OK, so the 1:1 scale reference was a bit of a joke, because this isn’t a model or toy – it’s an actual DeLorean that’s been painstakingly modified to replicate the time machine from Back to the Future, and it’s available on eBay. If only I had a hundred grand and change sitting around.
Ah well, there’s always the 1:18 scale version. 😀
Actual Great Moments in De-Evolution: DeLorean Time Machine
How awesome is this?? An almost exact replica of Doc Brown’s DeLorean from Back to the Future is available to purchase over eBay. It’s not the actual model used in the totally awesome trilogy, but according to the seller, it’s even better!
This car is what you want, a car that looks exactly like what you saw in the film, with all the cool lights, sounds and buttons you thought the car in the film had (but never really did). People are often really disappointed when they see a prop up close. Movie props are designed to be filmed from a distance, but this car truly looks and feels “real” even up close.
Holy crap!! This is mindblowing! There’s a bunch of cool stuff about the car that I’d tell you about, but my eyes started to glaze over when I saw all the text.
The seller is hoping someone wants to buy this replica for almost $130,000. Here’s where the De-evolution part comes in: some people are dumb enough to spend that much money on a time machine car that doesn’t even work.
….Or does it? BRB.
