Batmobile 1966, the famous car from the 1960’s Batman television series was replicated and sold at $150,000 at an auction last month.
DC Comics announced the licensing deal with Mark Racop of Fiberglass Freaks in early September. Fiberglass Freaks were commissioned to build a life size, functioning replica of the Batmobile 1966 from the TV series. The fully road legal version of the original Batmobile was put up for sale at the cost of $150,000.
According to reports the car “features rocket exhaust flamethrower works, GM 350 crate engine, center console aluminum trim, Radir wheels with accurately shaped bat spinners, and a quality paint job.
The Batmobile 1966 has five highly polished aluminum roll top dashboard doors that glide open and a detect-a-scope radar screen glows green. The interior was molded from vintage equipment comprising chrome-painted seat buckets, knobs, buttons and T handles. The car comes equipped with a DVD player that plays on the LCD screen mounted in the dash along with a high-end stereo system that plays back the original Batman theme.
The original Batmobile used in the 1966–1968 live action television show was a customized vehicle that originated as a one-off Ford concept car in the 1950s.
The TV Batmobile was based on the Lincoln Futura Show Car, originally created by William M. Schmidt. The car is said to be inspired by the shape of the mako shark and the manta ray.
The popularity of the 1966 Batmobile has grown over the years from replicas to kid’s toys. Licensed scaled replicas of the Batmobile 1966 can be purchased at http://www.Batmobile1966.com. The site is the definitive online resource for the special Batmobile collectibles.
