One of the seven DeLorean DMC-12 time machines used—and only one of three still intact examples—in the Back to the Future movie trilogy will be going up for auction in December following its public viewing at Comic Con 2011 in July. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which is working to provide a cure for Parkinson's disease as well as improving conditions for those living with the degenerative disorder.

This particular car was used in the filming of the third installment of the Back to the Future series and had its suspension and parts of its chassis replaced and was fitted with a Volkswagen V-6 and full roll cage. After years of abuse, a private individual purchased the car and had it restored. The car will be sold at a Profiles in History auction on an unspecified date in December.
