Re: [DML] BTF car(s).

["Videobob Moseley" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Remember, there were many cars used in all three movies.
I am not sure how many they used but I remember Bob Gale saying they used I 
think
3 of them in the first movie.
One whole car, one that was just the first half of the car for over the 
shoulder shots,
and another stunt car I think.
I think there were about 6 cars used all together in all 3 movies.

I know where a few of them are.
You can look on many BTTF websites fot this information.
We have discussed it on

http://www.bttfstuff.com
and
http://www.bttfparts.com

You might want to ask Dan Botkin at DeLorean Motor Center in California,
he was commisioned to build and restore one of the cars for Universal back
when the DVD's came out.
