I grew up during the Batman series and thought the Batmobile was fascinating and awesome. I was a car guy at a very young age even before the series began, but the Batmobile helped cement my love of cars forever. RIP George Barris.
To have a wife who's that supportive is amazing. When I bought my first luxury watch, my wife literally hugged, kissed, and congratulated me. So I know what that feeling is like. It's amazing. Seeing that buyer's wife give the same support to her husband was awesome.
I was driving down the street in Beverly Hills one night . Adam west was on passenger seat got out to attend an event. The late tony wood was driving the car he invited me in for a ride which began a long incredible friendship. Miss tony , George the Batmobile great great memories
As a huge fan of the Batman series, l went, along with my 2 brothers, to the World Of Wheels, at the D.C. Armory, in Washington DC, in the late 60s . There on the wood floor, sat the most amazing car l ever saw ..the Batmobile . Seeing it here at the auction, totally restored, takes my breath away !
This made me emotional it's so great. I cannot imagine what it was like to be there. I got chills watching, and I knew how it was going to end! Love B-J.
Buyers premium gets added to the final bid price. From the Barret-Jackson page....."On-site Buyer's Premium: 10%". So it sold for 4.2million, plus 10%, takes it up to 4.6million.
Takes it down the highway at speed, hits a deep rut in the road, car flips, totally destroyed but not no serious personal injuries. lol. Good investment.
In 1967 I was just a young boy of 6 but I heard about the car show...well, what kind of a car show would it be without the Bat Mobile? I got my father to take me to NYC and we saw the car show. I went for one solitary reason...and was I disappointed! How can it be a car show without the most famous of all cars? Pretty logical for a 6yo but as I found out, not the way the world works.
Makes absolutely no sense. If there were 2 of them bidding on the same item you would just make them keep bidding against each other until its highest price you wouldn't just flip a coin over it
I can't believe I was lucky enough to be there had a blast at 24 years old. The car was gorgeous in person. It's funny I'm trying to find me and my ex girlfriend in this video.
Living in Chicago I get a call from a dear friend wants to know if I still did headers because he was working on a car that a damaged one. I drive to the one car garage in a city neighborhood there sitting on jack stands is Batmobile. He is holding the transmission pan with badge reading Carr. It was a 66 Ford chassis with a built 427. Was told there are 6 of these plus the one here that was made from a Lincoln concept car.
HERE IS A TRUE STORY. THE END OF 2016 INTO 2017 I WAS WORKING FOR A SUB COMPANY FOR THE POST OFFICE IN ST CATHARINES ONTARIO.DID A DELIVERY UP IN THOROLD ONTARIO.......KNOCKED ON DOOR AND GUY COMES OUT I HAND HIM THEBOX. HE SAYS WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU ARE DELIVERING TO ME. I SAID OK. HE PROCEDDED TO OPEN BOX AND PULLED OUT A VERY LARGE ....OVERSIDED HARD COVER BOOK. IT CONTAINED BEAUTIFUL PICS OF THE ORIGONAL SHOW. AT THE TIME HE SAID HE HAD BOTH BURT WARD AND ADAM WEST ON THREE WAY PHONE CALL AND HE HAD TO GO. HE CLAIMED HE WAS BURT WARDS MANAGER. THIS GUY ALSO HAS AN ORIGONAL BATMOBILE IN HIS GARAGE THAT HE TAKES OUT FROM TIME TO TIME AND DRIVES IT AROUND TOWN...........CRAZY
Joker🃏(jim carrey) and 2 faces 🎭 (tomy lee jones) stell/ flip the coin and win/buy🏅 the car He also reminds me of jack nicholson - joker 🦹🏻♂️ and the original joker with white face 🤡 and purple🔮costume from 1966 tv- mini series batman movie show with the original car 🚘
the coin flip was embarrassing, and pointless, as the auctioneer isnt going to decide a $100,000 bid on a coin flip between two dudes. the auctioneer wasnt even aware it was going on, so it was a waste of time
Why do people like you think its ok to tell other's what to do with their money?? Its not yours! You didn't make it! Where do you get off trying to control what others do???? Get over yourself! You are NOT that important!!!!
I was in the room for this one watching. Unreal experience I’ll never forget
From an unreal experience then to hosting on our stage now, glad to have you!
They OUTBID Hoovie?
The guy that bought it drives it as well here in arizona.
Who bought it
We probably walked by each other lol. There was so many people tho..

I remember watching this live on SPEED with my dad, who was a massive fan of the original show. This is still one of the coolest cars ever made.
So Glad George & Linda were there for the Auction.. Totally Iconic Moment..

I saw this in real time during the original auction of the TV Batmobile : )
I saw the Batmobile on Highland Ave, Whippany, NJ back in the 60's. I wish I had a camera back then to prove it.
To capture these sales & see the emotions. Awesome
This gave me goosebumps. Awesome auction!
This made me emotional it's so great. I cannot imagine what it was like to be there. I got chills watching, and I knew how it was going to end! Love B-J.
Holy Moly Batman ...that was exciting, what a beautiful iconic vehicle......
The most famous car on the planet the bat mobile don’t worry George she’ll be fine
One of - I'd still rate he James Bond DB5 from the Connery movies up there as well .
Ok sure bro I guess
@@boombox4037 You could also argue that in certain parts of the world the 6 wheeled pink rolls from Thunderbirds is as famous.
@@michaelandrew4488uhh it was just my opinion on the car dude
So much for answering any question he was asked.
I love the Batmoblie but I hate all the fake ass people surrounding the car it should be on a stand rotating by itself with no one around it.
Linda Vaughn deserves to be up there though.
I love it also , but not 4 million dollars worth .
I lOVE THIS SO MUCH WOW !!!!!!!
One of the greatest cars in media history. Arguably THE greatest. That value multipled since that sale. Wonder if that guy still owns it.
His wife likely got it in the divorce settlement . 😂
Enjoyed!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
The only thing I could see topping this is Barrett-Jackson auctioning off the Millennium Falcon.
Is George Barris gonna sell his Lincoln continental Mark 3 "The Car"?
I remember watching this as it happened. So freaking cool.
The guy that bought it used to drive it around awatukee all the time. Ive not seen it in two years.
I don"t understand ...Why are they so many people on the stage ?
Special occasion.
I remember that day...who ever thought...
Jeff is now considering selling his bat mobile after being there for this crazy experience
Can someone explain why the title says sold for 4.6 but in the auction it only went up to 4.3
Buyers premium gets added to the final bid price. From the Barret-Jackson page....."On-site Buyer's Premium: 10%". So it sold for 4.2million, plus 10%, takes it up to 4.6million.
I have a picture of my son in that car from 15 years ago
Why did they cut off the interview that was about to happen?
Hey Craig... Tell * Foster Grant * over there to Take his shades off.. ( he's inside )..
I'm so sorry but I keep watching 6:47 his teeth feel out
Takes it down the highway at speed, hits a deep rut in the road, car flips, totally destroyed but not no serious
personal injuries. lol. Good investment.
Is this in the galpin collection now ?
Who bought it?

10 million next auction
I thought uncle Mel was crazy when he bought the Monkeemobile for $360k 😂....until they sold the Batmobile
Look Batman it's Hoovie !! We need more hoovie Robin . God I love this car . And do you know who God loves Hoovie . #morehoovie
Paid 4 million for a car but had to borrow a quarter from his buddy.
Makes absolutely no sense. If there were 2 of them bidding on the same item you would just make them keep bidding against each other until its highest price you wouldn't just flip a coin over it
The coin flip was done by the bidders, not by anyone else. They decided to flip the coin themselves. Rich people do strange things sometimes.
Wish Adam West could have seen this happen.
I can't believe I was lucky enough to be there had a blast at 24 years old. The car was gorgeous in person. It's funny I'm trying to find me and my ex girlfriend in this video.

4 POINT. 6. MILLION DALLARS some one got the money
Wish i had the money

So glad his teeth didn't fall out on the stage.
Love ya, but put the camera on the vehicle and leave it. Don't move it!! Let us look!
i think that was a bargain. especially when millionaires have paid far more for far less.
the coin flip was embarrassing, and pointless, as the auctioneer isnt going to decide a $100,000 bid on a coin flip between two dudes. the auctioneer wasnt even aware it was going on, so it was a waste of time
George 🤦
Una locura sobrevalorado a mi entender
They could have went to Saint Jude, Children’s Hospital instead and do something with that money
Why do people like you think its ok to tell other's what to do with their money?? Its not yours! You didn't make it! Where do you get off trying to control what others do???? Get over yourself! You are NOT that important!!!!
TOTAL JUNK
