Fate Of The Back To The Future Delorean Rests On The Chicago Cubs

B_MBwYmW4AIaHyUVolo Auto Museum in Illinois has decided to play a cruel joke on DMC and Back to the Future fans. The museum, which owns the original 1981 DMC Delorean used in the film, has announced that if the Chicago Cubs win the 2015 World Series, as was predicted in Back to the Future II, they will award the car to one lucky winner. The famous Delorean is estimated to be worth $85,000.

HT_delorean_inside_jef_150303_4x3_992“The car is fully functional. It’s a running and driving car,” museum director Brian Grams told ABC News. “Though we don’t guarantee time travel with the car, its flux capacitor and other board lights light up just like the movie’s car.” The car has been on display at the museum since the late 1990s.

Of course, the biggest hurdle here is the team. The joke behind choosing the Cubs as the winners of the 2015 World Series in the film was how unlikely it would be for that to happen. For those unfamiliar with the team’s track record, they haven’t won the series in well over a century, having last secured the title from the Detroit Tigers in 1908. In the subsequent 107 years, the Cubs have appeared in (and lost) seven more World Series match-ups, the last of which was in 1945.

To enter the raffle you can either visit the museum (which boasts more than 400 eccentric cars) and register using your wristband ticket’s number, or you can just send it a self-addressed, stamped envelope, and the museum will then mail you back an eligible registration number.

HT_delorean_jef_150303_16x9_992In the likely event that the Cubs don’t win the series, the museum is offering a pretty sweet consolation prize. “We keep the car, but the giveaway winner will win the museum’s hover board prop,” says Grams. So who’s going to be rooting for the Cubs this baseball season?
