It goes without saying that the Back to the Future saga is not only one of the most emblematic in cinema, but that it was and continues to be an inescapable reference in popular culture in the 80s. And speaking of emblems, when talking about Back to the Future You can’t help but remember the DeLorean DMC-12 that acted as a time machine, but there were other important vehicles in the movies as well.
One of these vehicles was the 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 that made Marty McFly sigh. While it didn’t get as much screen time as the DeLorean, this Hilux was important enough that today, several years later, it’s still an object of desire.
That is why the Mecum auction house will offer a replica of this unit, with a great level of detail and practically uncirculated, so that it changes hands and can be bought by someone who is a fan of the movie and the model. Bids during Mecum’s Indy event are expected to be in the $75,000 to $85,000 rangewhich is quite a lot for a Hilux and a replica but a reasonable price considering that it is signed by members of the cast.
Yes, this pick-up has the signatures of several actors in the cast, the most outstanding being Michael J. Fox, who played Marty McFly, as well as Christopher Lloyd, who took over the role of Dr. Emmett Brown.
This Toyota Hilux sports the emblematic black paint accompanied by tonal wheels with a silver rim, grave donkeys and front tubular fender and a double Roll Bar in the punt, with four KC headlights of the time. Additionally, it features a license plate reading “OUTATIME” as well as a license plate frame branded by the fictional Statler Toyota dealer. Added to all this, Also included is a replica of the famous hoverboard from 1989’s Back to The Future II.
The pick-up has only 16 km on its odometer, so its 105 HP 2.4L engine is practically new. The force of this driver reaches all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4X4 traction system, although we have serious doubts that it will be used to get to use them. Most likely whoever buys this unit keeps it safe in a thematic collectionperhaps along with one of the few remaining restored DeLoreans in the world.
