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.
douglas mitchell thank you so much for such immensely kind words. It's true the landscape of UA-cam is a bit skewed but when people like you leave comments as you have it gives me the fuel to keep on going. Truth is m, UA-cam is hard. But you and your kind words make it easier. Thank you
theAFICIONAUTO No problem 👌😉
its because UA-cam is full of preteens that dont give a shit about any of this .. thats why
Because people are mindless sheep
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.
Tears dude, tears. They are such genuine people, and so are you. You all just get it. You're quite the filmmaker, too. Phenomenal job.
MrAviation101 thank you so much. I appreciate it greatly
theAFICIONAUTO keep up the good work with the channel. Your content has a consistent and unique style, and it looks like it’s working out great. The road to 100,000 subscribers is the hardest leg of a UA-camr’s journey. I just got my silver plaque in the mail the other day, it’s a good feeling. Your channel will rocket past that before you know it.
MrAviation101 thank you so much!! Yeah it's been a loooong journey for me so far. I can't wait to hit that milestone. That plaque already has a very special place reserved in my home.
I like your channel as well. It's been a long time dream to get my pilot's license!!
theAFICIONAUTO awesome! If you’re ever in Texas, shoot me an email (in the description of each of my videos) and we’ll go up on a flight. Im also a flight instructor.
MrAviation101 that would be amazing!!! I've done a couple introductory classes where they let me do take off and then fly around. They said I was pretty good at it. Where in Texas are you?
When a grown man sees a De Lorean. It is perfectly acceptable to cry.
Martys truck is the only truck id ever want.. so sporty
I would want the truck and a stock DeLorean.
No joke. The closest you can get is a colorado now, meh
I wanted one so bad, that I bought one when I was 16. Same wheels, same roll bar, only difference was that it was the 1985 TURBO 4x4, and was that medium blue. :)
Try a new Ranger! The sports car truck. Gen2 turbo 300hp EcoBoost motor. Tons tech /features. Driving is believing!
@@hypercube33 new Ranger FX4 is best in class & blast to drive sporty Gen2- 300hp EcoBoost motor + 10spd auto box.
The end of an era, soon, CGI will replace things like this, leaving nothing to cherish. Creating these items is art, it takes a real craftsman to take an idea and bring it to life.
bttf had cgi too
CGI is going to replace actors too. Then no more Hollywood or award ceremonies.
If Bugs Bunny can become a personality to millions, the same can happen to CGI characters. Why pay someone millions just to say a few lines on camera? Besides, the audience of the future will have grown up with video game "actors" and not even think twice about it.
@@phuckewe178 no pretty sure there's a law for that, which if you didn't already know was made because of a back to the future backlash
Christopher Nolan disagrees.
Not one of the best, THE best trilogy of all time, period. Beautiful vid.
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.
I couldn't agree more
Ha! I got to sit in a delorean from the first movie. It wasn't a real one but it was a replica! I saw it in a dealership I freaked out and ran in and asked if I could sit in it. They said yes and turned on all the light up props!
My employer has one. It is a head turner but not a brilliant car. Overweight and with the visibility of a letterbox. I don't like them but would say they are iconic.
Bom dia amigo brasileiro. Esse é um carro lindo!
@@triumphstagdriver the weight isn't that terrible, the engine is just a bit crap.
Man that engine sounds rough.
Old bugs always sound rough
@@kirincomstock6902 Poorly maintained bugs sound rough. But heck you can find old air cooled VW engines that's been laying for years and they start right up and run smoothly.
For the history of this car I'd personally say $541,000 is a bargain, since Back to the future is a classic which hopefully will stay that way indefinitely so in a hundred years people could still appreciate this car.
back to the future is a shit movie
You're a shit person
+Josh B so what? just because I don't like the movie you know me now? you are a coward. one look and you'd be stepin outa the fuckin way pup. sick puppy...
Some art is just incontrovertibly great. I'm sort of convinced that you can't be a good person and not at least like BTTF. 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.
wrong
The couple of pics after 16:27 breaks my heart. How sad it is seeing it sitting in that spot, all dirty, dusty, frickin' branches/bushes all over the rear...
Makes me wish I could've walked up to it and YELL at the Universal Studio's people.
I'll tell you what movie quote is going through my head while looking at that "IT SHOULD BE IN A MUSEUM!"
The Ecto 1's led a similar fate till they were saved.. what a shame what they let happen to them
MyCatInABox I can remember going on the Back Lot tour at Universal Studios Hollywood and seeing the original movie/TV cars behind a fence. BTTF 2 delorean, Griff's convert from BTTF 2 magnum PI Ferrari, A-Team van and others. 2 years later they were drug out so the Tram would pass by to see them better. All they did was hose them off and add a hand made sign in front of them. So sad.
there is another video showing the decay of the shark used in Jaws 4 IIRC. Although a horrible movie, it was still sad seeing the shark decay and eventually removed all together
Ill be honest, I almost cried. Universal couldn't figure out a way to make money with it, so they just didn't give a shit. I couldn't work there, pass by those cars everyday, and not ask if we could take care of them a little better.
If that drive-in movie theater from part 3 still exists, one day, they've got to see if they can get it to 88 there.
A delorean can barely do 88 downhill with a tailwind as it is..
If it still exists, I bet they will buy it too.
Tay S The top speed of the DMC 12 was 110mph.

An friend of a friend owns one that was stock before a Chevy LS swap and I cam tell you that is a pretty hopful number. Or you'd need a large hill and long runway. Those Renault 6 are painful.
That drive in was constructed in Monument Valley, UT for the movie. Torn down when they were done with it.
DeLorean time machine is the only car that gives me goosebumps love it
Ah feels like yesterday. sigh... What a wonderful generation to be a teenager, i feel so lucky to have lived through it.
"I'd buy more but I like being married" lol tell it how it is
This was my favorite Delorean, even though it was only in the third film for a few minutes. I loved the white wall tires, and the extra components on the hood
“Most expensive DeLorean...” first words of the video: “it’s a VW dune buggy.”
Having these guys 20 min from my house is insane. I haven't been to their 'museum' yet, but I've seen the cars at local appearances! These two are living my dream... glad these cars are all together and with people that really care.
my goodness this was epic production quality. Better than the big companies. Man... bravo
TRY to HELP you thanks so much!! I really appreciate it
I'm a huge BTTF fanboy. And this video made my heart melt and also made me smile the whole time. Well well done. 👍👍
Please do the car run properly and never ever sell it or let it down. This car is a piece of art, but more important, a big piece of movie history. Everybody knows this car. Everybody will recognize it, even in a hundert years in the future.
I usualy never hit the like button. But here i will!
it is my favorite car of the trilogy it is fantastic to see how they could restore it and restore the greatness to such an iconic and loved car how is the delorean
That engine needs therapy.
I have owned loads of beetles but never heard one run so baldy as this. Carb and ignition system, timing props needs resetting. Really is poor.
Edgar Beat
Drove a beach buggy in Cozumel Mexico, they didn't wanna start, random stalls, crazy shift detents.
I had a flashback watching this, even down to that high RPM 1st clutch release.
They have confirmed the car has been tuned up since the filming of this video and runs tip-top now.
Cody Glive Thank God that was torture to watch. Too mechanically sympathetic to motors :) I love that car.
Cody Glive I was wondering if they were running it on whisky / bourbon. Would explain the bad running :)
As a former DMC owner i have to say this is an amazing video. Thank you!
The care and love put into the time vehicle and the camera work really highlighted how beautiful the Delorean is. Well done, I got a little choked up seeing a piece of my childhood being preserved like this.
Doc Emmett Brown would be proud!
I cried at the end. This was my franchise as a kid. So many beautiful memories. Thank you.
Keith _ thank you!!
Beautifully made video
JurassicCollectables thanks so much!!
yes, Beautifully made video
I Agree
Professionally done video. Great work, real documentary.
I normally don't write much on the internet (probably less than on one hand) and like most times in life, speak when you have something important to say. This time, I do stand for the effort you put in how beautifully made this documentary is. It sparked a lot of emotion and paired with the passion put into the car itself to restore it, care for it and keep it as a part of our movie Americana. Awesome job!!!
Springload Ozzey thank you!! I really appreciate your well written and very kind comment
Back in '93 I went to Universal Studios in Florida and stood next to one of the original cars from Back to the Future. 25 years later I went back and had my photo taken again with the same car. 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.
This literally made me cry. I am a 36 year old man who has probably spent half of his life line. I just went back in time when i was young. My father was alive. There was nothing to worry about. Life was simple. Thank you for making this. I wish i could go back...
press horn to start
1marcelfilms perfect, juuuuust perfect
Hit head here 😂
wow its not everyday that you see a video done this well and that its about one of the most iconic cars ever
This car is iconic, and I'm glad it's in good hands. Your channel brings a documentary and polished feel to it which I really love! I wish more car people should know about this channel! Hats off to the DeSantos family, they singehandedly saved a world famous movie prop from extinction.
You can't put a price tag on something that is very sentimental to the heart. You are truly blessed to have one of the final cars used on set and had it restored to it's glory. One thing I haven't figured out with part 3 what was the engine sound cover for the car to make it sounds so agressive, awesome and a new attitude. I did like this version of the Delorean the best, but to ever have the privilege to drive one or even own own would be a dream come true.
So lovely to see such a classic in the flesh. You must be very proud!
Gave me a tear to my eye there at the end. I'm glad to hear that other people have the same love and admiration for these films as I do. Im also gald that this screen used DeLorean is now in good hands. It's a special film that will always have that sentimental place in my heart. 🥰
Never in my life have I ever cried so hard about cars especially a movie car for the film I will never stop watching, thanks to the Dos Santos family we can see this car and tell are kids and grandkids about the films we grew up watching, thank you to the Dos Santos family
Videos like this are the only reason I haven't walked away from UA-cam. Thank you.
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 literally live 15 minutes from this guys shop... awesome.
I love this car, the movie, and the guys who restored it
This is my favorite version of the Delorean because the Doc built it with love. He gave himself instructions on how to repair the time circuits with parts from the 1950's. He wanted to save Marty but when Marty found out the Doc was going to be killed he went back to the old west to save him. I have a model of this car which I cherish very much. Thanks for sharing.
man tears might have formed around 18mins in where it's apart and the music changes to make the feels rise.. actually man tears were almost happening through out the whole video.
My God, I love that man! Thank you for taking the time to show true history.
Thank you so much, for posting this, and sharing this car with the world!! There were moments when I actually shed a few tears watching this... there is a blanket of comfort knowing this car is owned and loved by a true fan!
Great video! Pure nostalgia! I found myself smiling the entire time. I'm buying a DeLorean next week. Super excited.
Edit: Just got to the part where he talked about bringing smiles to people's faces. Mission accomplished gents!
By far my favorite movie franchise of all time! Excellent video and car restoration!
Such an amazing piece of history. Very well restored. Such a beautiful piece to do a documentary, it brought a tear to my eye and gave me tingles up my spine. Never give up that car. Keep it in the family and taken care of. I hope that one day my kids will see this car and be as awestruck as I was when I first seen it.
From 15:55, the video really brings tears to my eyes. It really captures the magic and beauty behind the movies and this car. 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. Not only for how the last 10 minutes makes me emotional, but just for the well edited and well paced cinematography as well. Thanks.
I have watched this three times I am blown away cause I’ve gotten to see and sit in this car and seen their collection thanks so much for this video!!
This was one of the most beautiful shot and edited videos I've seen ❤😭
oh wow. thanks so much!
What a great story! I am crying man tears now.
best reaction I can get :) thanks!
Same here! Such a cool story!
(WARNING JUST A JOKE) BOY SHUT YO SENSITIVE ASS UP
Nevermind I just cried
Giorgetto Giugiaro must be proud. It makes me feel very fortunate to have the more commoner's version of this iconic if not successful design concept, the Isuzu Impulse, Piazza outside the US. Thank you for making this documentary.
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.
Chris dude! Excellent video! I actually had tears well up! That car could not be in better hands! Thank you for making this video and sharing with us!
Though, they do need a VW guy to go through that engine again ;)
hahaha true. thanks so much!!
I'd love to see a video of a replica of the BTTF3 Delorean driving through the desert. That'd be awesome.
Thats one way to destroy a previous car
I don't know why it took me 2 and a half years to find this, but I'm sure glad I did find it.
The stories, the passion, the excitement everyone has when they talk about the car, is awesome. You won't find another car or another movie that have the same lasting legacy.
This is so Cool. Thanks so very much for sharing ❤️
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.
almost made me cry.....best trilogy ever!
This little documentary video was so well done! I’ve seen all the movies countless times. My kids have seen them all. My grandson will see them someday. Your editing and post work was top notch. I’m almost 50, but at just after the 21:00 mark, with the piano music going behind the owner speaking, a tear rolled down my cheek. Thanks for your work. 👍🏼
Ben Brown thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much
Dude, seriously; that was amazing! Simply a beautiful presentation of a wonderful story, car, and owner. I'm really happy to see the car is in the hands of someone who cherishes it AND shares it with the world so we can all enjoy it. Thanks for doing this!
Can’t tell you the last time I got emotional watching a UA-cam video! The BTTF trilogy was a huge part of my childhood and I loved watching this! Thank you, Christopher, for making this and doing such a fantastic job! Subscribed!!
HEMSJim thank you!! I'm so glad if affected you so much.
Wow... well done on this editing and the interviews as well as the flashback images!
"I'd buy more but I like being married" ! - I love your Philosophy - A lot of men will understand were you are coming from !
Great collection fella !
A damn good video. Rare to see something with such high production value on UA-cam.
Now they need to build a train track set on their property with an electric "steam" train (smoke generator too) and put train wheels on the Delorean, that would be amazing to watch the Delorean be pushed around it! :D
Yes and they should make it into a real time machine to actually travel in time with it.
Or you can just get the actual locomotive
I wonder what happened to that particular car..?????
Sierra Railway #3 you mean.
@@mickjagr3538 Two different stories, one person says they actually hit the car with the train and another person says the real car used was not destroyed
Just ... wow! I'm quite surprised how much this edit moved me! 🙏🏻 _°thx°_
Never thought I'd get emotional over a mini Movie car doc! Thanks for creating it! it was awesome! and so is BTTF! :-)
This is easily one of the best videos I’ve ever watched on UA-cam. Can’t believe I haven’t come across your channel before. Great work Chris.
I really enjoyed that and thank you for sharing! My favourite “fantasy” car since I was a kid! And the fact that George Barris worked on restoration at one point ...wow!
When I first clicked on this video, I got what I expected, but stayed for how much more interesting it became. Awesome video.
Toxic Bubbles thank you so much!!
Damn you! It's been a while and now I've got to watch it again...
I am a huge fan of Back to the Future! I would be in heaven sitting in any Delorean that was part of the movies! Very cool video! Thank you!
I've seen this car at several ComicCons...didn't realize it was the #3. All they were asking was $5 (donated to the Fox Foundation) to shoot a foto with you in the car, yet many people were shooting it from a distance...without paying the $5 :(
Yes, but many were generous. Each of the last several years we've raised more than $10,000 for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
Had shivers at the end of the video. Amazing work and story telling.
UXXV same here it truly was something beautiful indeed
Thanks to those brothers for going to the rescue of this icon from my childhood, they did a great job on the restoration, it looks great. And thanks to the father and son that bought it back and is taking proper care for it. Universal can take that in their pipe and smoke it!
People dont realise how important movie cars are to a kids imagination eg mine. Im so proud that I can sit and watch Back to the Future trilogy with my 5 boys. Great job
watching this on November 5th 198... er um 2017 ;) It's great Bill and Patrick own this and many other great cars from film that they share. So many collections are horded away, away from the public eye...
Thanks, we really appreciate your kind words!
i've seen this video 14 times. I cry every time i watch it. :"(
chen sen han wow!!! You're helping my viewer retention numbers big time. I'm so glad you like it. Thank you!
Wow thank you guys for buying it and keeping it in he spotlight for fans.
I've worked with people born in late 90s early 2000s that think any movie that's more than 5 years old is stupid. It's sad how movies like this that are a great story that use real cars are getting overshadowed by CGI.
This was an awesome spotlight on a movie car that got the love it deserved by people who actually cared. Well done.
"He's down in the Bahn, working on the Cahs." I never tire of listening to a Boston accent haha.
Using pahts, that he sawr....
Love this vid - it's like the car has time travelled to "our" 2017! Great stuff.
This video is a well-executed homage to the movie, prop makers, the DosSantos and Castillos restoring work and the new owners on how they are keeping alive this movie culture icon. I was genuinely happy when I saw the thing actually moving, it really touches your heart somewhere when you know people are putting their time into keeping this frankenstein-vehicle alive.
Beautiful all around.
Interviews, editing, music all beautiful.
Awesome video. Very well done. Would love to see one of the General Lee.
Classic G-Body Garage general Lee is definitely on my list. Gotta make it a special episode
Classic G-Body Garage my dad has a 81 Malibu and 83 elcamino
Nice!
Hey Bill!
I believe (might be wrong), but I ran into John Schneider (Bo Duke) here in Fredricksburg Texas, and I was told he has the original, never wrecked one.
That engine sound 😂
Cracking video though!
Thanks Chris, and huge respect to the Shea family for sharing so much passion ! Doing things to bring smiles on others faces is so rare this days, so THANK YOU Mister Shea, forsharing your passion and being so much involved in awarness. Tank you !
That piano piece almost made me cry. Beautifully done.
Very well made mini-documentary. Never underestimate the value of Hollywood props. Nobody gave a frick (except me of course, Cuda Boy after all) about '57-'58 Plymouth "furys" until Christine or AMC Pacers until those snl nits.. and so on.. I worked in Century City when John Z displayed his cars in prototype between the twin towers - all shiny stainless steel with good looking models slinking around.... I saw the old fashion engine and stupid specs and continued to hit the Playboy Club for lunch before going back to my drone Law job.🤡
This was incredible to watch. I love this man..
This was a very well done documentary, on screen used DeLorean time machines. One of the better ones I've seen. Thank for making this!
Great Scott ! And great work done to keep this beauty going. Brilliant video.
Even more expensive than the gold plated DeLoreans! Sweet video
Beautifully shot and edited. Well told.
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.
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.
No wonder it never got to 88mph haha
One of the best UA-cam videos I have ever seen!
Great contribution, I am now 54 years old and have lived through all facets of the 80s .. I think it's great that you keep this car in such a good condition! At the end of this video, I almost cried ... I want to go back to the 80s ... thanks for this video
I don't know why but this made me cry. Back to the future is one of my favorite movies. Great content
