cruise around on the Batphone, pretending to talk to Commissioner
Gordon or Alfred? MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer this
1966 Batmobile Replica that was personally owned by professional
wrestler Jerry ?The King? Lawler! This Batmobile was also signed by
Adam West, Burt Ward, Jerry Lawler, Anthony Michael Hall, Jeremy
Bulloch and even Dustin Diamond (Screech from saved by the bell).
Jerry ?The King? Lawler had this to say about this Batmobile when
he had it built by Matt Dollar for his Museum at Resorts Casino in
Tunica. And in a crazy, roundabout way, yes, there is a connection
between the two. ??It sort of all comes full circle,? Lawler
explains. ?I?ve always been a huge fan of Batman and Superman; I
even sought out a girlfriend who had a color TV so I could watch
Batman in color in the ?60s. ??With my interest in art as a kid, I
can remember drawing Superman and Batman, and my long-range plan
was to work for DC Comics. But then I got sidetracked doing some
drawings of wrestlers, and that led to my career in wrestling. In
that role, I was at a fan expo signing autographs and met Matt
Dollar, a guy from Johnson City, Tenn., who has built several
replicas of the Batmobile. He makes the capes, cowls and other
things that Adam West (TV?s Batman) still uses at appearances. So
because of the wrestling, I met Matt and now have the Batmobile.?
Lawler prefers not to say how much he paid for his newest ride,
only that it was ?considerably less? than the $4.6 million that the
original sold for to a private buyer at auction in January. What he
will say is that the full-size replica is drivable, so that?s what
Lawler plans to do Saturday -- drive it to Tunica for the opening
of his museum. The museum, filled with memorabilia from Lawler?s 43
years of professional wrestling, is in an open area on the second
floor of the casino and will be free to visitors. With the usual
shiny black paint and red trim, the car?s body is in very good
order, as are the dual canopies for driver and passenger. This is
Batrodz body #18 and is built on a early Corvette C4 frame with
Corvette suspension. A Buick 350 CID V-8 engine from a 1971 Skylark
provides the motive power, channeling it through a three-speed
automatic transmission. The car had power steering and brakes to
make chasing the bad guys easier. The Batmobile rolls on BFG size
P245/60/R16 front and P295/50/R15 in the rear. Each tire is mounted
on alloy torque-thrust wheels with red bat logos as center caps.
The tires and wheels are all in very good order. Inside, the black
bucket seats sport red trim and look great. The red carpet looks
fine. A red bat logo serves as the tiller while the instrument
panel is a polished rolltop with buttons and lights. A T-shaped
shifter and bat phone graces the center console. It looks like
nothing else on the road yet is instantly recognizable by young and
old people alike. If you don?t mind the questions being in non-stop
photos and videos whenever you take it for a spin, stop by
