I wasn't going to respond to this thread, but for some reason, people 
have a need to believe that somehow, Barris did build a car for the BTTF 
films, despite the filmmakers absolute statements to the contrary.

I've met George Barris.  He has been known to allow others to 'Presume' 
in order to prolong his early success into the autumn of his life.

The lucky winner of this 'special' DeLorean will also get disco rope 
lights wired up all over, and functional bicycle reflectors screwed onto 
the body, on either side of the genuine aluminum dryer hose. 
'Presumably' all added for the Part IV underwater scenes.:)

The Barris DeLoreans are far from representational of his skills as a 
customizer.  They are surprisingly amateurish, which creates a mystery 
for his fans, and a source of unkind jokes for BTTF fans.
To further the confusion, 'misrepresentation' from either Barris or 
reporters seems to run rampant in regards to these particular cars.

To reiterate: George Barris had NOTHING to do with the Back To The 
Future movies.
