Yeah, that doesn't look like a hero Batmobile to me. Based on the side mechanics and the ole' upside down turbine shroud I'd say its a replica that I've seen before. Blurry photos, mispelled words....come on at least TRY!
Whenever I keep reading "real deal" in auctions I start to :rolleyes

The poor grammar and lack of feedback gives me pause. The greeblies on the side look wrong. You would think that an auction starting at 357,000 dollars would cause someone to take some professional pictures.
I’m not buying it… literally and figuratively. Not that I could afford it, but if I could I still wouldn’t buy it.

They have a 'website'
Auto Body Repair Cadillac, MI - Wright's Customs 2314682911
Add : What I find odd is that the words 'Batman', 'Prop', 'car' etc are not used in the title.

Last I heard one of the TNMT creators owned it. It used to be in THE WORDS AND PICTURE MUSEUM in Northampton, MA before they closed it down.

It's like a 3 and a half hour drive for me. Maybe I should shoot up there and take tons of pics.

yeah, that's kevin eastman. i'm pretty sure his car was from RETURNS. from what i remember, he sold it at auction a few years ago.
The original hero car from the first movie is still at Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers unlike Disney or Universal really take care of thier vehicles. You can pay for a VIP tour and see the Batmobiles they have in their warehouse at the studio. I know they have the 89, maybe a Returns, a Forever, B&R and a Tumbler. The MTV car that was given away was a promo car made for the first movie, that car is now in a Museum in Roscoe IL, named Historical Attactions. There were a handful of Batmobiles created to promote the first film. Jay Ohrberg did the work on the vehicles for the second film and Jay made a good number of Batmobile replicas for museums and promotional work. Then other builders have gotten molds or made molds, so there are a good number of 89 Batmobiles out there.
As for this auction, the photos suck... who would ever spend that type of money with a listing like that?? I'll have to see what some of the batman websites are saying about it.
