Hollywood memorabilia shop Profiles in History is auctioning Marty McFly's time machine from Back to the Future III. “This particular car 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,” according to the auctioneer's description. “Of the seven DeLoreans, only three have survived since filming, and this is one of those three.” Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
