What happened to the Screen Used Delorean at Universal Studios Orlando?

The Oxnard Car (Universal Studios Orlando)

This was a stunt train car used in the movie which crossed the train tracks in the end and has been on display since the early 1990’s at Universal Orlando. No, not the car that was destroyed, you can read about that car HERE. This car was also used in the filming of the ride. This was the car that Tom Wilson sat in for the ride footage, and this was the car that was crashed at the end into the Institute of Future Technology.

March 2020- Universal moved the screen used Oxnard car into storage and has now replaced the car with a Time Machine Replica. There are currently talks happening behind the scenes with Bob Gale, Amblin, Universal and several others which will hopefully lead to the car getting a full restoration in the future! Universal Orlando Resorts may or may not restore it back to the Oxnard movie car. They have to get some legal paperwork taken care of first. They don't have a title, they don't know who legally owns it, they need to find a theme park department to assign the budget to in 2021 and most of all, they need to decide if it is worth the cost to completely  restore it, frame off. Will update when we hear more!

UPDATE 10/14/20 The car is still in storage, and likely won’t be restored or sold. Since it’s an asset, the ownership is in question right now as NBCU continues to litigate with Amblin. Obviously they can’t sell it, but sadly there is no budget right now to restore either. Currently no one is authorized to touch the car so it looks like it will be in storage indefinitely. Keep checking back for updates as we will keep you posted!
