Batmobile Re-creation Sold at Barrett Jackson Auction
Holy auction insanity Batman! A re-creation of the original 1960's Batman Batmobile was auctioned off tonight during the Barrett Jackson classic car auction. The car sold for $185,000. The amazing thing is that this is a re-creation and it was made from a 1974 Lincoln, which if you do the math, couldn't have been used in the 1960's Batman series. However, it was a very nice looking custom car. This experience has only increased my craving for the hopefully soon to be released 1/18 scale Batmobiles. The latest news from Hot Wheels is that these cars will be available during Q1 of 2008. Let's just hope that there will be no more delays to the production of these cars. These cars will be available once they have been released from Movie Car Mania.
