Thanks Six, the piece I read didn't note that the Futura never went into production. That obviously explains why I've never seen one on the road.
So, the Batmobile will be sold at Barrett-Jackson auction in January 2013.
It is powered by a 1956 Lincoln 390-cubic-inch V-8 and B&M Hydro automatic transmission. Among its many Bat-gadgets are a Bat Ray Projector, Batscope, Batphone and two 10-foot Deist parachutes to assist in 180-degree “bat-turns.”
“There are only a few things in life able to capture the soul of an era and the Batmobile did exactly that,” noted Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson.
