If you saw the second and third “Back to the Future” movies, you likely remember the celebrated DeLorean car that was used in the pictures. But there were other vehicles in the films too. Michael J. Fox’s character, Marty McFly, drove a 1985 Toyota Xtra Cab 4X4 truck in those movies, and it’s that truck that will be undergoing a restoration soon.
According to the Time Machine Restoration Company, the Toyota was stolen many years ago, and was recently recovered by the Mexican federal police. The car was auctioned off, and the company, already restoring the movie’s iconic DeLorean, got the truck too.
It’s not clear what the vehicle was doing in Mexico, or why the Mexico federal police were involved, but there’s no question that it’s the actual car. There was a note written on the passenger-side sun visor that read, “Keith, Many thanks. See you on something else I’m sure—Michael J. Fox.”
