DeLorean sign for sale SOLD
DeLorean Dealer Sign. Backlit. Uses standard fluorescet bulbs, all of which were broken when I bought the sign. I have not tested the ballasts. This could be 120 or 240 volt, no idea. Sign is literally 12 feet long. I was told they weighed 400lbs when I bought it, but I don't think that's realistic. I haven't weighed it but would guess 250lbs +/- 50lbs is a reasonable estimate.
Stainless on the front is in good shape. Just needs a good cleaning. The lines you see are not really "damage", just scuff marks and would clean up real easy.
Blue overspray from something. It was there when I bought the sign. Would polish off of the stainless with ease, but that white backing should be replaced.
Cracks in the letter "O". Honestly, I would replace all of that white backing. Note that you do not have to cut the letters out: The letters themselves are cut out of the front of the sign. The white material is just rectangular sheets of white sign material siliconed behind the sign face, so it should be cheap to replace. The sign can not be taken apart easily, unfortunately, it is riveted together. All of the black paint really needs to be sanded and repainted, anyway. If you want to have a really perfect looking sign, you should drill the rivets out, take the whole thing apart, sand and repaint the black. The white stuff should be cut out from the back of the sign face (it appears it's just being held in with a big thick bead of silicon) and replaced, any sign shop should have the stuff. While it's out, finish repainting the front, and clean the stainless up. Then rivet it all back together.
Some interior pictures, below:
Top of sign. You can see the mounting brackets here, so this is a top mount sign. However, the sign could also be hung from the back - more pictures of that later.
Picture of the face & right upper mounting bracket.
Top & bottom panels. You can see the mounting holes in the upper panel.
Right side of sign interior. There is a bulb socket & bracket at the bottom (no bulb in it).
Interior viewed from the top of the sign.
Electric feed to upper bulb (the one that lights the "DMC" lettering). Bulb mounts under that metal piece.
You can see the left most lower bulb here. This bulb is actually there and intact, though I would throw it away and buy new ones. It's a standard 48" 40 watt fluorescent tube, you can pick them up for a couple bucks at any hardware store. The sign only takes three of them.
Left side of sign interior. The ballasts are mounted in that silver box (I presume; I've not opened it up). You can also see part of the lower left bulb & it's mounting socket here.
This looks to be the electrical input junction box. I would assume this is where one would add their power cord.
Another interior picture as viewed from the top. Camera lens was down in there a bit so you can't see the actual sign top here.
This picture and the two below it show the mounting holes on the back of the sign. These could be used to hang it from a wall.
