Duffman Posted January 20, 2013 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2013 $4.2 million, looked really cool close up, as if the rocket launcher and other devices would really work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff G 78 Posted January 20, 2013 Share #4 Posted January 20, 2013 The Batmobile auction was pretty cool, but I could have don without watching George Barris' dentures fall out numerous times while he was hyping the car on stage. :ogre: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedyone_kenobi Posted January 20, 2013 Share #5 Posted January 20, 2013 I get what Barris has done for the community, but the dollar figure is just crazy. Still if somebody paid it, then it was worth that to that person. But good luck every making a profit. The older that car gets, the less and less of that generation will care. The car is not that exceptional from an engineering point of view, and as nostalgia will only go so far. It will end up in a museum one day, probably donated for a tax break.

Duffman Posted January 20, 2013 Share #7 Posted January 20, 2013 Guess they made 6 of them, this one is the original number 1. Yes, it can be driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbuczesk Posted January 20, 2013 Share #8 Posted January 20, 2013 I thought that there were only 5 made? The buyer paid $4.6M if you add in the 10% commission. :-oChuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
