    Reasonable enough. But yeah, you'd have to make the fake pipes shoot fire.

    You know why it's a Nice Price? Because there isn't really a modern car that can be half-rebodied and carry that sort of presence. Well, maybe the Camaro/Challenger, but that's still tough.

    @MushyHeirloom: You could start with a new Town Car or Grand Marquis. Would probably have to have a buddy with a fleet code order it for you though. #batmobile

    Three women: one engaged, one married and one a mistress, are
    chatting over lunch and conversation turns to their relationships. They
    decided that night to surprise their men. All three would wear a black
    leather bra, bodice and thong, black nylons, stiletto heels and a mask over their eyes.

    A few days later they meet up for lunch.

    The engaged woman: "The other night when my boyfriend came over
    He found me with a black leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask. He saw
    me and said, 'You are the woman of my dreams. I love you.' Then we made
    love all night long."

    The mistress: "Me too! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was wearing the leather outfit, heels, mask over my eyes and a raincoat. When I opened the raincoat he didn't say a word, but we had wild sex for hours."

    The married woman: "I sent the kids to stay at my mother's house
    for the night. When my husband came home I was wearing the leather bra,
    black stockings, stilettos and a mask over my eyes. He walked in the door,
    looked at me and said, 'What's for dinner, Batman?'" #batmobile

    Already have one. Had it for years. It's a Corgi.

    I should be all excited and psyched about this, but when I see it, it reminds me of those serious geeks at conventions in elaborate costumes. I always think: "those poor people." This is pretty much the automotive equivalent of that.

    I also have my own batcave. #batmobile

    Oh yeah, I would rock this hard. Among the things I would do if I had it...

    I would make my 11 year old son wash it, calling him "Alfred" all the while.

    When cruising chicks, I would drop the line "Once you've had bat, you'll never go back."

    If a patrolman pulled me over, I would claim I was on a special assignment for The Comissioner.

    I would start referring to my home as "Stately Wayne Manor". #batmobile

    I was going for crack pipe, but I looked at the listing and it's really well done and is in excellent condition.

    And I would never even think about buying that. That's really tacky. They should call Adam West. He could buy that with his Family Guy cash. #batmobile

    Awesome! Totally awesome! I would welcome it into my fantasy garage. I would drive it every now and then. I would do the occaisional parade or show. Some would point and laugh. Some would think I was insane. Some would be jealous. I would not care. I'm batman and you're not. #batmobile

    Nice Price if the weather is perfect and you have lots of time to be pulled over, asked to pose for pictures every time you buy gas, and so on.

    Crack Pipe if ever decide to drive it in less-than-perfect weather (no a/c...or ROOF...is there even a heater?), or just want to cruise around in it without being pestered to death.

    Best to be part of a large car collection and parked on display to show off to your friends. In that situation, Nice Price! #batmobile

    With a replica this faithful, a buyer could recoup at least part of the purchase cost by renting this crowd-puller out for parades, store openings, and other commercial purposes. How many other $20,000 vehicles can promise you this sort of return? Nice Price at that level, but it'll be interesting to see where the bidding goes.

    I'd say nice price if it was made out of a Ford (a 65-66 Galaxie would be appropriate), for a reasonable sense of authenticity. Other than that, it looks to be really well-done. #batmobile

    @Paul Y. don't drive too fast.: The original Batmobile was a modification of a 1955 Lincoln show car which in turn was based on Continental Mark II underpinnings. At least the featured car uses a platform from the same marque. How would using a '65-'66 Galaxie add authenticity?

    I'm pretty sure I saw this on either Mecum or Barrett-Jackson not too long ago. It's definitely the same one, because I remember the signatures... if I'm right, it went for like $40,000 there...

    That's some serious depreciation, but still not necessarily NP... #batmobile

    @grizzle: I think I saw it on one of the reruns of Barrett-Jackson. I seem to remember something in the $50-75k range. Nice price only if I could do a quick resale for profit. #batmobile
