Batman’s Sweet Ride on the Auction Block

Kruse International is auctioning off an exact replica of the Michael Keaton Batmobile from Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman movie.

The car is true to the movie in every way from its flame throwing afterburner to the 50 cal machine guns, alumn side intakes, grills, steel front turbine, alumn afterburner and real side mechanics… it has a canopy that moves under its own actuator to the correct wheels and Mickey Thompson tires. This stealth crime fighter has a small block 350 Chevy engine with an automatic transmission riding on a custom tube chassis this batmobile replica is a driver with working head and tail lights. Its interior is as well true to the movie down to every detail with leather seats, all leather dash and trim it also is equipped with aircraft gauges and instrumentation it was built by the prominent batmobile replica builder with all high quality parts and fabricated to handle the open road that’s right this car is a driver built for go as well as show. It has a full air suspension for clearance on steep drive ways and any obstacle in its path. You can drive this car, or even use it for display purposes.

Display purposes?  You can bet if I plunked down the money for one of the most recognizable movie cars in history, I’d be driving it to work every single day – afterburner and all.

The Batmobile goes up for sale this weekend in Las Vegas.  I really need to win the Power Ball Jackpot this week! How ’bout everyone send me some positive thoughts between now and Sunday to make it happen?
