Gizmag article says that the car sold for a mere $12K after the filming, & now is expected to bring $5M!

I would like to see a competition, no a fight between this, the 60s Batmobile, & the Mach 5 to see which is the best for fighting.

Wow that car has a phone in it.

Sounds great! Although I think Bond's Aston Martin DB5 would be the likely winner, because of his license to kill and the car's machine guns. We know Batman has vowed not to kill! I think he would mostly be dodging bullets amd using a smoke screen. Of course, the Mach 5 would probably be doing that jumping thing it does. Yes, that would be a competition I'd like to see! I

And the Batmobile would totally win.

Well, if you are talking about the Michael Keeton Batmobile, then you may have a case, but I tought we were talking the Adam West Batmobile (also known as a souped up Ford Futura) because all the automobiles in question made their screen debuts (both big and little screens) in the sixties! Calling the moderator! I

The original Batmobile was a Ford FUTURA?? :d oh: For some reason I thought it was a GTO (no, wait maybe that was the Monkee Mobile?) Hey, I just realized you're from NYC!! Howdy "neighbor!!"

The Monkee Mobile? was a GTO?!!! Now that's scary! Yes and howdy right back at you! It's amazing! You've only been here two months and already you have twice as many posts as I do! Kudos to you! I

Why not add KITT to that challenge?- love the reruns of KNIGHT RIDER-

Not a Ford Futura, but THE Lincoln Futura, as in a 1 of a kind concept car. There may have been 2, but so what. And "souped up"? There was not really all that much needed to turn it into the Batmobile, as it was already awesome & 1/2!

Oh, now I see . . . LINCOLN . . . that's VERY DIFFERENT!! Great link BTW! I never knew about that concept car -- speaking of cool cars from the 60's....My folks had an Oldsmobile JETFIRE -- talk about "zoom zoom zoom" -- I was a little kid and remember how they had to give it a special alcohol mixture. It was the first car I remember "dieseling" -- Dad didn't drive it hard enough to keep it happy!!
