Over the years, I’ve always said if I was a very rich man, I’d commission a recreation of the Batmobile<\/strong><\/a> used in the 1960’s tv series<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although I’m not a rich man (so I won’t\u00a0order one)\u00a0Hammcher Schlemmer has a recreation that you can\u00a0pick\u00a0up for $200,000<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0Here’s what you’ll get for your dough:<\/p>\n

\n

Built on a custom Lincoln chassis, this crime-fighting cruiser comes standard with a 430-horsepower, 383 Blueprint Crate engine and a Monster TH350 automatic transmission. Though equipped with neither atomic batteries for power nor turbines for speed, a rear-facing propane tank creates the same afterburner effect as the original. The vehicle’s cockpit honors the gadgetry of the TV series with a blinking Batphone, switch-operated electric actuators that open the hood and trunk, and a rotating red beacon to alert citizens while in pursuit of fiendish criminals. Other intriguing, if less functional, accessories include a glowing detect-a-scope screen, a Batbeam ray that raises from a hood-mounted antenna, and empty rear parachute packs. The vehicle’s exterior bears all the hallmarks of its namesake, from bubble-canopy windshields to chrome “rocket” tubes behind the rear windshield…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So, if any of you decide to pick up the Batmobile<\/strong>, how about giving me a ride sometime. \u00a0I’ve always wanted a chance to say “Atomic turbines to power…”<\/p>\n
