Gold Delorean
Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Gold Delorean
There were originally going to be 100 Gold Deloreans to be produced in 1981 for the American Express Christmas Catalogue, but only two were made; one with saddle interior and one with black interior.
The Deloreans were offered to American Express Gold cardholders,
appearing in the December 1979 American Express catalog. Each gold-plated Delorean was priced at $85,000, which was a lot for 1979. Insurance rates at the time came to approximately $1,000 a month because a small door ding had a potential repair cost of $24,000!
The third Gold Delorean was the last Delorean to be produced ( VIN 20105). It was built using spare parts made from the first two Gold Deloreans encase anything happened to those ones.
The first 24k 1981 gold Delorean is currently located in the National Automobile Museum in Reno Nevada. Sherwood Marshall donated the gold Delorean to the museum for insurance reasons.
The second 24k 1981 gold-plated Delorean, VIN 4301, was sold to a Texas banker in Snyder Texas. This gold Delorean has black interior. The gold-plated Delorean sits in a locked glass showcase in the lobby of the Snyder National Bank and has 0 miles and has never had gas put into it.
The third 24k 1983 gold Delorean, VIN 20105, is an automatic with tan “saddle” leather interior. This gold Delorean was assembled on Christmas eve 1982 and was offered in a promotional drawing by a department store and is currently privately owned by a man in Maryland
The gold Deloreans now have a estimated value at $125,000.00
