Canadian 1966 Batmobile Replica Commands Audi R8 Money

Many of you expressed a fondness for the Lincoln Futura-based <a href="http://trends-automotive.blogspot.com/search/label/Batmobile">Batmobile</a> used in the Adam West TV series of the late 1960s.<br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">One of our readers tipped us off to this sweet, '66 Batmobile replica in Saint-Eustache, Quebec. You'll no longer be the "uncool dad" when you drop your kids off at school in this baby, old chum.<br /></span></p><p> <a name="more"></a> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">But before you rush out to buy some grey tights and adopt a young, orphaned acrobat consider this: it has the rather un-sweet price tag of CA$176,995 (US$172,779). You could easily get into an Audi R8 V10 for that money. Heck, we even found a 2003 Lamborghini Murcielago for roughly the same price.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">And it pains me to remind you that under that svelte body are the aging Ford V8 and 3-speed-automatic transmission from a 1974 Lincoln Continental. Sure it's appropriate for the era, but then so were headbands and paisley and nobody wears them anymore.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">What we really want is the Batmobile we saw on TV, not the one that was wheeled on and off the set between takes. You know, the Batmobile that could unlock doors and sounded like a jet fighter taking off.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Unfortunately, this little boy is still waiting.<br /></span></p><p style="font-style: italic;"><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;" ><strong>By Tristan Hankins</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><strong><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;">Thanks for the tip Craig! , Link: <a href="http://www.excellencechrysler.com/en/usedcars/listing/details.spy?id=3304146" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">Excellencechrysler</a></span></span></strong></span></p><p><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><strong><br /></strong></span></p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTbjecN6I/AAAAAAADU8k/IbBfZ8b-Uxo/s1600/Batmobile-1966-8.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519816026140456866" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTbjecN6I/AAAAAAADU8k/IbBfZ8b-Uxo/s200/Batmobile-1966-8.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 151px; height: 113px;" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTbWbYHNI/AAAAAAADU8c/k_tBl38GyUs/s1600/Batmobile-1966-7.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519816022637944018" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTbWbYHNI/AAAAAAADU8c/k_tBl38GyUs/s200/Batmobile-1966-7.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 151px; height: 113px;" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTa0m0S_I/AAAAAAADU8U/WoSRoZwsMPA/s1600/Batmobile-1966-6.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519816013559122930" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTa0m0S_I/AAAAAAADU8U/WoSRoZwsMPA/s200/Batmobile-1966-6.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 151px; height: 113px;" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTalJAY3I/AAAAAAADU8M/jGfHDE6IQUc/s1600/Batmobile-1966-3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519816009407554418" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTalJAY3I/AAAAAAADU8M/jGfHDE6IQUc/s200/Batmobile-1966-3.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 151px; height: 113px;" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTaGBG01I/AAAAAAADU8E/qkigoPOfuBE/s1600/Batmobile-1966-5.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519816001052922706" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTaGBG01I/AAAAAAADU8E/qkigoPOfuBE/s200/Batmobile-1966-5.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 151px; height: 113px;" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTaI884lI/AAAAAAADU78/xbCTZLusBVw/s1600/Batmobile-1966-4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519816001840800338" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTaI884lI/AAAAAAADU78/xbCTZLusBVw/s200/Batmobile-1966-4.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 151px; height: 113px;" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTZ3RZcUI/AAAAAAADU70/O3sqMXaWFkw/s1600/Batmobile-1966-2.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519815997094719810" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJpTZ3RZcUI/AAAAAAADU70/O3sqMXaWFkw/s200/Batmobile-1966-2.JPG" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 151px; height: 113px;" /></a>
