There were several vehicles used in the making of the BTTF
saga, but the A car was the best, most detailed unit used on all three films.
Apparently it has been left outside for a long time and is in need of serious
TLC. Some say it sat outside the BTTF ride at Universal Studios, others say it
sat in a car lot with other busted movie vehicles, but either way the car is now in a state of serious
disrepair.
The people he has hired to do the restoration are Joe Wasler, J
Ryan, and Terry Matalas, all of whom have been involved in creating perfect
BTTF DeLorean replicas in the past. Not only will they need a team of
specialists to restore the vehicle to working order, they will also have to pay
extra special attention to the many elements that make this car a unique piece
of film history.
Bob Gale has taken to
the internet to appeal for all fans of the movie to return any original parts
of the car to them, or to let them know where they can get new ones (if anyone has
such information). The movie’s popularity has seen original parts get sold and
passed around over the years, so some pieces of the original are missing. He has created a Facebook page and Twitter
account to connect with fans that may have information on the missing parts,
and for anyone interested in following the restoration process.
It will be fun to see this unique car go through its own
time machine – question is, when it’s done, where do you think it will end up?
