I would stick my neck out and say the Orlando Universal car is NOT a film car...
I will see if I can dig out some photos I have of it... :wink:

Alex, the car at Car Of The Stars is a replica. It doesn't even have an engine. Dave Howarth had the engine from it and that is now in another DeLorean.
The website clearly states :- "Cars of the Stars own a publicity vehicle used to promote the third film"
Also, you can easily see that the rear side window glass is still in place and the quality of materials used around the engine area are nothing like those from the movie. The rear ducts don't even have the vertical separation plates mounted.

I have a piece of home video i took somewhere of 3 or 4 of the cars including the Delorean parked up round the back of a sound stage on the back lot of Universal LA i wonder if they are original film cars.

i did contact them way before i went into helping chris p out with the events before having herman put it this was its a non runner needs loads of work and it got a nice price tag more than my house if it the right one that you are on about i contacted them about the one next to the studio,s with the sad bumper

The one in the cars the star museum is NOT the car from any of the films. It's a really poor remake. From memory the exterior has been hacked/bodged to fit the gear on and the interior only mildy resembles what it should look like.It did have the 50's wheels on it when i saw it but no bonnet piece.
I think its a shame to ruin a delorean just to make a few quid :evil: I don't like saying this but it's the worse car in there
.Glen has something to be proud of. Rant over

The BTTF car at the 'cars of the stars' was used in some publicity for BTTF 3 but of course nothing to do with the films, not even sure if it was Universal that used it.
It was put together by Andy Hobb of Top Gun, he was a DeLorean parts guy in the 80's and early 90's. He had a rolling chassis with engine, an underbody ect, and made a car from the bits. He took off the bits the car would not need, like engine, and as Chris H mentioned sold those bits off to Dave H, amongst others. Infact the injectors and a few other bits are in my old car
Oh and the block is in a certain well known D that I'm sure most, if not all, of you out there have a poster of

Yes spot on Chris
... I can also confirm that it was Andy Hobbs who built the 'engine less' BTTF car for the Cars of the Stars museum 'directly'. Been emailing him and invited him along on here... he has a few interesting stories to tell especially re wooler hodec cars 
Andy also states that he bought 'WIA 8096' directly from John Taylor in 1991/2, then sold it on. ( As you know this is owned by Dave Howarth )

just going back on what someone was saying about film companys props and there cars
there dead right
they do leave them out to rot Unfortunatly
if any one has seen ghostbusters
there two ecto 1 and ecto 1a cars were left out to rot i saw some footage on u tube about these a while back
ive also seen a knight rider car from universal that was also left out
but still thie thing is they can afford to that
it is a massive shame to waste these type of things
as for the cars of the stars ive been to that place in kendal
its crap
all there cars there are rubbish
