Every good super hero needs a vehicle (unless you’re Superman, that is). Wonder Woman had her Invisible Jet, Captain America had his motorcycle, and the X-Men had their Blackbird X-Jet. Yet one vehicle stands out in our minds heads and tails above the rest: Batman’s Batmobile.
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a Batmobile, now is your chance. Fiberglass Freaks has built a fully-licensed 1966 Batmobile and is offering them up for sale.
The Batmobile has gone through at least a dozen different iterations, from Christian Bale’s tank-like armored Batmobile to the sleeker Batmobile of Val Kilmer’s era. Yet nothing approaches the timelessness of the one and only original Batmobile from Adam West’s stint as the Dark Knight. With its dual bubbletop canopy, aggressive lines, multitude of gadgets, it set the standard for super hero transportation.
This replica Batmobile, based on a 1970 Lincoln Continental, costs $150,000 (Continental included). It has been updated for the 21st century to include DVD/CD player with remote control, a working Batphone, a working rocket exhaust “flamethrower,” a Detect-A-Scope, and a show-quality paint job. This is just a handful of the many features on this replica Batmobile, and it doesn’t just have to sit in your garage. Powering this bad boy is a GM350 crate engine backed by a TH350 transmission, so you’ll have plenty of horsepower to track down any neighborhood super villains.
It just doesn’t get any better than this, Batfans.
