Back in Time Page #6

I'm like, "you're gonna

skimp on the details,

"Why don't you use

a fiero or something?"

If I could tell myself when I was

a little kid watching that movie

That someday I'd be working on that car,

I'd be like, "you're crazy."

So you know, it's just awesome.

It's the fulfillment of a dream.

He let me do some work on the

88-Mile-An-Hour speedometer box.

And then after we did that,

He's like,

"you're gonna help me build the flux bands

"And put the flux capacitor

back together."

So I think that was

when I had known

That I must have proved myself to

Joe and some of the other members.

It was an honor to be able to put

back together the flux capacitor.

There were some times

when even Bob gale said,

"This is actually better than

the car when we first got it."

And that's just...

you're like, "holy crap! Okay."

The guys that helped us, too,

the universal staff,

They were always

really eager to help, too.

You could tell that

they were interested, too.

And these are guys that you would

think nothing really fazes them.

You know,

they got E.T.'s head sitting in the corner,

And it's like,

"oh, no big deal. E.T.'s head."

Even these guys that

work on props day by day,

You know, this was still

like a holy grail for them, too.

One of the coolest things I've done since the

restoration is just go hang out by the car,

Just listen

to people's reactions.

It's so great

seeing somebody with their kids,

Explaining what this is

that they're looking at.

The kids are like, "yeah, okay," but you know

that the dads are just, like, flipping out.

The car is one of the stars

of the movie,

And here you are, like,

12 inches from it, you know.

I mean, it would be like being 12

inches away from Michael J. Fox.

You know, it's a celebrity

in its own right.

We didn't half-Ass anything.

I mean, we worked really hard

to nail it,

To nail every single piece

on the car,

So that everybody could get to see it

the way that it was meant to look.

My name is bill Shea,

and I live in central Massachusetts,

And you might call me

a "back to the future" fanatic.

My father, bill, and I

Are the lucky owners of the

"back to the future iii" delorean

And the "back to the future ii

and iii" Toyota pickup.

The pinnacle moment for me

was when the ramps came down,

And that delorean

came out of that truck.

And you saw her

for the first time

With the smoke, and all the noise,

and everything like that.

And he rolled it off, and they had the sound

effects of the exhaust and everything.

All of my life,

I've been involved in collectibles,

Whether they be comic books,

or coins, or military antiques.

That's been absolutely

part of my life,

And a very enjoyable

part of my life,

And something

that I make a living at,

And had the opportunity

to employ my family.

You know, Marty,

you look so familiar to me.

Do I know your mother?

My mother works

full-Time for my father, as do I.

And most recently, my daughter has come

on board, and she now works full-Time.

So the daughter, the grandkids, the son-In-Law,

the mother, the father, the whole family...

it's a wonderful experience.

I'm very, very fortunate.

My son, Patrick, who is very much

involved in everything I do,

Including the cars,

And without whom, I wouldn't do this,

because he's a real mechanic.

I'm Irish.

He has more patience than I.

I think he's inherited his

mother's patience and the like.

Ready.

That's running perfect now,

bill.

This is the home of the rebirth of the

beautiful truck you see behind me,

Marty's 1985 Toyota xtra cab

sr54x4.

Check out that 4x4.

That is hot.

The truck that

was used in part one

Was a contest.

They gave it way.

The story goes it was destroyed.

I don't know for sure,

so I can't really say.

But they needed a truck

to do part two and part three

That was exactly like

the truck from part one.

So they contacted

this movie rental company.

After that, it went back to its normal

life as a movie studio rental vehicle.

It's like a celebrity being

in the garage all the time.

Extra care is taken

every step of the way.

It's really special to be part

of something this unique.

You know,

it's once-In-A-Lifetime.

The part three car happens to be

The one and only

screen-Used delorean

That will ever be

in private hands.

According to most

in the consensus,

There were seven deloreans that

were used in the three movies,

And three of them still exist.

One is in universal studios

in Hollywood.

The other is in

universal studios in Florida.

And of course, one is sitting

right behind us here.

When all was said and done,

and the hammer was knocked down,

Including the commission charges,

it was around $528,000.

And of course, we had bought a few

other things at that auction already.

We had purchased some actual

props from the movie.

So I was warmed up,

let's put it that way.

And I work hard, I stay straight,

and I felt that...

guess what,

I really feel I made a good investment.

Shoot.

My father mentioned that

For him to take all of his toys with him,

that's what he'd enjoy.

But I don't think he wants that. I think he

wants everybody in the family to enjoy it.

Between me, my daughter,

my son, my grandkids, my family,

I have found that "back to the future"

is unquestionably a family affair.

When you see people

come up to the car,

They're with their wife, they're with their

children, and everybody gets involved,

And their kids are just as excited

about it as the parents are.

So once again, it transcends the

generations, and that'll never change.

Thank you so much.

There are car shows

around the country,

And the delorean car show

is one of them,

And it has a lot

of enthusiastic members.

I love the delorean community.

It was incredible how everyone was so friendly,

and so into it, and all the things they do.

I just love that we could be a

part of something like that.

With something that's so close

to us that brought us together.

It's incredible.

The wonderful thing

about this show

Is that so many things

amazing have happened.

But today, you get to have something

that's going to be even more amazing.

There's a young man here

that I'm looking for.

His name is nick. Nick?

Oh, nick!

Nick would like to take a moment

with all of you here.

Everybody is incredibly friendly,

and incredibly helpful,

And very motivational.

They don't try

to bring you down, you know.

You're gonna bring a beat-Down car to a

car show, you're gonna get ripped apart.

Quite the opposite.

We got there, and they praised us.

They were happy to see a car

in the shape it was,

'Cause, you know,

everybody has a complete car.

Here we are with just a body tub on

some wheels and some wires hanging out.

It's nice to examine

what's underneath the skin.

This is our first DCS,

me and Meghan.

Meghan, please come on up.

Come on. Don't be shy.

She's very shy.

So come on, Meghan. Come on.
