Only about 9,000 DeLoreans were built before the factory closed due to bankruptcy.
In a phone call with CNN, McElhattan said the parts are what really captivated him about the find. Nothing has been changed about the car, he said, even down to the original tires.
“It’s literally like a time machine in that way, traveling back to 1981 when it was manufactured,” McElhattan said. The team thinks the car had been parked for about 20 years, and that it had started sinking into the ground when McElhattan and Thomas visited it. There were mice droppings everywhere, too, signs of an infestation.
The two purchased the DeLorean from the owner, and they plan to restore the car and get it back on the road.
