Woman bids $3,200 for storage container that’s not been opened for 20 years and inside is a covered mystery car worth ten times more

One woman has found a bargain as a real DeLorean Back to the Future time capsule has been hidden in a container for 20 years.

The DeLorean sports car is quite a rarity nowadays, with most of these cars tucked away in collections or having failed the test of time.

But having been popularised by Marty McFly in Hollywood, the two-door coupe still has a lot of appeal.

That’s why one woman was thrilled as she paid a tiny fee for this hidden 80s supercar.

Storage Hunters woman finds DeLorean in $3,000 bargain

Storage Hunters is a blast from the past, but over the years the television program has posted up some rather iconic moments as the mystery goods behind the doors aren’t always what they originally look to be.

From cars without motors intended to rip people off, hidden motorbikes underneath cloths at the back making thousands of profit to Lamborghini’s that aren’t actually Lambos at all.

That’s the life of a shipping container auction.

But this time, Marty McFly had been around town and left his keys in the ignition.

The storage container had rag sheets covering a car, which most assumed would be an American muscle body given the body shape, which left the UK skeptics more glass half empty having been stung before by old damaged imports.

However, one bidder took quite a fancy to this container and bid £2,600 ($3,200) on the mystery car.

As the suspension built up to see what horror could be hidden beneath the sheets, the woman was left in hysterical happiness as she unveiled a DeLorean that had been hidden away for 20 years.

Back to the Future time capsule works a treat

Notorious with time travel, the DeLorean appeared to have done some decade-jumping of its own as the car appeared to be in great condition.

Apart from having a battery that needed a rude awakening, the DeLorean car jetted off into the sunset with a very giddy woman behind the wheel.

According to the show, the wheeler-and-dealer got ten times their investment when selling the car on, netting £26,000 ($32,000).

This is one of the more impressive storage container coups that we’ve seen, but it doesn’t quite beat the Dodge Challenger and vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycle finds over in the US.
