These are photos of VIN 02831, converted by George Barris into a 'Back to
the Future' car. I've spoken to the original owner of the car from the Pacific
Northwest (who wishes to remain anonymous) and for a time it belonged to one
of our NCDMC members. He sold it on eBay to someone and from there it ended
up in the hands of a company in S. Cal. At that point it was 'converted'.
The photos show it on display at the Grand National Roadster Show in San Mateo,
2003. The first and last photos are of display photos placed with the car. The first one is of Barris posing with the VW modified car (or what's left of it). This 'car' is sitting on the backlot of Universal Hollywood. The last photo is an old picture of Steven Spielberg with the #1 BTTF car. That's the car you first see at 'Twin-Pines Mall' in the movie. Universal still owns that car and it is serviced by the DeLorean Motor Center. Bob Gale went on record at the Pigeon
Forge DeLorean Car Show stating "George Barris had nothing to do
with the making of the Back to the Future DeLoreans". The car was recently
sold (5/2005) at auction for $40,250.
