Joe Maddalena and his company ‘Profiles in History’ are preparing to auction off a bunch of spectacular items from the Back to the Future movie series at their ‘Icons of Hollywood’ auction that will run from Dec. 15 – Dec. 17.

The biggest item going up for auction will be the DeLorean Time Machine driven by Michael J. Fox as “Marty McFly” in Back to the Future III. There were a total of 7 DeLoreans used on-screen in the Back to the Future trilogy and only three units survived.

This particular one was used in the 1955 drive-in movie scene when Michael J. Fox drives it into the past and lands in 1885 to find Doc. The model was built completely for off road use.

The car comes with a Universal Studios certificate of authenticity and an original signed Bill of Sale with the VIN number. The model is estimated to fetch $400,000 – $600,000.

The other DeLoreans are still owned by Universal Studios.
