Update on the guy with the (claimed) screen used DeLorean. I contacted him on Facebook and he's been giving me bits and piece of info as to the history of his car. He said he bought it from a guy who claimed to have purchased it from Universal Studios. I'm still hoping to get a VIN to see if we can verify at least part of the story. It would be interesting to know if the car itself was owned by universal at some point, as there have been other cars come and go through there. He said the time circuits have a "6" on the back, which apparently means they came from "Car 6" used in the BTTF trilogy. As i've already shown above with that You tube video comparsion they are almost 100% certainly Bruce Coulombe replica time circuits.
He also said the guy that sold him the DeLorean also used to own the Universal Studios replica/promo (non screen used) ECTO-1 that sold at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale, AZ in 2010. The way he worded his response about the ECTO wasn't particularly clear but he kinda made it sound like he thought that car was the real deal and not just a promo car.

I bet the guy that sold him the DeLorean was George Barris.

Last year there was a "Barris" conversion in Chicago that Harry Caray's was going to give away if the Cubs won. It was even signed by Barris on the hood I believe. I have pictures, I'll have to find them and post them. The conversion wasn't all that great but unless you're a big bttf fan, most people didn't even realize the mistakes or how poor the conversion was. No idea who's this is but it wasn't given away.

I looked at this guys page,
https://www.facebook.com/rudolf.michelle?fref=ts
and also his "props", none of them are "screen used" and none of them are mine either.
His Time Circuits are some of Scot Dorelaques old run that Danny Botkin continued to sell for a while.
Not sure about his Plutonium Gauges, Drive Switch or other stuff, they are all wrong, again, none are mine.
Everything this guy has and displays are wrong.
Either he is simply a tremendous liar and douchebag or he is incredibly stupid and was sold a bullshit story and paid a lot of money for the stuff.
I think it's a bit of both.

The next time he has one of his appearances I will show up. According to FB he is over in Lincoln Park. That's about 40 miles, not to long of a stretch but not generally my neck of the woods lol.
More to follow.
