dunno it's a Volvo engine that's what they put in it yes there we go engines we don't have any fuel getting back here anywhere is a problem Wow let's bring out the test light and see if we can find a bad fuse and we're all right cool that's a fancy-looking spirits higher Emily a futuristic spare tire jeez the fuel pumps right here he said replace some fuel lines to crazy-looking stuff look at that that's just a DeLorean Motor Company well you bought this from DMC the fuel pump yeah O'Reilly didn't have it you mean to tell me did you wire this up word someone else do it somebody else to do that why are those Bad's they just bypassed it [Music] oh there's our fuse box of a couple burnt wires in there so what we're gathering guys with a fuel pump issue we see it runs off starting flow so I got spark and everything's working back there but you can see right here where someone has link cut kind of halfway like tied the wires together around this plug and we've got the fuel pump is reading or the fuel sitting is reading so we know it's got level we got power going through whatever this module is right here but it's not getting power of the fuel pump so don't forget something all the relays or something else going on so I'm gonna talk with the owner maybe we can get him to let us come back out for a part two and I'll come back out a little bit more knowledge on what we're working with and try to get actually start if you notice no we don't give up on will it stars we don't stop until they start and run so we do a little bit more research on this and try to figure it out so you said that he took it to a mechanic and they replaced the fuel pump and it never it didn't run like a supposed to so obviously there's still some underlying issues and a little bit of research I have done these are like wiring nightmare cars so back in here leave this thing be for now and we'll see if we can start up more time and I will show you guys the wiring messes so in here guys is the wiring of this car and you can see where someone's already been all through here changed a couple changeover relays or something I'm not sure there's like a row of relays have been sitting in water or water is collected down in there I'm sure these are all corroded up also from water so we have a lot there's a lot that needs to happen to make sure this car run and start like it should the gauges are working and things like that but it's got a lot of issues so yeah we know it starts it runs ignition works this right here the thing is running I think this is another fuel pump correct me if I'm wrong maybe it's a some kind of pump for the emission system you guys can let me know it goes down here comes over to their side somewhere I don't know I need do some research guys because we came out here coming blind so let me know what that little little module is there [Music] all right so it looks like this right here is the gauge to make the fuel distribution block right here operate of some kind I know this is definitely some foreign stuff so I appreciate it man you let us come out and try it so if Kevin gave us the go-ahead for round 2 we don't know what it's gonna be how you do some research okay and you've never got to drive it nope so whether or not we how are the fuel pump so you can drive around the yard at least before it goes in for a full restoration we don't want to I don't want to cut into any of the wires or anything like that or try to wire in a new relay because you're sending off a restoration so we don't want to mess with any like the original wiring mess someone's already messed with so that means you have to hotwire I feel pump and make it run that's we're gonna do the oils good so any change oil repaired hope you guys enjoyed the video the will it start we get to see Aaron Aaron in a while since Aaron's been out on the video it's been what - every months last wheel a survey you know the semi truck the video yeah it's been a while so hopefully this video gets to a million views guys it would be freaking awesome if it does make sure you smash that like button and shout the Kevin for let's come out into a video will be on your posturing you again real soon you guys push it up there and under the shelter there he'll appear for next time and that way you guys got better access to it all right man I appreciate everything so much you guys later please subscribe [Music] [Music]

Wow... new fuel into an old rusty tank. No oil or filter change. Didnt lube the cylinders. Revving the engine when it's clearly at least one cylinder isn't firing... I hope they know how to do an engine and fuel system rebuild facepalm

[u/Franknumberfive]

Something just doesn’t seem right, correct me if I’m wrong. First off this guy bought the car off the original owner. The original owners wife drove it once and then parked it, never to drive it again. Then this guy buys it and says he parked it and never drove it or started it. Here’s where I’m confused, so who put the aftermarket radio in it with removable faceplate. The new owner also said he put in a new fuel pump from DMC but yet you didn’t drive it or even start it? For me it just seems like some information is being left out. Also who did that weird start button in the engine compartment?

[u/roostie02]

How does someone get a DeLorean and do nothing with it...? Kinda cringed watching them start it without even looking at the oil filter or anything

[u/martydmc12]

Not smart trying to restart a car that's been sitting this long. The faster the owner gets it to DMC Florida and Tony, the better. If the owner actually takes it there. The owner doesn't seem that interested at all in it, just bought it on a whim I think.

I think these guys are actually trying to help, but someone needs to tell them that this car especially should not be restarted after this long of a time just sitting.

[u/dubbs911]

The bottom line is , this guy scored! $500 for a Delorean, thats amazing, and this car is in much better shape than many.

Obvious clickbait

Who in the FUCK ditched a DeLorean in a GOD DAMN FOREST
