Bang! Pow! '60s-Style Batmobile Replicas for Sale
by Claudine Zap ? September 28, 2010
Holy tricked-out ride, Batman! The '60s-style Batmobile is now available -- for those with Bruce Wayne bank accounts -- in life-sized replica form.
DC Comics has officially licensed Fiberglass Freaks to re-create, down to the flame throwers (working, natch), the futuristic car that the Caped Crusader drove in the 1960s TV series.
For $150,000, you too could keep Gotham City safe. Or at least look really, really cool while sitting in traffic.
Each car frame is built around a 1970s Lincoln Town Car. And only eight of these hand-crafted beauties roll off the factory floor each year. Company founder Mark Racop has been perfecting the design pretty much his entire life, way before he got the official go-ahead. According to his website, the Batmobile-obsessive fell in love with the car from the show at the tender age of two.
Sports star takes inspiration from Batmobile >>
The cars are road-ready and come equipped with a GM 350 crate engine, Radir wheels with custom bat spinners, and a paint job only a superhero wanna-be could love. And need we mention the bat-wing shaped tail fins? This car gives new meaning to joy ride.
And because these wheels are pimped up, the 1966 Batmobile also comes equipped with some very 2010 additions: a DVD player with LCD screen in the dash (to play re-runs of the series, obviously) and a high-end stereo to blast the "Batman" theme song.
Cape not included.

On second thought maybe you should pass on the bat car as your big head would not fit in the bat mask but you may enjoy getting Jiggy with robin[;)]
select-fire stealing the Batmobile
GunBroker mods chasing after him!
here's the Batmobile next to the Monkee's GTO--I've seen the GTO at a car show--pretty badass car.
Any car that has forward firing rockets may not fight crime as well as the Batmobile, but it would certainly clear the roadways of bad drivers.
[:p]
While the Batmobile would draw a lot of oohs and ahhs, I would rather have the Green Hornets' car.
