Welcome to 88mphtimemachine.com! We hope you enjoy your visit and come away with a better understanding of the fascination still attached to this iconic automobile. How does a car that was manufactured for only 23 months, from January of 1981 until December of 1982, continue to hold the attention of millions of people around the world?

Was it the man behind the car or the car behind the man? Was it the turbulence associated with the production and sale of the car? Could it be all the misinformation and misconceptions about the demise of the car? Or might it be the eternal memories burned into our minds by the famous trilogy of films know affectionately to many as the BTTF movies ?

We had three goals in mind while designing, maintaining and updating this website. The first two are quite simple. We want you to have fun as you scan through the sections of the site. The second is smiles. There is too little smiling in this world today. So our goal is to help you smile. If you don’t smile as you surf this site, then we have not done something right. If you see ways we can help better attain this goal, please write us and let us know. We are certainly ready to listen as we take you “Back to the Future”.  

The third goal is to promote our DeLorean Time Machine. Our intention is to selectively offer the vehicle for appearances at events to raise funds for two charities which are very special to us. The first is the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and the second is selective veterans organizations in Massachusetts. If you would like to make a donation to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, please CLICK HERE!

So sit back, fasten your seatbelt and prepare to have fun & smile!

In order to consolidate our collector cars, I talked the bride into letting me build a barn. It was one of those projects that takes twice as long to build and costs twice as much as you budgeted for and then you multiply that times two. I’m sure if you have built an addition, garage or home, you know what I mean. It’s a very good size structure measuring 44’ x 30’ and I was very heavily involved in the day to day planning and overseeing of the project.

As avid enthusiasts of not just all things DeLorean and Back to the Future, but all things Hollywood as well, imagine our elation in July 2011, when we first heard about an upcoming auction.  “Icons of Hollywood” was the theme of an auction being announced by Joe Maddalena’s company called  “Profiles in History” of Calabasas Hills, CA. (www.profilesinhistory.com)

The announcement  promised lots of rare, screen used material. We thought that was cool and hoped to hear more. Well, a few months went by and the auction company started releasing tidbits on some of the “featured” items. These included Dorothy’s  ruby red slippers and the Cowardly Lion’s costume from the “Wizard of Oz”, plus Bela Lugosi’s cape from “Dracula”.

But, wait, there was more! We were literally blown away when rumor had it that the actual screen used DeLorean Time Machine from Back to the Future Part III might be coming up for sale!
