For Sale – Back to the Future II Hoverboard

Back to the Future II, or BTTF II for those in the know, was one of the great films of my childhood. The hovering cars had me mesmerized. One of the best parts of the film was the hoverboard chase which resembled the skateboard chase in the first film set back in 1955. As Marty was chased by Griff and the gang he flew around corners on this bright pink board.

Well, for those fans this same board is now up for grabs on eBay. It will set you back at least $30000 and it wont allow you to actually go anywhere, let alone hover. But, if you want this piece of BTTF history then jump on over to eBay and check it out.

Of the two styles of props used in the film – styrofoam and wood – the styrofoam examples in collections today have not held up as well, given the more fragile nature of the material and the abuse they endured in production. Few wood examples have survived, and the collector who obtained this specimen from the prop master chose this for his personal collection as the premiere example of those preserved following the film. It is in used but outstanding condition, and is very rare in that it is entirely complete and intact. Given the wood build and use of metal components, it looks and feels like a “real” prop. This piece has the complete fully functional and rear ballbearing-mounted footpad that rotates 360 degrees, as well as the bottom “magnet plates”. Of the two styles of stickers used for the effects, this prop has the “photoboard”-style sticker affixed. In addition, there is other textured styling and hand painting. This Hoverboard also features the hole in the top, representing where the handlebars were that “Marty” pulled off after borrowing the “toy” from the little girl in the film. $30000 – $50000
