[DML] Re: Barris DeLorean Auction

["BTTF.com" <stephen@xxxxxxxx>]

Bob Gale went on record at PF stating "George Barris had nothing to do 
with the making of the Back to the Future DeLoreans", to which the 
crowd erupted in applause.

Regardless, the very auction itself is suspicious because the photo 
they're using for the auction is of a BTTF1 car, and a studio photo 
taken in 1985 at that:

If he truly has one of the screenused cars from BTTF3, it's in such 
pathetic shape that it's no wonder they're not willing to photograph it 
in its current state.  But if it's the car he's been hawking all week 
on "Good Morning America", etc., it's the same car he independently 
built years after the films were made with the unauthentic "dryer vent" 
tubes sticking out all over the back of it.
