Just FYI - the Barris car went for $40,250.

When I contacted the auction house, I informed them with the correct
information about Barris, and made them well aware that neither he, nor
his
company had anything to do with the "actual" movie cars.  I've seen his
replica up close a couple of times, and it is modified to look like the
Part
II version, with Mr. Fusion.  Since my phone call and I know Stephen
Clark
also emailed them with the proper information, a "Special Notice" has
gone
up on the auction listing website, stating that it could be a replica
car.

Either way, the fact that this auction is being marketed as a Part III
DeLorean, is what first got confused me.  Either Barris has transformed
his
DeLorean to a Part III version since, or he has somehow got hold of an
actual Universal car.  Problem is, Universal is not likely to sell off
these
cars, and it's also still listed in their props department warehouse.
But
there was more than one DeLorean ever used throughout the trilogy, so
one
can't be too sure.  The only way to truly ever know where all the
"actual"
movie cars ended up is if Universal ever released this information.  I
know
that at one time, the DOA had all the VIN numbers of the screen used
cars in
their database.
