Original Batmobile To Be Auctioned For the First Time Ever

Posted by Unknown on from the almost-as-cool-as-the-pt-cruiser dept.

Zothecula writes "In the past few years, not only has the Corvette-like Batmobile from Batman Returns been put up for auction, but a jet-powered replica of that same style of Batmobile has also been created. A drivable copy of the Dark Knight-era Tumbler has likewise been built, along with a working replica of the associated Bat Pod motorcycle. For many people, however, the only 'true' Batmobile is the original version driven by Adam West in the 1960s TV series – and it's about to be put on the auction block, for the first time ever."

    I really really hope Adam West is putting in a bid for this. After all, nobody messes with Adam We.

    Tricia Takanawa: Here comes Mayor Adam West himself. Mr. West, do you have any words for our viewers?
    Mayor Adam West: Yes: box, toaster, aluminum, maple syrup- no I take that one back. I'm gonna hold on to that one.
    Tricia Takanawa: Thank you, Mayor West.
