Service performed in preparation for the sale reportedly included the replacement of the ignition cylinder, fuel pump, pressure accumulator, battery, brake master cylinder, calipers, and fuel lines as well as a service of the fuel-injection system.
The Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed DMC-12 features brushed stainless steel body panels mounted over a fiberglass underbody and a steel chassis derived from the Lotus Esprit. Exterior details include gull-wing doors, rear window louvers, black bumper covers, and quad headlights.
The 14″ front and 15″ rear turbine-style wheels are mounted with Goodyear NCT HR60 tires. The DMC-12 features a four-wheel independent suspension with coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers. Braking is handled by power-assisted discs at all four corners. Replacement brake calipers were installed in preparation for the sale along with a brake master cylinder, pads, and flex lines.
The cabin features bolstered gray leather seats along with a matching dashboard, center console, and door panels. The gray carpets are protected by black DMC-branded floor mats, and additional equipment includes power accessories, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, and a rear parcel net. The air conditioning system is inoperable.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames an 85-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows under 12k miles.
The rear-mounted 2.85-liter V6 was jointly developed by Peugeot, Renault, and Volvo. Factory-rated output was 130 horsepower and 153 lb-ft of torque. A replacement ignition cylinder and battery were installed in preparation for the sale, while a service of the fuel-injection system included the installation of a replacement lambda sensor, fuel pressure check valve, warm-up regulator, and fuel injectors as well as a rebuild of the fuel distributor.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transaxle. Additional fuel system service performed in preparation for the sale included the installation of a replacement fuel pump, pressure accumulator, filter, lines, fittings, and rubber intake components.
