A replica of Marty McFly’s legendary Back to the Future Toyota ute has sold at auction for US$110,000 (roughly $152,635 nzd).
The ute was built on a 1985 Toyota Xtra Cab Hilux, and features multiple screen-accurate components from the movie.
To name a few, there are blacked-out wheels, custom bar-work, Toyota windscreen banner, and of course, KC spotlights. Details go as accurate as the Californian number plate: ‘2BAK860’, which is the same that appears in Parts II and III of the movie. And just like in the movies, it’s a fuel-injected, five speed example, which appears to be in excellent condition.
Included in the sale was a selection of film memorabilia, such as a signed image of the original SR5, replica self-lacing Nikes, and a 1/10 scale RC model.
The ute features in all three films, first as an object of Marty's desire, and then as his daily drive-around when he returns to a changed future.
