Of course, I also have an actual DeLorean...

Great Scott!!! I always wanted a Delorean of my own, as well as a 1982 Pontiac Firebird KITT conversion.. Alas, i am content with my Camaro SS and some models of these on display. Crash tests for the Delorean aren't pretty, but it sure looks great.

I would love to see one that is bigger than 1/15 scale . I know the filming miniature is about 24" long .

Oh. WELL, apparently, I had a brain fart, because I have the 1/18 scale.

Boy, I feel dumb.

I believe by trying the alcohol in the engine, it blew the fuel injection manifold. That would have been very hard to re-create. Also as for why the attempt to create gasoline wasn't attempted. It would be a job that not one man could accomplish on his own and he probably didn't have the refining of fuel knowledge he needed and so forth. But it is Doc, so maybe he did.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeLorean_time_machine
In Back to the Future, Doc stated that the time machine was electrical but that he needed a nuclear reaction (produced by plutonium borrowed/stolen from a group of Libyan terrorists) to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity needed. This is the only film where the plutonium is mentioned. At the end of Back to the Future and the same scene re-shot four years later in the beginning of Back to the Future Part II, we learn about the Mr. Fusion model fusion generator, made by Fusion Industries which uses garbage as fuel, it was installed in place of the nuclear reactor from the first film during Doc's first journey thirty years into the future, 2015, when he also had the hover conversion installed. The power source of the flying components was never revealed, but the gas engine appears to be running when the car flies. Also a different flying car can be seen getting some type of fuel pumped into it on the roof of a Texaco in 2015 in the second film. In Back to the Future Part III, the DeLorean's fuel line was damaged during the chase by Indians in 1885, and Doc and Marty's only supply of gasoline was lost. It is stated by Doc that "Mr. Fusion powers the time circuits and the flux capacitor, but the internal combustion engine runs on ordinary gasoline. It always has." (It is never mentioned whether Doc had any problem with the leaded gasoline of 1955; non-US-market DeLoreans ran on this fuel quite happily, so there is no reason to think that there need have been a problem). In a desperate attempt to get home, alcohol was used in place of gasoline after the fuel line was patched, destroying the seventy-three-year-old DeLorean's fuel injection manifold. The car never traveled under its own power again (at least across land), but was pulled by a team of horses and later pushed by an 1880s locomotive.

It says back to the future II, yet if it is, then it does not have the hover conversion and this seller is probably in the wrong purposly or by mistake. If he showed the box we would know..

If it does not have the pressurized lace system, then it is not worth it..lol.. Over twenty years later and you'd think they would have been able to come up with how to do it by now..

On the topic of ThinkGeek, they also have a replica Delorean equipped with time-travel accessories.

Also on the topic of ThinkGeek, my car is on there.

No, really.
