Expedition: Back To The Future • S01E02 • 2021

[Josh] This is all pretty
surreal, don't you think? As is the back story
on this truck. After completing its run
in Back to the Future, it was stolen twice and ended up
being recovered in Mexico after a brief career
of hauling drugs across the border. True story. It eventually made its way into the hands of Bill
and Patrick who gave it a full frame-off restoration
to get it back to its original
screen-used condition. It wasn't enough for them
that they'd found the vehicle that, once upon a time,
was Marty's Toyota. No. They needed it
to be that truck again. Finding the right parts
for a truck built in the '80s was tough, not time machine tough,
but still. It took them 11 months
to complete the restoration. But would you expect
anything less from these two? Talk about obsessed. And, yes, I'm here
to find a time machine, but right now I have time-warped straight back into my childhood. Can I just stay here
for a few more minutes? Is that possible? We have more to show you.

[Josh] This is all pretty surreal, don't you think?

00:00:03.102 --> 00:00:05.337

As is the back story on this truck.

00:00:05.371 --> 00:00:07.472

After completing its run in Back to the Future,

00:00:07.507 --> 00:00:09.107

it was stolen twice

00:00:09.142 --> 00:00:11.409

and ended up being recovered in Mexico

00:00:11.444 --> 00:00:13.445

after a brief career of hauling drugs

00:00:13.479 --> 00:00:14.746

across the border.

00:00:14.781 --> 00:00:16.248

True story.

00:00:16.282 --> 00:00:17.783

It eventually made its way

00:00:17.817 --> 00:00:19.985

into the hands of Bill and Patrick who gave it

00:00:20.998 --> 00:00:23.012

a full frame-off restoration to get it back

00:00:23.156 --> 00:00:25.099

to its original screen-used condition.

00:00:26.001 --> 00:00:28.593

It wasn't enough for them that they'd found the vehicle

00:00:28.628 --> 00:00:30.996

that, once upon a time, was Marty's Toyota.

00:00:31.001 --> 00:00:34.432

No. They needed it to be that truck again.

00:00:34.467 --> 00:00:35.801

Finding the right parts for a truck

00:00:35.835 --> 00:00:37.569

built in the '80s was tough,

00:00:37.603 --> 00:00:39.938

not time machine tough, but still.

00:00:40.002 --> 00:00:42.774

It took them 11 months to complete the restoration.

00:00:42.842 --> 00:00:45.877

But would you expect anything less from these two?

00:00:45.912 --> 00:00:47.679

Talk about obsessed.

00:00:47.713 --> 00:00:49.514

And, yes, I'm here to find a time machine,

00:00:49.549 --> 00:00:51.817

but right now I have time-warped

00:00:51.851 --> 00:00:54.998

straight back into my childhood.

00:00:54.997 --> 00:00:55.554

Can I just stay here for a few more minutes?

00:00:55.588 --> 00:00:56.888

Is that possible?

00:00:56.923 --> 00:00:59.002
