    This camper had two of these cheap Audiovox stereo cassettes; The one in the cab works, but will not turn on due to a yet-to-be-diagnosed electrical problem within the vehicle. As stated above, the one in the cab will likely be replaced with something that has Bluetooth, and I'd imagine that after nearly 40 years the speakers don't sound too good...

    Rooftop A/C for the living quarters was of course optional, and it could be very easily added to this vehicle, but it does not have A/C; The owner has no desire to add A/C because she rare visits areas where it gets particularly hot (though it was in 90s on the day of the show and quite toasty inside the camper)...

    The venerable 22R-E; With less than 61K miles on the clock, this engine has probably 500K more miles left in it, but in terms of performance it performs just like you'd expect a camper with a 116hp 4-banger under the hood to perform...

    :ballchain:

    The owner told me that she avoids highways if she can; She wishes the camper had a manual transmission, but the price was just too good to pass up. Needless to say, acceleration is leisurely to say the least, and at high altitudes the overdrive ceases to operate...

    The leisurely accelerate is what led to the owner naming her beloved camper "Mosey"; She had the spare tire cover custom made...

    About the only modern upgrade this camper has is a backup camera, which the owner had installed shortly after buying it...

    License plate comes back to a 1995, but I suspect that it might be older...

    I went to a car show in New Jersey today, not knowing what I might find; Turns out that it was definitely worth driving more than an hour to a place I'd never been to before!

    What we have here is a highly accurate 1985 Toyota XtraCab SR5 done up to look exactly like the daily driver of one Martin Seamus McFly! BTTF aside, as any diehard Toyota truck fan knows, 1985 is the cream of the crop for these trucks because it was the very last year for factory solid axles and the first year for fuel injection; So basically, you got a much more durable off-roader right off the showroom floor, with a less-finicky EFI system...

    :drool::drool::drool::drool:

    Also, this truck is LOADED; I know for a fact that Marty's on-screen truck had A/C and a cassette player, but I'm pretty sure it did not have power windows. This one not only has A/C, but it has power windows and locks, cruise control, and even intermittent wipers! This is obviously not Marty's on-screen truck, but the title of the thread comes from the fact that this exact truck has just a little over 193K miles on it, which is extremely low for a Toyota truck that is 38 years old as of this post! By comparison, my Tacoma is less than 13 years old and has also 152K miles!

    Of course, it wouldn't be Back to the Future without an accurate 1981 Delorean Time Machine, and the white Ford E250 is one of the less-ogled vehicles of the original movie, the official campaign vehicle of Hill Valley mayor Goldie Wilson!

    I knew power windows were an option, but not as early as 1985, and I've never seen a Toyota truck of this era with them in person! I honestly don't think that I've EVER seen a regular cab Toyota (even a Tacoma), with factory power windows, in person!
