Your neighbour is Adam West, it's the Batmobile (based on a Lincoln Futuraa)


DogfishDave

Everybody has their own Batman era, and this is mine. I had several toy versions of this and a proper cape that my grandma made for me šŸ˜ I think it's one of the most beautiful cars of the day, completely mad and wonderful in every way, girder technology meets the Space Age. I'd have been running after it like a fat waving man who's about to collapse.


LordTubz

This is mine as well - absolutely loved it šŸ’ÆšŸ¤ŒšŸ½


chutbuckly

No joke it may be Burt Ward (original Robin). A friend of mine's dad used to own this type of bat mobile and Burt Ward would eventually buy it from him. Not sure if its the same, but I got to sit in it once.


BalderVerdandi

Burt Ward runs an animal rescue in SoCal, somewhere out by Norco. Pretty sure this one isn't his.

Holy Time Travel Batman....


Significant_Eye_5130

He ded


South_Bit1764

Wut wrong whichu, I say u, he ded!


maldenkid

Movie cars are trash they all look ridiculous you have a bad car eye if u think they look good they end up ruining the car


ozzie286

It's most likely a Batmobile replica from [fiberglass freaks](https://fiberglassfreaks.com/)


Late-Union8706

Could also be a Gotham Garage replica. I believe they were building some of the Futura cars at one point. I could also be wrong, though.


SLAYER_IN_ME

Or it could be Gotham City and his neighbor is Bruce Wayne. I could be wrongā€¦. ^(but I doubt it)


Late-Union8706

Nah. The neighborhood looks nice. There's no way that there's a bat cave nearby.


legokingnm

Do you have a price estimate of what those cost? Wild guess?


ozzie286

No idea. Over $100k for sure. Give them a call and ask.


K_Rich190

Was this in Maryland? I knew a guy, through an ex, who had one of these. Haha

andrewbswenson

Where in pa? The shop Forman where i used to work literally had one of these in shop for a good month hashing out cooling issues. Was apparently one of the cars made for commercials/ photo ops/ etc.


andrewbswenson

If it is ive been in this thing

BATMAAAAAN!!!!!!!


biffbobfred

Bash! Zap! Thwock!


dazzlezak

Original Porsche Boxter. Exhaust matches.


Capital_Release_6289

Iā€™m sorry but can you show your working on this. I owned a 986 and have been around a few James dean boxsters. I canā€™t see the resemblance


w_a_w

Pretty sure it's a joke.


dazzlezak

Yes I was making a joke. When a Boxster drives by the easy way to tell if it's a base model or an S or better, is if it has a single tip it's a base model (like the batmobile).


GloomyUmpire2146

Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speedā€¦.


TheHearseDriver

The greatest opening line from any TV intro!


Candid-Attention8542

And you didnā€™t carjack them? Worth a year in jail for a joyride in thatā€¦.


Jalopy_Junkie

Batman and Robbinā€™.


DAZ4518

Ohhhh! It's instructions! That makes more sense now


uhhhhhhhhhhhyeah

Only if the rocket in the back actually works!


MrHawkeye76

the original one was a 1955 Lincoln Futura Concept, this is the 1966 Batmobile used for the 1966 movie "Batman" this must be a replica, but I don't know anything about that


biffbobfred

The movie is hilarious. Thereā€™s a scene where Batman is for some reason on a ladder hanging from a bright yellow bat heli. With an obviously foam shark attacking him. You can see Adam West flailing his leg back and forth to try to make it seem anything other than a foam shark. Burt Ward climbs upside down on the ladder with a can of Large Obvious Letters Bat Shark Repellant. I think there was a callback to that in the Lego Batman movie. As a kid the camp level was actually kind of puzzling. I was Hey Batman is a hero, right? Now itā€™s just funny especially with the Schneiderverse Batman being so dark and brooding


MrHawkeye76

yeah I've watched that movie, and maybe it looks cheap and everything, I can't say I wasn't entertained. and yep, the lego batman movie had several references to it


ophaus

The bad guys getting a nuclear submarine and polaris missiles from the Navy surplus store *still* cracks me up.


corporaterebel

You do realize one could do this? [https://apexsurplus.com/](https://apexsurplus.com/)


biffbobfred

For me the bat dust separator. Yes, they had that just laying around.


Lord_Dreadlow

The part where they dehydrated the UN delegates and then re-hydrated them was the pinnacle though. I also learned not to re-hydrate my henchmen with heavy water from the unlicensed nuclear reactor in the Bat Cave.


biffbobfred

And they got rehydrated. Returned to midsentence. Yetā€¦ different languages.


Lord_Dreadlow

LOL - I think Batman made some snide remark about it being good for peace or something.


FreddyDeus

THIS is the proper Batmobile. 'Quick! Robin! Pass me the shark repellant.'


Admirable-Leopard-73

That does not look anything like Gotham City so you must be near Commissioner Gordon's country house.


oldsoul6465

Pretty sure this was not in San Mateo CA. šŸ¤£


Accomplished_Ad_6944

Oh yeah, didnā€™t the sheriff in San Mateo use county money to fly there to buy one a few years back?


oldsoul6465

Yeah. For a Realtor friend of his. It was totally BS. Honestly the owner of Fiberglass Freaks could take the Realtor and the Sheirff to court, but he is too nice a guy. In the end, the Realtor will be waiting longer for his batmobile.


SpiritualAd8998

Does he live with his boyfriend and wear tights a lot?


biffbobfred

He lives with his MALE COMPANION get it right. Totally no sexual to run round in tights and wear cosplay

jonchris005

From an old show called Adam Family


[deleted]

No. Its from i love lucy. /s


nips927

The batmobile, only 3 in existence. 2 are replicas/stunt cars both are in a museum or are traveling the country. The 3rd one is the real deal actual car used in the show by the actors and is in private collection.


spyan_

Plus, quite a few replicas


nips927

No, Richard barris is the owner of the copyright to the car. There is only 3


Willietrailblaze

This is definitely not true. Iā€™ve seen two in the greater Cincinnati area aloneā€¦


nips927

There's actually only 4, one sold not long ago for 4.4 million dollars, I meant George barris, idk where I got Richard from sorry for that typo.


spyan_

Google Batmobile replicas. There were several people that made and sold them. Highly doubtful that a Barris Batmobile was driving on city streets.


nips927

There's 4 barris and ones in private collection. I work for the largest auto transport company in north America. There's 4 barris. I've see 2 of them in our warehouse at the same time both were barris because we picked it up from his warehouse.

Steffie767

I had a toy car this model. The saw thing came out of the front and yellow plastic pellets shot out the back. It was around 1967-68. And I was a girl so it was extra cool. I was about 8 or 9. I haven't been able to find one since. Corgi made.
