Here's Your Chance to Own the Real Batmobile

OH MY GOD! I really want that, I just wish I had the money!

 

[Twinsen]

Looking back upon similar sales i'm suprised how often "screen used" Burton batmobiles pop up!

 

[Too_Many_Cars]

A replica can easily cost half the starting bid for a good solid example done right so that's not actually that outlandish for the real deal. Of course, with a replica you can add mirrors and lights and an air ride suspension to make it driveable and street legal without cutting into a 'priceless piece of movie history' and wrecking your investment.

"Screen used" or not, I'd love to have one of those. Beautiful car.

 

[PepiloJones]

Great car! Best is I buy a scale model.

 

[CustomPropSculptorGuy]

Oh I am sooooo going to go see it in person...

Did you know that his batmobile is based directly off a vintage plastic cereal toy?

No joke.

It was from the "Speedy Wheels" series in Rice Honeys. I had one a few years back and thought it was a Batman tie-in somehow until I found out how old it really was.

Evidently the designer had one as a kid? LOL!

Away now to buy a lottery ticket...

I just scoured the net trying to find a picture of the toy. Can't find one. Can anyone help? I'd love to see it!

I thought it had a matte finish in the film.

 

[Tony]

I wonder what that would look like with red 1966 pinstriping?

 

[BTTFSpencer]

I don't believe that Batmobile is an authentic screen used vehicle. The finish is gloss, the gauges are wrong...it has Six Flags written all over it.

 

[d_osborn]

if i'm remembering correctly, the RETURNS car had a gloss finish.

 

[Westies14]

Returns used one with the original finish as well, I think - but they definitely painted a second car with a glossy finish. That certainly doesn't prove anything about the provenance of this car - I believe there were only a couple of full-sized hero cars for the first two films, and there are plenty of replicas out there.

As for the Six Flags cars, they were undersized one-seaters that had a driver sitting up in the hood. Bob Dullam might know a bit more about those cars - I believe he was a consultant when they were starting up the stunt show.

 

[Treadwell]

I seem to remember a car was specially made for a promotion prize.

 

[BTTFSpencer]

Actually the Returns car's had a Semi-Gloss paint finish.

I just picked up one of the cereal toys at a flea market. Here's pics.

Got to drive it back in 2002, was a bit dissapointing, was as powerful as a go cart.
