MY guess (and this is only a guess) is that Barris did some of the promotional BTTF cars after the movies were filmed and released. These are cars that were never actually in the movies but were instead used for promotional activities or as props for places like Planet Hollywood. According to the "Director's cut" video Barris did not do the BTTF cars from any of the movies. I would ask the auction house to provide some documentation (ANY DOCUMENTATION!) That would authenticate the provenance of the car. Without such documentation the car can only be represented as a replica of a BTTF movie car. Much like Bob Brandies's car (sorry for the misspelling Bob).
