‘Time capsule’ 1981 DeLorean found in Wisconsin barn with original tires and only 977 miles

It was almost like stepping back in time.

A 1981 DeLorean — the gullwing-doored car that took its star turn as a time machine in “Back to the Future” — was found in a Wisconsin barn, complete with its original tires and with just 977 miles on the odometer.

Mike McElhattan, a business owner who specializes in repairing DeLoreans, didn’t think much of the call he got from New Mexico about the car until he learned it had less than 1,000 miles on it.

The original owner, identified only as “Dick,” had stored the classic car in a barn.

The body was covered in dust and rodent droppings, but the car was in otherwise good condition, right down to the original tires and blue oil filter.
