    This is one of seven DeLoreans used on screen in the Back to the Future trilogy. This particular car was used in the third movie for the 1955 drive-in movie scene when Michael J. Fox drives it into the past and lands in 1885 to find Doc. Of the seven DeLoreans, only three have survived since filming, and this is one of those three - the only one in private hands. The others are still owned by Universal Studios, and usually on display at the theme parks.

    Seriously, how is it that Jake and Logan Paul become the faces of UA-cam by pretty much committing crimes and making dumb, unfunny, all around pointless vlogs and this guy actually takes time and dedication into making these amazing documentary like videos and only gets 49,000 subs? Goes to show how dumb the people at UA-cam Headquarters are for not dropping the Pauls and erasing their channels completely! Just like FanboyFlicks, this is one of the most underrated UA-cam channels ever.

      It's not so surprising. Most people are idiots, and stupidity breeds stupidity.
      You could also say that a deep love for cars is perhaps not something that appeals to the majority of viewers, but on the other hand,
      those few thousand people who do get it, will be a hell of a lot more faithful to a channel like this, than the ones who just go along with
      whatever's popular at the time. The Logan bastards will be long gone soon enough, whereas a video like this will remain forever.

    Seeing those pictures of those deteriorating DeLoreans actually almost made me cry. It always saddens me to see beautiful old cars "suffer" so much, especially one such as such special DeLoreans.
    I live in Brazil and I love Back to the Future. Always have. One of my life goals is to one day be able to at least get to sit in a DeLorean, even if just as a passenger. BTTF replica or original, doesn't matter. I just want to have the chance to someday get close to one for real. It may not be a good car, but it's such a beautiful and cool looking one! If I had the money, I'd definitely import one from the US and care for it as I'd care for a son or daughter. Such precious car must be preserved.

It is such a satisfying, enjoyable, and ironically timeless piece of cinematic entertainment. The first film holds up so well, even 30+ years later. The sequels, not so much. But still. It's a legendary franchise.

It was like seeing an old friend again after all those years. I can't think of anything else, any place or thing that I would make an effort to do that with that, other than the Delorean from Back to the Future. I can't explain in words how much of an impact these films had on me as a kid growing up in the 80's, and no doubt there will be countless other people who have similar stories to tell about these fantastic films, and these amazing cars.

And to have this gem in privat hands makes it more important. I would change that beetle engine though into somthing more powerful and i would sink the front, to drive it properly and see the road.
    I saw many videos of BTTF Delorians and they restaurations. All together are amazing and wonderful. This car is realy, so to say "timeless". Everyone will recognize it, i know even in a 100 years. Why? Because this trilogy will stay and the heroes in it will live forever.

The story that Bill told about how if the Delorean wasn't a failure, it wouldn't be what it is today really got to me. It makes me appreciate the car's history rather than try to ignore it. Plus, seeing how trashed the car looked before the Dos Santos family picked it up and seeing how pristine and amazing it looks now...it's just...wow. Videos and people like this are why I'm so proud to be a back to the future fan. Chris, thank you for the wonderful video. I keep coming back to it every couple weeks just to rewatch it.

    Great video, the car is amazing. I live down the road from the former Delorean factory in Dunmurry. At the time the cars were being produced a family friend who was an engineer was called in to help make the gull-wing doors actually fit as they had problems closing them. As a kid, shortly after the factory closed, before it was purchased by another company, you could see, virtually abandoned a sea of Deloreans, unsold. It was very sad because there was a lot of pride put into making them, the films actually helped restore some of that pride and there are plenty of people who own the cars and go on lots of excursions in them.

    Huh, part 2 appealed to him the least? Personally I loved that movie the most. The whole idea of traveling to the future and seeing how the world has advanced is really cool. Not to mention Mr Fusion and the hover mode was just cool as hell.

    I 'm a big BTTF fanboy, and this story is incredible! I would never had imagined a VW aircooled engine under the hood of this De Lorean! Here in Brazil, there were lots of aircooled (VW) cars in the 60s-80s/90s, and some of them are working today in the hands of lots of old car collectors! Congrats for sharing all of this with us. I am an old car collector and passionate old car fan and I must confess that this brought tears to my eyes. I am very happy for having bumped into this video! Congrats, guys, God bless you.

    Extremely well made video!!!.....This was a joy to watch for 25mins & it grabbed my attention to want to watch for my love of Back To The Future.....It's great to see people like this keep the memory of this movie alive and how much it meant to them and how much they enjoyed it..... And it's very true what the Father said, That if it happen to be on when ppl would be trying to find something to watch if they knew this movie was on they'd stop and watch it even though they've probably seen it a heap times before...... I know personally that when ever these movies are on I have to watch them & if it happens to be the first one I have to without question watch the other two right after....... The Back to the Future franchise is without question in my Top 5 movies of all time..... And I say again, Very well made video!!!

    As a huge back to the future fan, I have to say the feeling of getting to own and drive that would be surreal. I would want to drive that to work everyday but I would be paranoid of people tearing off all the pieces.

  • @CaptainMyCaptain33
    @CaptainMyCaptain33 6 років тому

    When I was in elementary school in the 80s there was a girl who was dropped off and picked up every day by her dad in a DeLorean. This was after BTF1 but before BTF2 and 3. So it was the cooooolest car to see everyday. Everyday kids would say the exact same thing. “There is the back to the future car”! Nobody really called it the DeLorean. Though we knew what it was. That car was mint too. Like off the showroom floor mint. Was such a big deal seeing just the car stock. Unlike Star Wars it was something you could physically see and stand next too. When part 2 came out the hype was Hover boards. But I always loved the car. Reminds me of being a kid. Reminds me when movies were still amazing and people took risks making them. When the sets were still huge, real practical sets (the last one to my knowledge being done for gangs of New York- though technically it wasn’t all built from scratch) that you could go to California and see at universal studios. I was born just in time to see the end of a golden age of cinema. Timeless classics that make us pay a half million dollars to preserve the real, physical life of those films.
    It’s funny. I was born in Ireland (I am an O’Shea oddly enough). Moved here to the US when I was very young. Moved back and forth from the east and west coasts (Florida and Oregon) And that allowed me to see two of the real BTF cars and the Hill valley set. Whenever I do Islands of adventure in Orlando I buy the park hopper pass to see the car and train over in the studio lot side. But also because now they have the Simpson’s Springfield part of that park. I literally grew up in the real Springfield, not the one fans picked. But the real one in Oregon that it was based on and that Matt Groening lived in.
    Nostalgia everywhere haha.
    Anyway. Thanks for sharing this video. Was well done. Great car. Cool to see a Shea family owns it.

    I wish I had come across this video sooner but I'm glad I found it now. The Bttf 3 car is and always will be my favorite of the time machines. I am brought to tears now knowing she survived filming, survived Universals neglect (not to say it was intentional but it is what it is) the 3 car has so much magic about her; special beyond words and I thank you for making this video and thank you to the folks who have given her another lease on life. You're heroes in my book. Thank you.

  • @Stu047
    @Stu047 5 років тому +1

    Excellent video!
    As an eighties kid who likes cars and loves Back to the Future, I absolutely do indeed possess an ever present nostalgia for that era, that franchise as well as a nerdy fanboy enthusiasm for the DeLorean Time Machine.
    In 2013 a pal of mine pointed me to a restoration blog for this very car where I learned of its story and the players involved, namely Bill and Brian; as a fan I was naturally a little more than curious to know what happened to these cars. Seeing the images of this car during its chapters of abuse and neglect broke my heart; fortunately that was not to be this car's ultimate fate. Thanks to the dedication of Brian Dos Santos the BTTF3 car probably looks better now than it ever did on screen and it's in the hands of somebody who clearly gives a damn.
    My inner fanboy was so elated by this happy ending that I felt compelled to reach out to both Bill and Brian and express my appreciation.
