Just hope that Marty and Doc aren't counting on that vehicle being in that barn.

There was a low-mileage Delorean on BaT a few days ago.

Think about it: Car was a novelty even before the movie, if you bought one in 1981 and you were 40, today you are 82. You likely are ready to move on from the Delorean or your heirs want to sell it because you died.

You will see more of these pop up like this.

When a car travels through time, the odometer doesn't move because the wheels are not spinning...a Physics Professor told me.

This DeLorean could have 200,000 light years on it. It looks kinda rough.

It is rough. It has been infested with mice inside and outside. In addition, the DeLorean frame is regular steel, not stainless steel, and prone to rust. Setting all that time in a humid Wisconsin barn may have taken its toll on the frame.

Delorean of Texas has so many parts that they can manufacture another 20,000 deloreans. They actually had Congress change laws that allowed them to make a certain amount of new original ones a year that would bypass all the modern safety regulations.
