Vehicle Description
The task of creating the original Batmobile was given to the famous
custom car builder, George Barris. Barris was given only three
weeks to produce the creation that would forever seal his name in
the history books. There were just four original Barris-built
Batmobiles. Batmobiles toured the country, making appearances at
county fairs and race meets. This re-creation exhibition car was
built by Jay Orhrberg Hollywood Cars. It was sold from a private
collector in Los Angeles during the 1980s to a collector in
Germany. It was then purchased by a private museum in 1991. This
world traveler resided in the Cars of the Stars collection.
Importantly, this re-creation was built on a 1959 Lincoln chassis
with a hand-built steel body. It is finished in the classic
Batmobile livery of black with red highlight lines and finished
with Cragar wheels. The open cockpit is decorated with round
windshields, and the interior is tailored with black seats with
orange piping, black carpet, a Bat-phone mounted to the dash,
custom steering wheel and Batman symbols on the doors. Powering
this stunning Batmobile re-creation is a carbureted V8 engine
coupled with an automatic transmission. **SOLD ON BILL OF SALE
