The Back to the Future trilogy was a hit during the 80’s. But while everyone remembers the DeLorean (the time machine car driven by Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd), everyone failed to appreciate this beauty. In case you were one of those people (we’re guilty of being part of the group as well), then you might remember this car as the one driven by Biff, the bully that harassed Marty’s dad in the fifties.
The car in question is the 1946 Ford. While this full-sized ride was originally built with a hood, it was removed for the movie version to make it look like a classic convertible. To make up for the lack of shade, the roof was instead replaced with a tonneau cover that can easily snap to the car’s body. Aside from the roof, the wing and door windows of the 1946 Ford were also removed, after the film was done. But what makes this car a gem (aside from the fact that it was used in a hit movie), were the other add-ons that were given to it.
One of these add-ons is the car’s 1951 V-8 flat head drivetrain. This new engine allowed the 1946 Ford to garner 2,500 miles. It’s also equipped with a brand new exhaust system that includes a new header, glass-packs, and tail pipes. On top of the exhaust system, the 1946 Ford comes with a new ignition system and steering rack. All these new features were added over the course of the last two years.
Ok, since this is the Internet we’re talking about, anybody can just post a vintage car and claim it to be a car used in a movie. But what makes the 1946 Ford legit is the fact that it comes with documentation that says so. If you check the shot of the second document, you’ll notice that it was indicated there that the car was used in Back to the Future. The third image also solidifies this claim because it states that is was purchased by Universal Studios, the same company who released the movie.
Now if you want to add a classic car that’s made an appearance in the big screen, here’s your chance to actually own one. So start bidding!
