The body is a Bob Butts fiberglass replica mounted to a 1979 Lincoln Town car. The 15x10 wheels are made by Radir, and the steering wheel and speedometer are from a 1959 Ford Edsel. All the Bats were custom made, and the car took 4 years to build. "I wanted the car to be as accurate as possible (this side of spending a million dollars), and also comfortable to drive. So we strayed from the original in that we added wheel wells, side marker lights, rear-view TV camera etc, and took creative license in a few areas such as the center console (needed a place for gauges and switches)." Many things
really work on this car, including: pulling the lever releases the chutes (F-15
ejection seat chutes), a motion detector sets the lights flashing if anyone
walks up, and eventually the turbine will be rigged to shoot CO2 out the Thanks to the "Mystery Michigan" owner for sharing his Batmobile. |
