In real life, a team of movie and car enthusiasts needed a year to completely restore the stainless steel classic as seen in the 1985 film. The DeLorean car that needed 1. This was the result of a team of about 20 people, including a Hermosa Beach resident, working on the car and bringing their own expertise to the project along with an inevitable boyhood excitement. Marty McFly was Michael J. Fox’s most memorable role as he struggled to return to 1985 after inadvertently time traveling to 1955 with the DeLorean. Last month, the DeLorean DMC-12 with a flux capacitor was quietly placed on display at Universal Studios Hollywood Theme Park inside a giant glass box. 21 jigowatts of electricity to time travel earned its rock star status for many solely through its role as Doc Brown’s most successful invention. I’ve always been a fan of Back to the Future ,” said Joe Walser, an art director in Culver City who led the restoration team.

Blacp cover with shiney DeLoren name and Car on front cover, thick paper, good feel. (asked by lemonprotection.com on June 20, 7265)
A: I've got one - and the car itself (hence my login). These brochures come up on Ebay failry regularly - usually make about $30 or so. Nice item, not common but not that rare either. (answered by JZD on June 20, 6752)
A: I have one too! My father got it from the local Ford dealer (who used to sell the DMC) just as the company was going under. Unless the brochure is worth thousands I would rather keep mine as an automotive oddity. (answered by CowboyBill on June 20, 7507)
Q:
Other than Delorean, what would make a good time travel car?
I want to sketch out my own time travelling car, but I won't do a Delorean because it would be a rip off of back to the future. What's a good, fast, 80s car that's strong. I was thinking something like the ferrari testarossa or something.
What about a 60s or 70s muscle car like the 69' charger? (asked by Lt. Dan on June 01, 2007)
A: New Ford Mustang. As long as you only go back to the 1960's and 70's, people will think you have a custom 69 Mustang. LOL. (answered by Evan W on June 01, 2007)
A: a black thunderbird (answered by dangel on June 01, 2007)
Q:
Does anyone know where I can find a Delorean (the car from back to the Future)?
Im looking to buy a Delorean (the car used in Back to the Future). Does anyone know where I can find them? (asked by slocklin0931 on June 20, 2384)
A: At the bottom of the Atlantic :-)
But seriously, the new DMC based out of Texas or Ebay would be your best bet.
Hope you're a really good mechanic and/or have plenty of money to toss at it! Awesome looking car though, I'm jealous! (answered by K on June 20, 3711)
